The best restaurants in Dublin

03/11/2025: Its taste was better than any other mexican chains in Ireland. But the matter is their bad customer service, so I get it why the rate is not high enough over 4 stars. It was pretty aggressive service for me, so I thought it might have been trainee but made me surprised that was supervisor’s service.

13/10/2025: Great Atmosphere, amazing staff great food, krissia was serving me today and she was brilliant i felt she did her job to an amazing standard, would highly recommend! Will be back !!!!

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!

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.

02/11/2025: Reheated chips and spring roll just awful avoid 💯

27/10/2025: Amazing food amazing staff highly recommended

17/05/2025: Los baños de señoras tienen un piso que no se ha limpiado correctamente en años. Los lavabos están sucios, sin jabón. Todo el lugar necesita un buen fregado. No es un buen baño, para los turistas que visitan la ciudad supuestamente justa de Dublín!

03/05/2025: Llegó a las 2. 00 traigo tragos en el bar. Cuando usé a las damas no había rollo de papel higiénico en ninguno de los cubículos y el inodoro estaba guiñado. No parecía limpio. Los muebles del bar en general necesitarían una renovación. La elección de comida era muy limitada.

18/11/2025: The big burritos are advertised as having twice the rice, but only two small scoops are actually added. I love the taste, but I would like to feel full after paying 16 euros.

15/10/2025: I love Zambrero as a restaurant, and this place was very local for me and handy. Although after recent events I’ve decided to move on to a different Zambrero to enjoy my burritos. I used to always order ahead online and then pick it up in store. I found though that in my more recent online orders they didn’t even start to make it until I arrived to collect it. It wasn’t an excuse like “we wanted it to be fresh for you” it was simply that they just didn’t prioritise it. If they’re busy I get it but I usually order at slower times of the day so that I can get my food. I also only arrive at the time allocated for me to pick up my food. The laziness was getting annoying but I let it slide. What was my final straw with this branch was the experience I had the one time and ordered my food face to face, solely to avail of the student meal where I can get a free can of choice. As I was ordering the girl clearly wasn’t interested to begin with. I’m giving her basic manners and instructions so unsure what her issue was. When I get to the till I ask nicely if I can avail of the student deal and she asks me to show valid ID. I show her my UniDays profile that clearly states my name, college and even a photo of my face. She immediately shuts it down and says it’s an invalid form of ID and she’s not giving me the deal. I ask her why and she just says it’s invalid. The girl next to me in line sees my frustration and steps up to say how she always uses her UniDays ID and they give her the deal. Nowhere in this branch did it say that this wasn’t a valid ID. If something is not a valid form of ID, a shop MUST state this at the till for customers. They failed to do this. The worker gave it to me but said she’d never be able to do this if “the owner was here”. I’d be very surprised if the owner of that tiny branch is there often. Maybe a manager yes, but the owner? Ok. She very rudely sat down my items the till and didn’t even give me a bag to take away my food. I have now moved to a more communal branch and they never ask me for my student ID anymore because I am a frequent and loyal customer and also am clearly a student. They took my UniDays no issue. To Beacon, do better. You have to label what is and isn’t accepted in a shop for customers. It can’t be a surprise when they come up to the till expecting a free drink. Students everyday look for ways to save an extra bit of money. Would also like to state that you cannot set up a UniDays account without a valid student email linked to a real college. It expires every year and you have to apply for renewal so that they know you’re still a student. It’s not a fake app where you can get away with anything. State policies in stores and train your workers to not be so lazy.

30/12/2025: dont waste ur money. ordered the spice bag but didnt realise i ordered a salt bag. have never had such a salty spice bag in my life. so salty to the point that it was inedible and the food feels like a threat to my life. im convinced the chef was pouring in the salt and his hand slipped but was too lazy too throw it out🤢🤢

16/08/2025: I have never wanted to orgasam more eating a spice bag it was PERFECTLY crispy and the chicken was cooked well but yet so tender and the curry and sweet and sour sauce did wonders for my taste buds 10/10 please try x

18/12/2025: We were there for our Xmas Lunch party. It's a carvery of great yummy choices, we all enjoyed the food and friendly service. Thanks a million.

11/11/2025: 12 euro for a white roll and no side served. Outrageous price and 0 value for money.

