On a side street off Kilkenny's bustling High Street an unremarkable entrance sits between an electrical shop and a fishmonger, and it would be easy to pass by.
But that would be a pity, as Aroi (pronounced Aroy - meaning 'delicious') is far from being the usual Irish interpretation of food from the Far East.
The key to everything that's so good at Aroi is the authentic flavours - and that's down to fresh local ingredients, carefully sourced herbs and spices, and the fact that there's no flavour enhancing M.S.G. (Monosodium glutamate) used in any of their food.
With pocket friendly prices, friendly staff providing excellent service, a relaxed atmosphere and such tasty, healthy food that is easy to share, it’s not hard to see why Aroi has become one of the city's most popular destinations for families and friends alike.
