    <comment>Following a lovely meal in its sister restaurant Il Corvo, my boyfriend and I decided to try Chilli Banana. The decor is lovely and very comfortable.Authentic Thai but not tacky. The tables are a little close together though. Portions were impressive and the waitress was very accommodating with my rather awkward order. Food was delicious; Combination of starters and sizzling beef and prawns and ginger for main. The chocolate cheesecake is pure heaven! Food is good value and served in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and chatty; something you don't really get anymore. Service was attentive throughout. I will definitely recommend Chilli Banana....I'll be back soon. </comment>

    <comment>We ate here for the third time last week and the food is still great.The staff are very nice and not too eager to ask if everything is good.The tables are a bit too close together so you can here everyone's conversations around you.They offer good value for money.
It still has a nice atmosphere and the place is tastefully furnished.</comment>

    <comment>There were five of us for dinner last Thursday and four of us were new to the Chilli Banana. We ordered two of  the sharing platters which were extremely tasty and the portions very generous.We had a variety of dishes which everyone really enjoyed and my  chilli chicken was hot without the chilli being too strong.The wine was reasonable and decor made you feel like you were out for the night even if it's a local destination. The staff were very friendly and the total bill turned out to be very reasonable. I would definitely go back.</comment>

    <comment>Lovely restaurant in Drumcondra.If you want some privacy I recommend booking a table upstairs. The problem with downstairs is the tables are too close together. I really wish they would remove one table to allow more room and privacy. The red curry beef and chicken are extremely tasty. The staff are very friendly and the early bird menu is very good value. </comment>

    <comment>I dined here with three other last month and I have to say we all agreed the food was fantastic! 
The atmosphere and service were ver good also.

Since dining here I have also had a take away twice, both times it was lovely.

I would certainly recommend this restaurant for a romantic meal or for larger groups.</comment>
