Austins Takeaway

A genuine family-run institution, Austins Takeaway has been frying fish in the village of Ballygawley since 1975, and generations of locals have grown up on its food. It is a proper old-school chippy: spotless, fast and friendly, turning out freshly cooked suppers, a popular Chicken Kiev and hearty kebab boxes. Regulars have a particular soft spot for the house Smokey Joe, a filling favourite that keeps people coming back week after week.

Reviews are warm across the board, with a Restaurant Guru score of 4.4/5 from well over a hundred diners praising the freshness and the value, while the tidy kitchen and cheerful service get repeated mentions. Set on the main thoroughfare through Ballygawley, it is a handy stop for anyone passing through this corner of County Tyrone or feeding a hungry family at the end of the day. For honest, traditional takeaway food with decades of pedigree, Austins is hard to beat.
