The best restaurants in Dublin

18/06/2026: A good burger in a petrol station. The lad behind the counter was excellent, took time to help me decide what I wanted. It helped it was a Wednesday where they had an €11 meal deal. Waiting in the garage shop was a bit odd but that was where it was. Accidental find, I think they call it serendipity when it works out

12/05/2026: We ordered the Angus beef burger, chips and 12 chicken wings with bbq sauce. My husband enjoyed the wings, to note they are cooked from frozen according to the staff. My burger and chips were cooked and sitting on the counter for about 5 minutes before the wings were cooked and they were both cold when served although the chips were tasty with skins on. Also there wasnt enough burger sauce in the burger and the bun wasnt toasted. I won't eat here again.

30/07/2026: Found the staff here friendly, but the price point is way off. Paid almost a tenner for a small sandwich (even though it was one of their 'signature range'). Still hungry after it. Probably the dearest place around Nassau Street but there are many better places close by to get much better value for money.

26/07/2026: Definitely known for their bagel sandwiches and great variety of coffee drinks.

23/05/2026: Best veggie spicebag in Dublin!!

28/06/2026: Only giving 2 stars because my favourite staff have all left 😒My work colleagues and I have been getting our coffee from here every weekday. The draw is actually the friendly barista staff, Sam, Franco, Abbie, Karl and there is another tall lad but I cannot remember his name . They are always polite and friendly . We still miss Sean though

17/06/2026: Lava coffe is the best you can get dark roast or mild. They are in most Applegreen garages its part of our moving ritual.

07/07/2026: Ready for collection when I arrived.

26/05/2026: Inconsistent and disappointed. It's hit or miss whether Bangkok noodles will be spicy or not. Tonight my husband said they were good, last time they weren't. I ordered Kung Fu noodles based on the description & photo (chicken & veg noodle stirfry), there was loads of chicken but the veg was practically non existent. A tiny amount and miniscule sized veg (maybe 1 piece of mangetout diced into 8-10 pieces along with a dozen miniscule (3mm cubed) pieces of carrot). Won't be ordering it again.

04/06/2026: The 5 stars are for Sean brown and Sean brown only. A dedicated man to the brand! Sean was running the cabra branch on his own

27/02/2026: The new chips is not good like the last one

08/07/2026: One of the best tasting and priced spice bags in Ireland. 9.50 for the spice bag, a can of coke and curry sauce!?

26/04/2026: Staff are always lovely and so friendly

06/07/2026: Nice coffee, had a spicy chicken, bacon panini, which came with a bottle of water. They also do waffles and ice creams, plenty of seating as well. Nice spot on a hot day.

26/05/2026: I don’t even want to give this place a star. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk but was given regular milk instead. This wasn’t a preference, now feeling sick. Really disappointing experience.

30/07/2026: Used to be a great spot but I get a sense that the new staff are not trained properly. Im a local to the area, so Im not talking about a once off instance. Coffees are boiling hot. All drinks (latte, cappuccino, flat white) have the exact same amount of foam which is very frustrating when you ask for a flat white and its 40% foam. Girls are barely paying attention to you and constantly talking.

15/07/2026: Is the box coffee in bushy Park or near it.or could I meet the at bushy pRk

31/07/2026: Poor branch, don’t know how it’s still open, food always arrives stone cold, order is usually wrong or the drinks usually spilled, ice cream machine is never ever working. Poor management and incompetent staff.

25/07/2026: Service is abysmal, I wouldnt recommend it if you're looking for fast food. Had to wait ages for the chap to take our order at the drive-thru and then had to wait ages for him to reappear to pay him and that was by a trainer on a quiet morning 🤔

18/07/2026: The nicest Chinese takeaway I've ever eaten out of great quality food

13/05/2026: Would never order from this place again. Honestly one of the worst food experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food tasted like pure salt — no flavour, no quality, just salt overloaded on everything. The meat was old, dry, chewy and looked like it had been sitting there for weeks untouched. Completely inedible. Food quality was terrible from start to finish. Definitely not fresh and definitely not worth the money. I genuinely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I won’t recommend it even to my enemy. 1 star is being too much. This place shouldn’t be on market selling this garbage to people. I would rather stay hungry even if they offer to get something free from them.

28/06/2026: Friendly service and good food - only negative is the delivery driver tried to short change me. Luckily I caught it before he ripped me off. Reference delivery 28/06 11.30pm

25/06/2026: Diego is amazing he cares so much about customer service. Thank you! 10/10 pizza🙌🏽

11/07/2026: This place is so much better than the place next door. Went for the magic box. Service was quick and kind, chips good, kebab meat good and plenty of sauce if asked for. Top spot. Thanks guys

29/06/2026: Ordered food here twice, mixed kebab box and fish and chips. It was after 11pm (possibly later) on both occasions. The fact that they were open was a welcome sight as there was no other food options nearby. The food was excellent and the owners were working hard and still polite and friendly throughout the process. I'd never been to a "chipper" (as one local described it) so unsure what to expect. Kebabs were well seasoned and came in a healthy portion size. The fish was just good but the chips were excellent. I would not hesitate to eat here again.

25/03/2026: The food is amazing, the size is fair, quality of meat so far the best i've had in Dublin 15, the spice blend was fantastic, they know how to play with the spices and everything was good, fantastic delivery, they said 30 minutes, in 17 minutes the order arrived, the things i didnt like, so ill start with how greedy it is to charge 24 euros for a munchie box and if u want drinks pay extra 2 euro for each, at least give a drink for free, and the problem with the curry sauce, why give a curry sauce this big, who's gonna eat that much curry sauce?

19/02/2026: Enjoyed my dinner and they had friendly and kind service.

17/05/2026: I have to say used to love this take away , but tonight I ordered a kebab and burger and the lettuce was so soft and sluggish . In the kebab there was not enough sauce and also it was supposed to be a mixed kebab were there was hardly any chicken in it , I wouldn’t order here again unfortunately.

20/03/2026: I went into Rocca’s today for Lunch. Got a Cod portion, onion rings (x3) and a chicken Kebab. The onion rings were burnt, the cod portion was fine but the chicken Kebab was absolutely ridiculous. When I opened the bag it was all over the bag, bread torn and smothered in sauce. Not enjoyable at all and the chicken was like rubber. As I was leaving I decided to get a small bottle of BPM, €3.50 for a drink is not ok 🙌🏼 I would not recommend this place anymore as 2 minutes away at killester is a nicer place. I know Rocca’s my whole life since I was a kid. I used to get the animal box meal for kids when I was only 6. To see this place go completely downhill is a shame as it’s had a good run as one of the nicer chippers in the area.
