Shaku Maku in Dublin

21/10/2026: Conveniently located within walking distance of our hotel, this Lebanese restaurant serves tasty food in rather uninspiring surroundings. The dining room is dark and somewhat shabby, with an overcrowded, rather bizarre decor, and the tables are small. Service was fairly quick, although there was a minor issue with our booking. The food was very tasty, the portions were huge and the dishes, while satisfying, were not particularly sophisticated. The overall presentation was nothing special, either. A good place for an enjoyable, straightforward meal at competitive prices, but not somewhere you would want to linger. The food is definitely better than the surroundings! Three stars for a good, average restaurant.

20/10/2026: Good Syrian food. Grilled chicken with outstanding hummus. The older gentleman was very welcoming and one of the reasons we went back. The younger chap was a bit pushy on the wine, opened a large bottle instead of just a small bottle of Prosecco. The food is amazing so we will be back.
