The best restaurants in Dublin

03/12/2025: 2025: Visited on a drizzly day - coffee hot, atmosphere cozy, great seats at the back just to rest. Fabulously friendly staff again. A joy to visit 🙌 2024: Stopped in for a shopping break and had a fab time watching the world go by with one of the locals, who was also having a shopping break - lovely chat, tasty coffee, and friendly staff 🙌

20/11/2025: Unfortunately, the toilet in this branch is extremely dirty and smelly, and it is constantly being closed due to “maintenance issues.” Why has this problem not been resolved for months? When I asked the staff member today why the toilet has been out of order for so long, he simply said, “I told you the toilet is closed today,” without answering any of my questions. He then started talking to his colleague in a way that felt like he was mocking me. Another staff member thankfully tried to speak to me properly, but the behaviour of the first gentleman was really disrespectful. On another day, I told the same staff member that the inside was very stuffy and asked whether the ventilation was working. He didn’t even respond, he just gave a fake smile and then walked away to serve another customer. I also asked if they could at least keep the door open for five minutes to let some air in, as there was absolutely no ventilation. He just said, “We can’t keep it open,” and returned to his work. It is honestly very disappointing to see such a lack of care and hygiene in a Starbucks branch located right in the centre of Dublin. Perhaps this is exactly why Starbucks struggles to achieve the same level of success in Dublin compared to other countries after all, success doesn’t happen by accident; it requires effort.

10/10/2025: Over hour &15 mins delivery food cold &gull of grease uneatable never get food from here again

06/06/2025: 2 bad experiences with this company. First time I ordered the delivery driver rang to say they were outside went out and no one was there. I rang them back they said they think they were in the wrong estate. That they would be another 2 mins. 20 mins later still no sign of food. Rang the shop the delivery driver answered and said they were putting fresh food on. Happy days. Another 20 mins later the food arrives and it was just reheated crap. Rang them after they said they were replacing the whole meal but when we rang back they said they only replaced the chips which weren’t fresh. Decided to try again rang them and got through to a Chinese woman with very very little English. Who could not understand the address which I spelled out and still couldn’t get it. or what I was ordering. (Kebab meal and garlic cheese chips) nothing too difficult. Just before she hung up the phone she gave out about me to her colleague. Maybe have someone fluent in English to answer the phones will not order again

20/08/2025: 20/08/25 Undercooked Portion of sausage, top part was hot and bottom not even Luke warm. 🧐

20/05/2025: Ordered sunday evening 10 oclock roughly This place gave me food poisoning I have been vomiting the last 24 hours. Would avoid this chinese because i have never been so sick in years

30/10/2025: Disappointed went in got a family box and a battered burger everything was reheats and cold when got home 2mins away. Spent 29euro on something that was very bad it actually made me unwell and vomit. If you have no hot fresh food to give out please don't people's money are being wasted. Lovely people my son got a milkshake and they gave a lollipop but the food really is as not good. Family box doesn't come with a lot of chips and still it was not ate. The photo is the finished food what a waste :(

13/10/2025: What a sad way to end the day! Firstly, everything is evidently pre fried- so expect it all soggy! This is our first experience having Irish curry fries, and I hope to god this is not a good representation! Chips were seemingly heated in the microwave from frozen. Really really terrible food I’m upset

16/11/2025: This place has been consistently excellent for myself and everyone I've recommended it to. The curries are beautiful and if you're unsure what to order, the staff are more than accommodating to help you. The waiting time for delivery is always quick. I must also mention all the chicken is proper fresh breast meat. Also the portions aren't left short. Can't recommend enough.

26/10/2025: Got chicken tikka biryani, meat samosa, schicken tikka roll and the only dessert they serve which is shrikhand Let's start with the positive - the complimentary onion and pea gravy/sauce which comes with the biriyani. END Samosa? I expected it to have some flavour, the mince was boiled and tasted bland. Tikka biryani - sloppy mess. Fried rice with old tough chicken marinated in more food colour than actual spices, the rice was consistency was wet. And it had peppers. You unalived biriyani more than once. Please revisit the recipe and don't serve people shit food as they are paying for it Shrikhand - was far from what any shrikhand I have ever tasted. Had a metallic after taste. Who knows if it was even fresh, but barely passable. The food is horrible, I think it's meant to sayosfy white people pallets, ifykyk. But far from being appreciated and satisfied from this experience. Hope the owner reads this and reconsiders the quality of food produced

30/09/2025: Food never came rang about 20 times

31/08/2025: Only new to area ordered a snack box the chicken was terrible must of been yesterday's couldn't eat it when rang back was told it was fresh

06/10/2025: weird old men ruined the night. Small think bathrooms. Better off going to house

07/09/2025: Absolute ball in leggs delighted it's back open...danced our socks off much better than the dive next door cos friendly bouncers...Good music, good wine....ball❤️

