Mirador Chinese Takeaway

Based in the village of Cullybackey just outside Ballymena, Mirador is a neighbourhood Chinese takeaway that serves the surrounding area with the familiar line-up of chicken, beef and duck dishes. Portions are generous and the sauces are described by fans as thick and tasty, with a range of set deals for those feeding a family. The shop holds a Food Hygiene Rating and sits at around 4 out of 5 on Google, though feedback across other review sites is more mixed.

As with many busy village takeaways, opinions vary: some diners report excellent, well-priced food, while others have had less consistent experiences with deliveries. Eaten fresh from the counter, the curries and rice boxes tend to win the warmest reviews. If you are in the Cullybackey area and after a straightforward Chinese without a trip into Ballymena itself, it is a handy local option that has kept its regulars coming back over the years.
