The best restaurants in Cork city council

25/07/2026: Ordered caesar salad and linguine... salad was fine, never got my main dish. Long wait, understaffed, food didn't come out in time, when i cancelled my order after 15 minutes waiting, server got visibly angry... felt bad but was not a pleasant experience unfortunately.

14/06/2026: The staff here were very welcoming and professional! Our food and dessert came out quickly and were delicious. Junior went above and beyond, making us some lovely coffees to go with dessert. Junior’s service and the restaurant as a whole were spot-on, high recommend!

21/09/2026: Ordered a toasted burrito with no corn and no onion salsa. Received a untoasted burrito with corn and onion salsa and had about 4 pieces of chicken in it. Also ordered a portion of nachos with no guacamole, but ofcourse there was guacamole inside, and about 4 soggy tortilla chips under to heap of guacamole and other salsa

08/09/2026: Tastes nice but I had the runs after

02/10/2026: Very good food, the only problem is eating without getting dirty is impossible since the bao fell apart quickly. Very patient and kind staff.

02/09/2026: Great food, and Martha was very kind to me, thanks a million will be back

14/09/2026: I couldn't find the place because it was exactly like the Google Maps photo - blurry. I wish they would do something about the blur and erect a sign or something.

06/08/2026: Got the combo box and didn't even get a picture beforehand because it was so nice, lovely feed for 2 people. Top 3 munches on my list. Around €18-€25 if you get a tub of curry on the side and 2 cans of drink. Definitely recommend 👌

15/07/2026: Always amazing,have never been disappointed.

14/06/2026: Very very expensive, and they didn’t allow us to stay because only one of us had ordered something

08/09/2026: We're never informed that roosters had changed ownership and we were in there last week and my wife ate what she loves there but did not know that they had changed there ingredients and my wife has been sick since because she suffers from ulcer collinitis and has to be careful what she eats and we have been going to roosters in douglas for 4 to 5 years and never had a problem

20/08/2026: Disappointing portion sizes Ordered the chicken wrap meal with mashed potatoes. As you can see from the photos, the mash barely filled a third of the container — basically two spoons of food. The wrap was alright, but the side portions are unacceptable for the price.

25/09/2026: Me and my husband are visiting from the United States. We traveled to Corbh, Ireland to site see and happened upon Country Grill Chicken food truck. We could smell a wonderful aroma a mile away. We decided to try it and it did not disappoint. The chicken was moist and deliciously seasoned! I had a pulled chicken sandwich and the amazing seasoned chicken, along with all the toppings were spectacular. It is a must try!

17/07/2026: Got a full chicken absolutely beautiful it was was delicious was on the verge of eating the bones 😂😂

28/09/2026: Lovely food, decent portions and sound staff. Always hits the spot

28/09/2026: Great food, great staff, quick order preparation, never had a complaint or problem.

09/10/2026: The staff was not really kind. That was the worst Döner Kebab I ever had in my entire life. 10€ was way too expensive for such a disaster.

20/09/2026: I don't even know where to begin. How do you judge something that has completely changed your view of food? How do you describe an experience that is so incredibly good that normal words suddenly fall completely short? Ali Baba. Three syllables. One name. The best döner shop humanity has ever produced. Before I discovered Ali Baba, I thought I knew what good food was. I thought I understood döner. I thought I had experienced culinary perfection. I knew absolutely nothing. Then I discovered Ali Baba. The first bite wasn't just a bite. It was a revelation. It was as if heaven opened, angels started singing, and every chef who has ever lived whispered collectively: “This is how it should be.” The meat isn't just meat. It is perfection. Seasoned with what can only be described as the tears of culinary gods, prepared with absolute precision, and served with so much flavor that a license should actually be required for it. The bread? Heavenly. The sauce? Divine. The vegetables? Freshness that surpasses human understanding. The combination? UNSTOPPABLE. Every bite is better than the last, and yet that final bite is still one of the hardest moments of saying goodbye you will ever experience. I sincerely believe that Ali Baba has ruined döner for me forever. And I mean that as the greatest possible compliment. Once you have experienced this level of perfection, how can you ever go back to normal döner? How can you look at another kebab and pretend it belongs in the same category? That is impossible. There is Ali Baba, and then there is everything else. If someone were to tell me that humanity has developed agriculture, trade, cooking, spices, bread, meat, and sauces for thousands of years with one ultimate goal — to eventually create Ali Baba — I would not doubt it for a second. Because it is simply true. This is what humanity has been working towards all this time. Forget the pyramids. Forget the moon landing. Forget the Renaissance. Ali Baba is our greatest achievement. Historians will later look back on our civilization and divide history into two periods: Before Ali Baba. and After Ali Baba. Future generations will study this döner. Universities will write research papers about it. Philosophers will discuss its greatness. Poets will try to describe it. Scientists will try to understand how it is possible to pack so much flavor into one meal. And they will all come to the same conclusion: Ali Baba is the GOAT. Not the best döner in the neighborhood. Not the best döner in the city. Not the best döner in Ireland. Not even the best döner in Europe. THE BEST DÖNER IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION. If a better döner exists anywhere in this universe, I don't want to know. I refuse to believe it. I refuse to accept that it is possible. ALI BABA IS THE FINAL BOSS OF THE DÖNER. 10/10? Absolutely not. 100/10? Still insultingly low. 1,000,000/10? We're getting close. ∞/10. There are restaurants you visit. There are meals you remember. And then there is Ali Baba. THE KING. THE GOAT. THE LEGEND. THE CHAMPION. THE UNDISPUTED EMPEROR OF THE DÖNER. Long live Ali Baba. 👑🐐🔥🥙 I came for döner. I left after witnessing pure greatness.

