The best restaurants in Dublin

03/02/2026: Lovely food and priced well. One of my favourite chippers

09/01/2026: I was in at 2o'clock today a man came in behind me walked up to the counter and got served. Left me standing there like a mupet. Obviously don't need the business. Can't say wat the food was like , didn't get any. Service was appalling. Atmosphere was bad. Won't go there again, even if it was free.

21/10/2025: Closed 6 mins early when I was rushing for a coffee not happy two workers told me it was closed when it clearly states it stays open till 6 !!!

16/07/2025: If it is good strong coffee you are after. This is the place for you.

27/10/2025: If you’re looking for authentic Indian food in the priory market, this is garbage. We assumed we were going to get the food truck experience and was thoroughly disappointed. It’s completely watered down food for the Irish palette which I understand. But, please warn the rest of us. You need a different page for the food truck vs the one at the market. Misleading!!

09/10/2025: Food in outdoor stalls and food in Tallaght has day night difference.was in tallaght today food wasn’t good. I would advise to bring your hammer and chisel to eat food as wooden fork in no use Couldn’t break through samosa with it.

18/01/2026: Had one of the best experiences of desi cuisine in Dublin. Thanks to Sowra who helped me have the dishes to suit the weather and keep me relaxed at the same time. The dahi samosa chat is a must try and the daal tadka too! Shoutout to the team for hosting us. Keep it up guys!

18/01/2026: Extremely disappointing experience. As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, there was a very unpleasant smell at the entrance, which already raised concerns about cleanliness, especially the bathrooms. We had a reservation for 1:00 PM, but once upstairs we were told the restaurant only opened at 1:30 PM, which made no sense. To make things worse, when we tried to order drinks, we were informed that drinks would only be available at 3:30 PM. This was not communicated anywhere in advance. This visit was meant to celebrate a special occasion — a birthday — and the lack of organization, poor communication, and overall unprofessionalism completely ruined the experience. Very frustrating, and unfortunately not a place we would recommend.

08/03/2026: The fish is not fresh. Its precooked, awful. It doesn't come with lemon or tartar

23/01/2026: Fresh great quality fish and chips, lovely place

27/10/2025: Not currently open, doors bordered up

26/10/2025: Arrived here yesterday after a 6km walk and expecting to have a lovely breakfast but to my utter disappointment it was closed. Looks like it may be permanently closed as the door was boarded up.

25/03/2026: The shop has heating, but it's not on. The reason given is that the heating is broken and hasn't been fixed yet, and it seems they don't plan to fix it until the weather gets warmer. The kid collecting money at the door also seems indifferent.

12/02/2026: FOUND STAPLES IN OUR FOOD!!! BE CAREFUL IF YOU ORDER FROM HERE. Myself and my mother have been ordering from New Empire for years, always getting the same dish, Curry, egg fried rice, chips, diced chicken and tofu and have always enjoyed it until the event as of writing happened 20 minutes ago. Like normal we ordered our usual and had begun to eat, however 2 minutes after platting the food my mother eating the rice suddenly stopped, I asked what was wrong and she pulled a STAPLE from her mouth!, we were both shocked at how this happened, and in the same moment spat out a SECOND STAPLE! At this point we rang new empire about the issue, however no matter how many times we explained on the phone they couldn't grasp the concept that my mother nearly swallowed a staple and would have ended in A&E. With our attempts to talk to management left futile we both reluctanty tried to eat the Chinese again, we both agreed that this would be the last ordering from here. After three minutes of caution I myself felt something sharp on my tongue, like my mother I pulled a third staple from my mouth. THATS THREE USED STAPLES IN ONE RICE DISH WITH GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MORE. That's when we both agreed we're done all together. It pains me to write this review as I hate leaving negative comments, however this is completely unacceptable. I have photographs of the staples however it seems I can't attach the image, If this ever becomes possible I will gladly do so. If empire would like to talk about this my phone number would be on the file after I rang to complain about this.

08/02/2026: Bingo loco, is completely worth it.

03/02/2026: Shame on you's allowing 15 year olds into your club. You guys should be shut down ASAP. And never to allowed to run any Pub or club again. Poor management company

01/03/2026: The food was delicious and very warm. The service was polite.

05/02/2026: Extremely friendly staff, tasty food and a fair price!

17/06/2025: Poor customer service , and the worstest boba a ever tried .

16/05/2025: Pho to be honest here has been very nice, but for me overall the menu prices have been inconsistent at the till, recently got taro bubble tea and the milk tasted so thick as if it came out of a can. This placed used to have good value bubble tea but this was just disappointing, regardless of what I suspect I was overcharged. Prices needs to be as listed on the menu! Music is always a too loud here but maybe that’s just what people like. The karaoke upstairs NEEDS better soundproofing. Come for noodles, they are fresh and good. Just watch the total and don’t get bubble tea.

26/09/2025: Always a beautiful sandwich- very popular place in the office & great staff

21/08/2025: Outstanding service makes all the difference.

19/02/2026: Best vegetarian wrap! Love the coffee and the service. Good soups and pastries 😊

23/12/2025: Opening times published on website are incorrect. Does not open until after 8am

27/01/2026: Probably the best overall take away I've had in years. Don't get all the negative comments. Rang for delivery and it was at my door in 13 mins. I was shocked. I got the super meal. Absolutely unreal. Well done guys

17/01/2026: Delicious Chicken Fillet Burgers

10/12/2025: Griffith College – Psychology Bachelor’s Degree Review I joined Griffith College thinking I’d be getting a solid Psychology degree. Shoutout to the few lecturers who actually showed up for their students — you were the only thing keeping this place from being a total flop. The rest? Absolute chaos. The departments don’t talk to each other, so every tiny issue turns into a full-blown scavenger hunt. Wanna know your assignment results? Be prepared to chase five different offices. Can’t log into Zoom? Same circus. My personal breaking point was the tuition fees. First, I was told €8K. Then it was suddenly €4K. Then they emailed me a random Excel screenshot like, “here ya go.” When I asked for clarification, I got the iconic line: “It’s provided in the screenshot?” (aka: “Can you read?”). Professionalism who So I went full detective mode emailing other colleges, researching transfers, stressing myself out… only to find out the actual tuition I owed was €255. Yup. Two hundred and fifty-five euros. Because when I switched from full-time to part-time, I had already paid for those modules last year. Meaning all the chaos, stress, and wasted time? Completely unnecessary. They could’ve just told me that from the start. Instead, they let me spiral while sending me Excel screenshots like they were serving Michelin-star information. If you enjoy unhelpful replies, endless email loops, and numbers that change more than Irish weather, Griffith is the place for you.

09/12/2025: Imagine charging more then 10 grand to stay there and you stop people from staying over past 10 o'clock your dorm should be able to do what you want with it

31/03/2026: The staff are very friendly and the food is very good

22/02/2026: Beautiful Concert Hall with great acoustics. Tickets very affordable. Goos central location in the city. Great concerts.
