BAMBU Thai and Chinese restaurant at 116 O’Connell Street is one of the better, brighter  venues on our main thoroughfare. Based over  Texas SteakOut, foods and aromas are drop dead gorgeous and prices are drop dead folly: check out the weekday lunch of three courses, with service at your table service, for just €9.95.

Owner Mags Enright works hard to get the balance right between the exotic and familiar at this stylish, seven day joint.

“We are now bringing the Bambu experience to people’s homes or place of work, according to the occasion being celebrated,” she tells Leisure page. “We will bring over your selection of dishes from the Bambu menu for large parties and set up chafing dishes - the stainless steel casseroles kept over heat - so that your buffet will keep hot for the duration of your party”.

Think about it, the bliss and hospitality of Cashewnut Beef, Ginger Chicken, Sweet& Sour Chicken, Beef with Black Pepper to make light work of a party.  Feeding a gathering like this, a selection to sample and in their own timeframe, allows your guests to graze and enjoy at ease.

Expert catering with hot foods makes Bambu a real all-weather, all-season friend. Lay on starters such as Thai Style Spare Ribs and Toasted Prawn for starters, and side dishes of rice, chips and bowls of freshly made salad.

Bambu can respond with a house call to set up for parties of 25 people or more. Make light work of your next Confirmation, Communion, anniversary, birthday or sports and social ‘do’ by ringing 061-401523 to discuss the menu and delivery.
