The best restaurants in Dublin

25/09/2026: Security at door wouldn’t let us in to get food at the start I feel very attacked and discriminated against because I am a child we explained we were getting food but he wouldn’t let us in together only one at a time to prove we were ordering he allowed other people to come in and didn’t stop them this is a terrible experience

14/09/2026: Nice McDonald's. Convenient drive-thru available.

01/10/2026: Food was fast as was the service. Nice and clean too.

23/09/2026: Bathroom was closed and i had a long distance to travel! (42km) . They never made any move to help me in my issue. And in pain i had to hold the need to go to the toilet. Ok its 3am but thats not good enough!!! Some people have 00s all night and need the toilet. But according to your own staff "ITS CLOSED". No accomadation was made!! I certainly wont be back!!

14/09/2026: Best spice bag in the area. Definitely worth trying.

11/09/2026: Have ordered 3 times in the past few months and every time the order took over two hours to be delivered. Have given up and won’t order from them again.

04/09/2026: Very accessible price points, great quality and daily diversity of meal options. Staff are always very friendly and smiley.

06/08/2026: The last three meals I've gotten from them have been utterly flavourless. Today's "ramen" had two spoonfuls of broth that was barely even visible around the noodle and lacked any richness. I couldn't even finish the last two meals they were so bland.

12/09/2026: Staff are not helpful They don’t respect people with other languages but English They don’t provide food on time Need to be sacked

12/09/2026: the staff is really lazy they just wasting time

16/03/2026: Had my TY ball here and was absolutely pumped to go since the tickets were €60, me and my friends are expecting a decent time. We arrive at the nightclub, go onto the dance floor, excited because we were one of the first ones on. It was sticky! Not that there was much to dance to anyway because the DJ had no notion of how to use his set up. Remxing "Call me maybe" with house techno (along with many other terrible remixes 😭) I mean c'mon now. Don't even get me started on the bathrooms, flithy, sticky, forgot I was in a club and not a gas station. The only decent part about everything was the food but other than that, I recommend that you don't go here 🥹✌️

31/08/2026: Best I've ate at in a long time Highly recommended

18/08/2026: BEST FOOD IN THE WHOLE WILD WORLD

13/09/2026: The staff is unable to make a simple coffee or cappuccino. I’m not used to write bad reviews but it is happening all the time.

07/09/2026: Dear Insomnia Carpenterstown Team, I would like to take a moment to share how happy I am with the service at your Carpenterstown café. I am a regular customer and I am always so impressed by how friendly, kind and welcoming all the girls are. The café is always clean, tidy and beautifully looked after, which makes every visit a real pleasure. I usually come with my children, and I honestly feel that the half an hour we spend together there, surrounded by such lovely staff and a warm atmosphere, is my little daily moment of relaxation. Having my coffee every day in such a wonderful place has become something I genuinely look forward to. I would especially like to mention one wonderful member of your team, Aneta. She is always smiling, incredibly friendly and helpful, and she makes every visit even more enjoyable. Her kindness and positive attitude really make a difference. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a lovely atmosphere and for always making us feel welcome. You are doing a fantastic job, and I just wanted you to know how much it is appreciated. Warmest regards, Alicja

28/06/2026: Only giving 2 stars because my favourite staff have all left 😒My work colleagues and I have been getting our coffee from here every weekday. The draw is actually the friendly barista staff, Sam, Franco, Abbie, Karl and there is another tall lad but I cannot remember his name . They are always polite and friendly . We still miss Sean though

17/06/2026: Lava coffe is the best you can get dark roast or mild. They are in most Applegreen garages its part of our moving ritual.

28/05/2026: Hi, a person of 68yrs who has been a great supporter of Captain Americas through the years. Back in late 70's ,was nurse training in local area, 10 in the group & would have regularly gone for dinner in restaurant. After that ,visited often,when in Dublin cityh. My family would also have been regulars. My youngest Son, insisted on a visit with us ,before he emigrated to Canada on 2017. Captain Americas has been a big part of my life for many years. A lot of good memories. Sad to see it go, but hope new enterprise will be as good.

14/05/2026: We were lost, not knowing where to eat; it was after 3:00 PM. And yes, without any problem, they served us a delicious meal: a beef stew and a lamb stew. Thank you for your attention. May 12, 2026

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.

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!

13/09/2026: It’s filthy, got a McFlurry and they gave me a fork. It’s crazy how this franchisee is allowed to keep it.

12/09/2026: Has to be the slowest mcdonalds I have ever been to.

23/03/2026: Had been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally got around to it after a trip. Ordered a couple of starters, two mains, rice and naan - everything was super tasty. The website is really easy to use and gives great info. They even called after the order to let me know one dish wasn’t available and suggested a replacement - which ended up being delicious! The kids loved it, we loved it - definitely hit the spot. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Indian food 🙌

15/02/2026: Sadly, after having been happy customers of Spice Guru for almost 10 years, we have decided that we won't be ordering from them ever again. We have noticed a visible decay in quality in the last 4 orders delivered to us. Reviews of other customers seemed to back up our opinions. Tonight we decided to give it a last try but the food was the worst we ever got. We must have ordered Dal Tadka 50 times and it has never been so liquid, watered down, like it had not been fully cooked. Extremely disappointing. The cheese of the saag paneer tasted a bit acid and the vegetable pakora tasted stale.

18/09/2026: We went to see the odyssey in the I max what a spectacular experience

15/09/2026: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Very disappointing experience at Cineworld Dublin. On August 2, 2026, my family and I went to see Spider-Man in 4DX 3D. We weren’t given 3D glasses since they downgraded the movie to 2D, and staff told us not to worry—they would refund the cost of the glasses after the movie since I paid for 6 glasses. After the film, we were sent to the customer service desk, where we were told the glasses would be refunded automatically and that we’d also receive complimentary movie tickets for the inconvenience. None of that happened. We spent well over 100 euros on the tickets and the food and drinks. The cinema itself was also in poor condition. There was a strong smell of urine, the carpets were sticky and visibly dirty, and the seats didn’t feel clean either. I emailed on August 4, contacted Cineworld on X and was told to use their website, emailed again on August 14, and followed up again on September 8. After more than a month, I’ve received little more than generic responses and still no resolution. Mistakes happen. What makes this a one-star experience is promising to fix the problem, then ignoring repeated attempts to resolve it. I hope management addresses both the cleanliness of the cinema and how customer complaints are handled.

19/03/2026: The rudest girl server I ever met. Asked me if I wanted room for milk - I said yes. Then when she served the coffee - it was filled to the top. I asked her could I trow a little bit out in their sink and add some milk and she sighed and looked at me as if I had just killed her family. Horrible.

01/03/2026: A souless spot. No gluten free bakes. Good if you've a book with you.
