The best restaurants in Dublin

30/01/2026: First time getting Ly in a few years. It use to be massive but the spice bags are flavourless now, just 90% onions no garlic like it use to. The fried noodles tasted just like pepper and the only thing that was decent was the curry sauce. Plus you miss the 2 Jess’s. Place was flat

28/01/2026: One of the best spice bags you can get around Dublin.

08/08/2026: Amazing food. The rice was nice and fluffy

27/07/2026: Staff in the restaurant are rude and want you to leave as quick as you arrive. I asked where the fish were gone as they weren’t in the tank and the lady snapped that I wasn’t allowed to sit beside the tank even though I wasn’t asking that. They took my daughter’s food away while she was eating it. Egg fried rice was just overcooked rice and egg mixed together. Horrible. My daughter stood up and a staff member came over to tell her to sit back down. This was a Monday night in Lucan so not exactly busy. We won’t be returning. There is nothing welcoming about this place. It’s like being an unwanted guest in someone’s house who is paranoid you’ll steal the cutlery so they clear it while you’re still using it and make you want to leave asap.

25/09/2026: Yesterday, I went to your Liffey Street branch with my friends after college, and honestly, it was quite disappointing. The staff were very rude when we asked if we could get fresh chicken instead of the double-fried one. We were simply told, “You can have a refund, we have what we have.” I understand that things can get busy, but the way it was handled was not nice at all. We also ordered the €22 deal. The burgers were very small, and the chicken was extremely oily and lacked flavour. Running a restaurant is not just about social media marketing. Food quality, taste, portion size and, most importantly, customer service matter just as much.

23/09/2026: Chicken has feather and smell like shit

24/08/2026: Lovely for drinks but adding more vegan food-items would be great 😊

12/07/2026: Fine when judged by Irish hospitality standards, but just so hard to defend paying €44 for two bang average burgers that first had the bacon undercooked and second was missing an “Asian” slaw. What made it Asian was the inclusion of coriander 🤩😧, wow. Our waitress was nice but I’d only be returning if forced to.

30/08/2026: An excellent pub with great character and history.

09/07/2026: This pub is being ran into the ground by the SON of the joint/co owner. to many staff behind a small bar falling over each other and even the SON has tripped his father up several times who is in his 80's, he runs around like a headless chicken, always seems to be panicking, after talking to my niece who drank there in the past and her conversations with bar staff and regulars over the years it's believed he the SON may be BI PILOR, staff never stay for long, bar 1 lad Luke, so obviously he's a yes man, he then asks why staff are leaving 2 go 2 a local bar he won't accept the reasons of not only his ignorance towards patrons but staff alike, he won't speak to them in privacy he makes a holy show of them in front of the whole pub, and asks why they are leaving, one former staff member now works in delaneys around the corner well there's actually 2 but this 1 young lad was serving my niece around the whole Covid after covid time and she requested she and her boyfriend have 2 drinks from the same glasses, so the young gent proceeded to pull the pints and the BALD GLASSES WEARING SON actually slapped the drinks from the lads hand, my niece is a manager in booths and told the SON, she requested the drinks in such way and the fact he was out of order and rude and obnoxious and dog ignorant, the young lad gave them there drinks and my niece told him DO NOT LET HIM the SON do that to you or anyone, most of the bad comments on here are all related to the SON who is clearly running the pub into the ground with his rude and panicking ways and shocking attitude, patrons and staff alike say he has a lot of family problems, we'll like all professionals you must leave you're problems at home or at worst the front door, he's a walking heart attack waiting to happen, it's a hard one for TOMMY an absolute gent of a man, a dieing breed sadly to have to say to his son change you're ways or leave, but he has to do something and soon he won't always be around sadly. the son is a failed prison officer didn't last long in the job, and we see why, he's still friends with them all do as they go in for sneaky pints from 10AM Onwards as do some local pi$$ heads needing a curior as we used to call it, how this man has not gotten a slap is beyond belief, staff former and present and likewise patrons can't all be wrong TOMMY AND CO OWNER'S , please sort him out or sack him and get in a real bar manager, not someone who thinks they own the place and is invincible like ROCKY why have a review spot if you the manager/co owners are not going to publish it, seems you're not able f9r constructive criticism

12/09/2026: I highly recommend San Marino. Always a good food and very fresh. I love the kebab tray mix meat. 🔥🔥💚

19/07/2026: I ordered over the phone, and it took about 7 minutes just to place my order. Even though I live close by, it still took over an hour for the food to be delivered. When it arrived, my milkshake was missing. I ordered a doner kebab wrap and chips. I asked for salt and vinegar on the chips, but there wasn't any. The chips were only lukewarm, very greasy, all stuck together, and the bag was only about half full. The doner wrap was the worst part. The meat tasted like cheap frozen doner that had been reheated, and it had a strange taste that reminded me of plastic cheese or something similar. Halfway through eating it, I started feeling sick and had to stop. I ended up taking an anti-sickness tablet because I felt so unwell. I've ordered takeaways for years and haven't felt sick after eating one in a very long time. Overall, this was the worst €17 I've ever spent. Between the hour-long wait, the missing milkshake, the poor food quality, and the customer service, I won't be ordering from here again. Based on my experience, I can only give it 1 star.

12/09/2026: To start off the receptionist was very rude. Very bad customer service. Hung up the phone on us just for wondering how long our food will take , again very bad customer service

22/08/2026: Don’t bother ordering for collection and thinking it’s going to be ready when you get there order was placed 40 minutes before getting there and had to wait outside for another 35 minutes to receive my order for collection food must have been sitting there the whole time was stone cold when I got it. People going in and ordering received there orders faster then me!!! Used to be brilliant food and service . Won’t be going here for my Chinese’s anymore

06/09/2026: I drove here for a midnight McDonald’s as one does, and even though online it is advertising to be open 24 hours it was not. If u want a midnight snack don’t trust the opening hours here. Very disappointing 1 star

06/09/2026: Wait 40 minutes for a Big mac, a potato, and a Walterto be ready.

11/09/2026: Food was 15mins late so I said it to the young’s in girl at the counter and her immediate reply was “that’s not my problem “. Say no more.

30/07/2026: Great service, the small girl at the counter was lovely and gave great assistance making my day

03/08/2026: Found a hair in my food. Very unhygienic and disappointing.Food was not fresh.

24/07/2026: I got a kebab and it was tasting very nice. I would recommend it

17/08/2026: Paid full price for half a bowl, have had hundreds of Boojums over the year. Never got skimpier servings than yesterday. Prices keep going up, quantity of food keeps going down.

13/08/2026: Always great burrito. Lost an overall star cause the pricing have skyrocketed. 30 euro for 2 burritos and 2 drinks. Madness.

29/08/2026: We had the best spice bag we’ve ever had😍 Absolutely loved Dragon Boat! The food was delicious and full of flavour. Definitely a place we’d come back to 🫶🏼

24/04/2026: i decided to try the takeaway because the cafe is decent. part of my order was 2 bags of chips. they both were less than 1 single from cinellies . i actually fit a single of chips on a sandwich not cheap either . i wont be ordering again
