Tasty foodCurryGenerous portions
Incredible hand-cut chips!I stopped by Chipeen on Shop Street and was blown away. It was amazing to watch them slice the fresh potatoes right in front of my eyes using the manual pull-handle cutter. We tried the chips topped with satay curry sauce and cheese, and the combination was absolutely delicious. The rich, nutty satay curry combined with the melted cheese was pure comfort food. A must-visit when you are walking through Galway!
I tried the traditional Irish chips and went with the Garlic Parm signature—they were so good and really satisfying! Honestly, I could’ve finished the whole lot without leaving a single chip behind 😅
They were super tasty and the portion size was just right. My order came out in about 5 minutes, so the service was quick and efficient. The staff were also lovely—really friendly and welcoming.
If I’m ever back in Galway, I’d definitely return. Highly recommend this cute spot, especially if it’s your first time visiting!
I came here on a sunny and cool Saturday around 2pm in mid April during a trip to visit to Galway. Our visit to Galway was part of an eight day trip to Ireland from NYC. Most of the restaurants on the main shopping street in Galway look very touristy so this seemed like a nice alternative to an overpriced and mediocre meal. There was no line to order the fries when I arrived and I waited about five minutes for the fries to come out.
The three workers were very nice and upbeat. They are splitting fresh potatoes into chips (or fries) right in front you that are used for frying. There are several sauces and they offer the ability to sample any of them before completing your order. There is not a dining area, inside the restaurant but there is a standing dining area attached to the main window of the restaurant where the cook delivers the fries. You can stand and eat in the area but there are several pigeons meandering around to feast on droppings. I ordered the curry cheese fries which I thought were great. We also ordered a side of the gravy which very good, but also salty and I’m glad I didn’t order it as my primary sauce.
I enjoyed this place and would go back and would recommend. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t have more sauces that weren’t mayonnaise based. I also think they could be better with labeling vegetarian items on their menu.
Thanks David, we appreciate your feedback and glad you enjoyed the curry cheese. We will definitely take your feedback onboard 🤝 …
