The best restaurants in Dublin

22/05/2025: I have been a huge fan of San Sab for years. I go to Drumcondra branch every week and have done for the last few years, even make an appearance to Clontarf the odd time also. The last few experiences have not been so pleasant for me. I’ll start with Clontarf, myself and my partner went a few weeks back and were greeted to the place busy as usual which I love to see! We were told to wait 20 mins which was no problem. Then we waited 45/50 mins and was told the kitchen was taking last orders soon and not sure if they could take us, after telling us they would have a table ready. Food was poor and then staff which seemed to be young were quite rude. Drumcondra service has been quite bad lately, we received some cold chicken skewers, I had ordered bao buns without cucumber and it came with cucumber then when returned staff weren’t so pleasant. Disappointing experiences lately which is annoying! As I love the place and the food is amazing

11/05/2025: Incredibly disappointing, I Ordered a Tofu spicebag and regular spicebag for takeaway because I heard it was “the best” , as soon as I opened the bag oil poured out of it and I could see straight away it was incredibly soggy and oily. The spicebag itself was a big enough portion but tasted like it was covered in sugar syrup and had no flavour or taste at all! Service was very good and staff were very nice but the spicebag was not good at all!

21/04/2025: Cheapest pints in dublin and food 5 pints and burger and chips 16.70 euros.

02/03/2025: Great hockey pitch and parking facilities 👍🏻

30/05/2025: Perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth, fresh, cheesy goodness with all the perfect burger fixings. Fast service, clean shop. Perfect for the weary traveler or someone whose hit the pub a little too hard

24/05/2025: Very good burgers, however fries were way too salty and no more milkshakes at 8 p.m.... too bad

21/04/2025: The only location I found shaorma as home. Very tasty!

04/04/2025: Great service, and the food is fantastic. 10 out of 5 😁

22/04/2025: Very pleasant staff. Best burger I've ever eaten!! Enough said.

05/04/2025: Great place for coffee and cake. Easy parking. Dogs welcome in the covered area at the front of the building.

13/06/2025: We had the mini breakfast, and it was worth it. Despite being centrally located, the price was reasonable. The breakfast was good, and the service was friendly.

13/06/2025: If we could give 0 we would. They advertise as the best Fish & Chips in Dublin well we’d hate to see the worst. What was served up to us wasn’t fit to serve to an animal (Fish & Chips and Chicken Tenders & Chips). Over cooked & dry. Absolutely disgusting and would never recommend the to any other traveller. We now know why there were no locals eating there

01/06/2025: Delicious burgers and fries and great service usually when I go to the Capel St branch. My second time here at the Kevin St branch and I was really not impressed with the service. We ordered 2 burgers, a double smash, and a triple smash. I always get the triple, so in the middle of eating mine, I noticed it was just 2 patties in it. I went back up to the server with my burger, and she assured me that it was a triple. If you look at the picture, it clearly is not. We even checked the other burger, and it was a double. A customer beside us also got a triple, and it was very obvious there were 3 patties in it. I don't recommend the Kevin St branch if this is the service one will get.

24/05/2025: They had the best burger I have ever tried. The staff are always so friendly.

20/04/2025: I have been several times and they have always treated me great, everything was great and super friendly. My favorite is the gut buster meal although I have loved everything I have tried there.

13/04/2025: We're visiting from Canada and just ate takeaway wings, burgers and fries from here, absolutely delicious! Huge portions, super friendly staff. Would eat from here anytime!

15/04/2025: Great selection of food ,good size portions and tasty

06/04/2025: Very good pub in Clondalkin village.

02/06/2025: Found a rusted stapler pin in our takeaway. Not acceptable guys, not acceptable.

28/05/2025: I recently visited Istanbel Kebab House in Dublin and tried their biryani and rogan josh. I was pleasantly surprised by both the portion size and the bold flavors. The biryani was fragrant and generously spiced, with tender pieces of meat and perfectly cooked rice—definitely a comfort food winner. The rogan josh stood out with its rich, slow-cooked gravy and tender lamb. It had just the right amount of heat and depth, making it one of the better versions I’ve had in the city. The place has a casual vibe and was quite busy during my visit, which is always a good sign. Service was straightforward and efficient, although a bit rushed due to the crowd. Pricing was fair for the quality and quantity of food. Overall, Istanbel is a great spot for anyone craving flavorful Indian and Middle Eastern-inspired dishes. I’d definitely return for the biryani alone.

11/05/2025: Great ice cream! A little unfortunate that they only have one person taking care of everything on a Sunday night... Get ready to wait!

22/04/2025: Coffe to go, icecream and sweets.

01/06/2025: Most staff ok. Owner very aggressive towards staff. Seems to treat them poorly

17/05/2025: Really cool spot for food and coffee. Great pizza’s! Good selection of pastries to have with coffee also! Got really cool vibes from the whole place!

18/06/2025: Fresh, tasty, and quick. Great option for a healthy meal in Dublin!

04/06/2025: In today, Wednesday 4th June - the staff are working non stop. I hope their employers know how hard they work! Delicious food