17/10/2025: Very suspicious driver. Made order on Uber Eats for pizza as surprise for the kids, paid online because there is no option for cash, so order would not have been made - nevermind delivered otherwise and driver is aware of this. Bell rang, I sent my 15 year old son down to the door. He was down there ages and I heard him asking my son loads of questions. Came up with the pizza, I looked out the window 5 minutes later and the driver was still parked outside my door. A few minutes passes and the doorbell goes again, I asked my son to pick up the mic and see what he wanted. Driver says to my son can you come back down the pizza isn't paid for. My son says it was, he says again you need to come back down the food isn't paid for. The word PAID in big capital letters is written on the sticker of the pizza box, right beside the order that he read back word for word to my child as I was listening, so he clearly knew it was paid for. I thought this was very suspicious, almost like he thought my child was home alone and tried to have him reopen the door for whatever reason. Why sit outside in the car for ages and then come back to say it wasn't paid, (even though it was), if it wasn't surely he would have said it to him before handing the food over. As I said they do not have the option to pay cash on Uber Eats, it's card only. Rang the shop, the first person said sorry about that we see that you've paid and they would contact the driver, second time I rang to make a complaint they couldn't care less. Be very careful of letting your kids order from here if they are home alone. If I wasn't here I dread to think what would have happened. Very scary experience.

17/10/2025: this is my favourite takeaway pizza in dun laoghaire it’s excellent, never disappoints.

16/10/2025: Small bag of chips although nice smaller than other chippers

21/09/2025: Rang to order as they had no option for big bottles of drink on the app. Guy on the phone hardly spoke English. Very hard to explain why I was calling instead of ordering online like I usually do. Donar kebab had Frank's hot sauce on it which I hate. The smoked cod had barley any fish and the batter wasn't crispy it was soggy and disgusting. The taco chips had mushrooms and big chunks of onion which my son hates and wouldn't eat, dunno why you'd put mushrooms and onion in a taco chip. Finally, disappointed the garlic sauce has changed, was my favourite garlic mayo in clondalkin. Sorry to say I won't be ordering here again.

09/10/2025: Top service from the manager Sal and the team. Food was great too

06/10/2025: After a long day of travel from the UK I wanted something "fresh", Brambles didn't disappoint. Veggie quiche, with carrot salad and morrocan couscous salad with a latte was my choice. Great that the salads weren't smothered in dressing, plain just as I like them. Using a walking aid I was wondering how to get to a table. No problem my tray was carried to an empty & clean table without any asking. The quiche was warm and with the cold salads plus green leaves was just the fresh hit I needed. The latte was still hot when I'd finished eating, bonus. I'd definitely walk up there again, just for the food and service.

14/12/2025: Sold me a fake ps5 controller today and told me it was genuine There's a big delay between the input and what happens on screen Basically unplayable Thanks 👍

07/10/2025: I bought a charger which didn’t work with my plug. I went to return it the next day, bringing the plug with me. The man tried charging himself and could see very well that it wouldn’t work. Instead of offering a refund or replacement, he just shouted at me. Definitely will not be going again

10/10/2025: Very sad welcome by the host lady. Food even worse. Not recommended!

10/10/2025: Normally above average place to go and sit for lunch. Never had a complaint about Noah & Co. But today, we were left waiting for 30 minutes for a simple lunch order. We asked one of the waiting staff (about 20 mons after taking our seats) - how long it would be as we were waitng a considerable amount of time. He went to the kitchen to ask. He arrived back and told us - about 3 to 4 minutes. Over 10 minutes later we were still waiting and at this point we decided to leave, anyway, coffees were stone cold at this time. A mangaer approached us, I said we were leaving, due to the unacceptable wait time. At this point he stated - I'm really sorry, we only have one chef on today. TOTALLY unacceptable. If this was the case they should have been transparent about this from the start. We would never have taken a table. Coffees were complimentary....... Will consider not coming back, to be treated like imbeciles .......

17/11/2025: Very good take-away vegan pizza, recommended.

09/11/2025: The best pizza shop ever food is always fresh & so tasty

27/10/2025: Do not eat here. Food is terrible, overpriced and flavourless. Staff are lovely but the food ruined the whole place. The steak tasted like leather and was not worth €37.

27/10/2025: Lovely staff but oh my gosh the food is dreadful! I’ve just been served a bowl of bland, gloopy white sauce peppered with tiny bits of unidentifiable fish, masquerading as seafood chowder. On the side was a dry white UPF bread roll instead of the brown soda bread promised. Other family members partook of, and left, the ribeye steak (36 Euro each for the ‘pleasure’). Both described it as ‘like leather’. Owners / managers of this establishment, you should be ashamed yourselves - offering this level of slop is not acceptable, even in an airport hotel where you have a captive market. I feel so sorry for your staff… we tipped them notwithstanding the awful food.

03/10/2025: Order take away lamb rogan josh meal once in a while. Always very good quality. A real treat. Love the rice. When you find bay leaves and cardamom you know it's restaurant standard. We did have a meal at the restaurant once but we were the only ones there so no atmosphere. There is a indian closer to me but food is not as good and the guy taking the orders is abit off.

13/09/2025: We ordered a takeaway from their app directly. It told us our food would be with us in 50 mins. 1 hour and 20 minutes later, still no food. I checked the tracker on the app, only to see that my food had already been delivered! I chatted with someone over the app and was told they must be close enough to deliver, but just struggling to find the house (also not the case). 'Delivered' should indicate the food has actually been given to the customer. We are used to delays with ICC and the food was fine, but don't lie to your customers or misrepresent timings to make it look like things are better than they are - it's really offputting.