11/11/2025: I went to this café today and ordered a small mocha. While chatting with my colleague, another staff member (different from the one who took my order) called out “your mocha,” so I naturally went up and took it. A few moments later, the person who originally took my order came up to me and started speaking to me quite loudly, accusing me of taking a medium mocha instead. I tried to explain that I just took the drink when their colleague handed it out, but she continued to speak in an unpleasant tone and gave me angry looks — right in front of my colleague and her staff. I found that very unprofessional and unnecessary, especially since the difference was only €1 and it wasn’t even a mocha — it turned out to be a cappuccino. I wasn’t bothered about getting the wrong drink, mistakes happen, but the way the situation was handled and the attitude shown were completely unjustified. A little more courtesy and understanding would have gone a long way

29/07/2025: Costa pulse at ucd have my heart, they have the best staff always there to serve you. I was a student here and everytime i used to enter the cafeteria they remembered my regular order and with a bright smile they served me. Thanks to the entire team for making my time in UCD great. Kudos. The small mocha will be missed.

11/01/2026: I ordered a banana brute toast, it was very tasty, and the service was excellent

11/01/2026: New menu is lovelly! Good food and Capuccino was great as well.

16/01/2026: Dublin's renowned shopping centers are mostly mid- to high-end, but they can also offer very affordable deals during sales.

15/01/2026: I purchased a Shark SmoothStyle (5419139) from Arnotts on 04/09/2024. In December 2025, while the product was still under statutory warranty, it developed a fault. I contacted Arnotts via online chat and on 16/12/2025 I was assisted by Callum, who instructed me to return the defective item. I requested a replacement, and the product was posted on 20/12/2025. On the same day, I updated my delivery address on the Arnotts website. After a long delay with no resolution, I contacted Arnotts again on 12/01/2026 and was informed that the return procedure I had been instructed to follow was a company error. Despite this, Arnotts returned the defective product to me without my consent, instead of providing a replacement or refund, and instructed me to contact the manufacturer directly. This is contrary to Irish and EU consumer law, under which the retailer remains legally responsible for warranty claims. To make matters worse, the product was sent to my old address, even though my delivery details had been correctly updated on their system. This represents a clear delivery error on Arnotts’ part. To date, Arnotts has refused to provide an appropriate remedy as required under consumer law. If this matter remains unresolved, I will escalate the issue to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC).

11/01/2026: Room was fine and very comfortable bed but a really bad smell in the ensuite bathroom. Not impressed with the bar food

02/01/2026: Worse place for food stuff is not one bit nice bald guy behind bar has no time for customers dont waste your money here local is not welcome

02/01/2026: Food only ok, staff extremely rude.

31/12/2025: The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food is great. It's my family's go to for Chinese food.

24/12/2025: This is my go to Chinese restaurant despite having multiple places closer to my home. The food always tastes fresh and staff are always pleasant.

09/12/2025: Order: chicken chop suey with fried noodles. Food: another fully average chop suey. Not excellent, not bad. They followed my instruction no celery, and the tray wasn’t overloaded with onion. Noodles were quite flat and lacking flavour. Overall acceptable, nothing memorable. 6/10 Portion: standard size, fair enough for what it is. Service: simple packaging – plastic tray for the main, round plastic bowl for the noodles, paper bag with the kitchen logo. No napkins, no chopsticks, no cutlery. Functional but minimalistic. 6/10 Price: nothing impressive for Dublin standards, not cheap, not overpriced. 6/10 Overall: 6/10. Decent value, average taste, nothing surprising. I might return, but only if I am very hungry and there is nothing better available nearby.

15/12/2025: Awful experience, rude owner. We were a group who went there to have shisha, first he said we need to have 5 shisha atleast cause there were 9 of us, that's a total of 150 eur. Instead we ended up deciding to just get tea and sweets. 7 out of 9 of us ordered tea and sweets but he said you cant sit here if you're not ordering anything which is a complete bulsht rule. He was even being rude to everyone inspite of we trying to accommodate. Ended up leaving the place without having anything. WORST HOSPITALITY.

13/12/2025: Nice vibe, great products and friendly staff

21/01/2026: Quick breakfast break. Fast and friendly service! The products are well-known. There's a good selection.

10/12/2025: Quiet coffee shop, good for meet up, working/studying or just reading a book
