The best restaurants in Dublin

04/10/2025: I had a very disappointing experience at this coffee shop. I went there with my mom and bought coffee and food. After we sat down, a staff member (apparently the manager) came over and very rudely told us to move to the other side of the café — with no explanation or basic courtesy. I had to carry all our food and drinks and help my elderly mom move, which was extremely inconvenient and disrespectful. Honestly, I didn’t even want to mention this, but I also noticed a fly sitting on the muffins inside the display cabinet. That completely put me off eating anything else. Between the poor hygiene and the unprofessional behaviour of the staff, I’m really disappointed. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for good service or cleanliness.

21/09/2025: Very bad experience. I waited so long for my coffee while others were served before me. The staff were busy talking to each other instead of paying attention to customers. When I finally got my order, the coffee itself was disappointing. Poor service and poor quality.

18/10/2025: Not a real doner. Meat, chips, lettuce, that's it.

20/09/2025: I got a kebab in this place, got a taxi to Sandyford and I want to get a taxi all the way back there for another kebab. I own a mexican restaurant in Spain that has a 4.9 on Google and quite frankly I'm jealous on the food in this place. I need to go back here again and confirm how tasty it really is!

14/10/2025: I bought sweets from Bad Nawal Restaurant for €9, and they were a total waste. The sweets looked old and tasted bad. Please don’t waste your time and money here!

13/10/2025: We had a very bad experience eating at this place. The food was tasteless and not fresh. It is worst restaurant in Dublin. Never recommend to eat there.

14/04/2025: Great food, prepared exactly as requested, very friendly staff in the shop and fast delivery by lovely drivers. Very happy. Would highly recommend.

27/03/2025: Possibly the worst pizza in Dublin

18/08/2025: Coffee was expensive and barely warm, it's happened a few times now. Won't be going back

03/08/2025: Great coffee. We had the almond croissant, a bit to full with cream that was light on the almond. However, 17€ for 2 lattes and 2 almond croissants.... Ouch

20/07/2025: Maravillosa comida y batidos. Tostadas Francesas y tocino delicioso. Un poco de entrenamiento de camareros mejoraría las cosas. Uno de los nuestros era un poco despistado - tuvo que pedir dos veces por todo. El gerente era excelente - se encargó de un servicio de almuerzo muy ocupado con aplomo. Volveré seguro. Es un lugar encantador y si no estás en una carrera loca funciona. Barrista se toma su tiempo para hacer un gran café, también pero en el buen sentido con cuidado.

18/06/2025: Corner cafe the girl serving so rude .I definitely won't be back

22/08/2025: I ordered a munchy box, it arrived late and everything tasted good and crispy, but it was almost impossible to eat anything because some amateur poured 4 kilos of salt on everything... and almost everything had to be thrown away

26/06/2025: who are use charging 6 euro for a 7 minute delivery

10/09/2025: Genuinely the best donuts in Dublin and great value for money! Frankie is a superstar ✨

01/09/2025: Them prices are wild. Out of control for a bloody donut. Please go outside and touch grass

16/09/2025: Let me pre order my food for 4:45 and then rang when late found out delivery not till 5 and food wont be available till 5:30 disgraceful

16/09/2025: Excellent takeaway, friendly staff, good food. Worth a visit.

11/05/2025: No reason, not allowed to answer with a group of 13

06/05/2025: It's a pretty good place, just small so if it gets busy which due to its location it does can be a bit much for some people, was showing the football and also had live music so yeah there's a bit of everything.

03/09/2025: I would rather eat grass outside Brentwood Coffee than stepping foot inside it.

18/07/2025: I came in to see two staff members working, and besides my order, there was only one other customer seated. Despite the light foot traffic, I waited over 10 minutes for just two coffees. Unfortunately, the wait wasn’t worth it — the coffees were extremely weak and lacked any real coffee flavor. If you’re someone who enjoys a strong, well-balanced brew, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

26/10/2025: Good food, the dinner chicken meal is good value for money.

10/08/2025: Twice now I have ordered food from here and clearly left a comment in order notes to have my kebab completely plain due to severe allergies and the wrong order has arrived twice will not be ordering from here again

04/09/2025: The food was amazing! The pitas were overflowing with delicious protein, salad, and sauces. The taste was great! Can't wait to go back

30/08/2025: The food is not so good, not testy service was good enough, the bathroom is so bad, not sanitarian at all, shawarma was bad, burger is better, kids meal is good, all meat and chicken is halal

18/09/2025: They demand that the students carefully prepare every assignment and are always punctual and up to code yet : - they cannot answer a phone ( you should be so lucky to get past reception) - they cannot get their ducks in order regarding student fees ( I told them in year 1 that the balance outstanding wasn’t updated after early registration and after tons of emails they just tripled the amount owed until finally somebody apt had a look and rectified the issue) - they are poor communicators and complicated answers when a simple yes or no was required. - they locked me out of moodle and themis over some made up fee that they later credited- no apology whatsoever -they were yet to send me an invite to register for following year with hours until the new semester started. - they will happily take your money, bombard you with surveys that lead to no change and I feel like it is always somebody else’s job to look after the students. - some teachers have no business being in front of a class and the faculty ignores constant complaints from the students ( I personally know a good few people that are unhappy with certain teachers yet nothing is done) I would probably avoid recommending this college to my peers going forward.

29/08/2025: 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.

20/10/2025: Honestly , chips were cold , the chicken was tasteless the barbecue sauce ??? I don’t know what that was but definitely not BBQ, everything was so off .. I’m so disappointed, it used to be a great place , the spicy bag NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

21/09/2025: Dirt! Got a spice bag, chips had no seasoning, soggy and under cooked. Chicken again no seasoning, dry and pink in the middle... I'll never eat here again
