The best restaurants in Dublin

11/06/2026: Good middle Eastern food. Butchery area is neat and clean

21/04/2026: Generally of good variety, especially for Arabic food ingredients. Moderately overpriced items compared to the stores in Coolmine but this is a common issue with all halal shops unfortunately.

15/07/2026: Staff excellent. Food was fine. Crazy crazy over priced for chipper. 18.50 euro for small bag of chips, breast of chicken, can or coke, and portion of curry. 4.50 for portion of watery curry sauce.

13/07/2026: Lovely cod and chips. Quick and friendly service.

18/07/2026: Excellent place to shop and eat there.

29/06/2026: It's not a gourmet shop at all. The prices are outrageous. We bought fruit and there was an ant in one raspberry, and the rest were moldy. Not recommended at all.

27/06/2026: Nice atmosphere to relax, but absolutely deplorable service. The waiter was disrespectful and called us poor when we hesitated to order because €40 for 6 glasses of tea?????? What a rip-off!

17/06/2026: The service was bad, I don't recommend it.

10/05/2026: 3 of us arrived for brunch, got a seat inside and were seen to pretty quickly but that was the end of what went well. They brought out the wrong dishes. None of us got the right thing. They took them away but didn't communicate anything. 30 mins later I asked about our order and the server said there was an issue in the kitchen. 10 mins later 2 of the 3 dishes that arrived were correct. It was another 10 minutes before the last meal came. No butter for the toast, no salt on the table (the food was kinda bland), overall a very disappointing experience.

30/04/2026: The place is very quiet and comfortable. I went during brunch time and the place wasn't full. The place was clean and tidy. The service was a bit slow and not very attentive. I had Irish breakfast which was good and the portion was reasonable. I’d especially recommended it if you want to spend a quiet morning and eat delicious food.

31/05/2026: Loved it here, gluten free batter on fish is only gorgeous

30/05/2026: Came here years ago on our first dinner date, we came back with our baby now. Happy to see that the fish and chips is still as fresh and good as it was, the staff is still as friendly and they now have colouring pencils for the babies! The good music is a bonus

12/06/2026: Place is a joke. The clowns are half asleep,I got food the odd weekend for a year or so as its my local, and they would ask me after 20 minutes standing there what's for you??? I will Never spend a euro here again. Kip

26/02/2026: Costin was very kind and friendly.

10/07/2026: The chips you get here are particularly bad. They are rubbery and feel like reheated leftovers. The staff as well seem hostile and they don’t seem to understand difference between eat-in & takeaway. Seems like a waste of space

21/06/2026: I was there yesterday. Everything was amazing!! Food is fresh and delicious. Staff is very friendly.

06/05/2026: Very good food ..... Mr.raja was very friendly with me.... biriyani was excellent with good ambiance

06/05/2026: Atmosphere was so good. Raj was so friendly.

13/06/2026: Scam Alert - Avoid this restaurant. Unacceptable Food Quality & Dismissive Management This was my first and last time ordering from this restaurant. We ordered three dishes — Saag Paneer, Veg Tikka Masala, and Veg Biryani — and every single one was a disappointment. 🔴 Saag Paneer What arrived was a bowl of saag with paneer bhurji (crumbled, minced paneer) scattered on top, nowhere close to the classic dish. When I called to raise this, the manager casually explained that the chef was handling multiple orders simultaneously and may have accidentally minced the paneer. That is not an explanation. That is an admission of carelessness. 🔴 Veg Tikka Masala This dish tasted like dessert, cloyingly sweet, more reminiscent of rasmalai than a tikka masala. The manager's response? He referred to it as "veg korma" and suggested that's simply how they make it. If you are selling a dish as Veg Tikka Masala, it must taste like one. Relabelling it after a complaint is not acceptable. 🔴 Veg Biryani What was served was artificially red-coloured rice, not a biryani by any standard. At that point, I had already heard enough from the manager and did not bother raising this issue. The food quality was poor across the board, and the management response made it worse. Every concern was either deflected or redefined rather than acknowledged. If you value authenticity in Indian cuisine, look elsewhere. This restaurant is not it.

21/05/2026: We have been going to The Shanai as a family for decades. My parents always went for Birthdays and Anniversaries. The rest of us who live abroad love to go there on our trips back to Dublin. My Lovely Brother died in the USA and my sister in law and his son knew straight away that The Shanai was the only place to have his Irish Celebration of Life. Buffet style food was absolutely delicious. Every choice was piping hot and scrumptious. My brother loved Butter Chicken so we had this as well. Best one ever! The staff were just wonderful and looked after us beautifully. They were very attentive and polite and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you for helping to make it such a special and enjoyable evening, despite the circumstances. Highly recommend The Shanai. I will see you next time I'm in Dublin.

28/10/2025: Very nice pizzas from this Cinellis, with chips and garlic sauce lovely

08/06/2025: Food is great so are the staff!

27/11/2025: Amazing as always! Thank you ♥️

17/11/2025: The man who runs obriens omni is arrogant and extremely rude with no sense of professionalism whatsoever, if you don’t want to deal with people and order changes maybe don’t work in the hospitality industry.

07/07/2026: Fantastic spot to hang out with friends after a day of school/work, the place is quiet and it has a casual feeling to it, great place to bring a date as well, the only downside is that they are only taking cash atm so you better bring some change if you want to come in, other than that it offers a great selection of teas for every type of taste so don't worry if tea isn't your thing cause I'm sure you'll find the right flavor for you!

06/07/2026: Their menu has a wide selection of teas from every culture and any different countries. The interior is really calm and unique. A very different experience. One thing to note is that every tea is served at around 500 ml so best to go with more people, and because of this more varieties can’t be explored at once

08/07/2026: Spotless clean restaurant, only problem i have was with my order, I got a diner kebab meal. It was just full of veg and little to no meat inside, waste of 15 euros

28/04/2026: I had a wonderful experience at Romayo’s Diner Royal Canal Park. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and everything was served quickly. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. I will definitely be coming back!🤗
