I ordered the char kuey teow.
Ordered through just eat and it arrived sooner than expected which was nice.

The food:
Quality is excellent, nice juicy succulent prawns, I got 5 in my dish which was a bit tight.
The flavour was amazing and well seasoned
Came with a fresh wedge of lime which was a nice touch.

Cost €14 + €3 for delivery, which wasn't cheap, but would happily pay for quality food.
But the biggest let down was the quantity. It came in a tiny folded tub, I immediately felt a bit scammed.
I then opened the tub and it was only 2/3's full.
One third noodles and then generously topped with bean sprouts, it was genuinely a starter portion.
Was left hungry after and Without any exaggeration you'd be expecting at least twice the amount.

I really found little to no value and was really let down. Such a pity as it's so promising, food quality is excellent but don't expect to this to fill the hunger gap.

Have eaten here a few times now, both takeaway, and in the restaurant. There were a few teething pains at the start, but seems to be ironed out now. Food is great, very fresh, and staff are lovely. The Hong Kong chicken is a beaut!

Can't recommend Aroi Carrigaline enough. If you haven't gone put it on your to go to list for sure. Been twice and can't wait for many more visits. Don and all the staff were so helpful. Jayne was fab. Found out about one or two things we unsure about in some dishes. Jayne also made the most wonderful cocktails. The nicest food in a lovely atmosphere.

Aroi is described as an Asian Fusion restaurant.
We had booked a table, were offered drinks immediately on being seated, and given the varied menu.
The restaurant was really busy. Our food was delicious with all in our party pleased with the quality of food. The yellow fish curry and lamb rendang curries were particular favourites. The drinks menu is good and decaffeinated coffee available.
We will be back.

We booked for 15 people, when we arrived we had 2 tables men sat at one women at the other. Men got their drinks first as they ordered pints, unfortunately we ordered some cocktails and were waiting nearly 40mns for them. In the meantime the men had ordered there food, we got our drinks and the men got their food. The men were just finished the food when we got ours. The men got another drink, we ordered one again there was a long wait, men were gone by the time we got our second drink. We asked and recieved a dessert menu but we waited so long for someone to come back and take the order in the end we just asked for the bill which we didn't have to wait for. The staff were lovely and the food was fabulous, but the service was horrendous. 😔😔😔😔