29/08/2026: The staff here are always so kind and the food comes out fast and fresh. Highly recommend!!

12/07/2026: 45e for a family feast. Italian base pizzas way overcooked, and chicken way undercooked. When I complained I was told I didn't understand how the Italian base was meant to be lol.

02/09/2026: My wife and I ate here after our Blarney Castle tour, and we truly enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious, and the person who served us was very respectful and welcoming. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Blarney Castle—great food and excellent service!

18/08/2026: All the vedgtables are like slop onion rings are vile,crispy shredded chicken was good just mushy

23/09/2026: Went with my girlfriend despite the poor reviews. Even the one star reviews do this place justice. Both myself and my girlfriend were sick afterwards. The chips were oven chips at best, steak was clearly airfried and black despite me asking for medium rare. Neither myself and her are picky eaters but to get a shockingly poor steak, garlic bread with an Easi Single on it, oven chips and to be sick afterwards wasn't worth the meal, even if it was free. Chicken wings were decent to be fair. I'd say they're getting their food from Tesco down the road but even at that I'd cook Tesco food better myself.

22/09/2026: This used to be top class, but the revamp, IMHO, should not have been done. Yes they serve food, but it is far from a meal. My partner and I used to, every time we passed, dropped in for a meal, however, it is not worth the visit. Secondly, AVOCA is operating parking at over €4 per hour. Even in prime location in Dublin city centre, parking is less expensive. Not only is this place a waste of time, the play the same con as 'pub bites' laced with spices so one drinks more. This place is now a con to be avoided.

17/08/2026: Customer service needs improving. I ordered 2 McFlurrys using the kiosk. I was not able to get a receipt. Then I had to wait and wait for 2 mcflurrys as people who ordered behind me get theirs. I ask about my order and the gentleman tells me it is coming. 2 minutes later he ask me what my order # is and magically my mcflurrys are done and nice and runny!

16/08/2026: Sockets have no electricity and toilets are not in good condition.

24/10/2026: The emergency exit door was all blocked!! Please do something about it, that’s extremely dangerous.

11/09/2025: An excellent option for those looking for good food. Great service, highly recommended. Pleasant and very clean environment.

07/09/2025: I’ve been to Golden Bites today, the new shop on Washington Street, with my young son. We were warmly welcomed, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and aesthetically nice. However, I do have some concerns. When placing my order, I made it very clear that my cappuccino should be made with oat milk (for health reasons I cannot consume dairy). Unfortunately, I received a cappuccino with regular milk. I didn’t complain at the time because I’m not the type of person who likes to create conflict at an establishment, but I mentioned twice at the counter that it should be with oat milk. Another point: I’m not sure if I was charged for two portions of grilled buttered bread since I received four slices, but I only ordered one portion, which I believe should be two slices. I also wasn’t given a receipt, so I couldn’t verify the charge. Once again, the environment is very pleasant, and the staff was kind and attentive. However, we have already experienced issues with delivery orders in the past — missing items, wrong orders, etc. I expected that visiting in person would be different, but unfortunately, the same kind of issues happened. This makes it a little difficult to want to return. I truly hope this is just something temporary due to the new location
