The best restaurants in Dublin

22/12/2025: Horrible experience with my family in the drive through this evening left myself short of a big mac and two staff rummaged through my food to find it then they couldn't find it they find chicken nuggets that was put in the bags instead of my big mac got back the nuggets and replaced it with a big mac this whole operation took 10 minutes while customer s were beeping my family and order was violated...

21/12/2025: Food was fine but I was missing items from the Drive thru and it was too busy to go back and queue again. A bit sly to not include all the items.

04/01/2026: We went for lunch for 8 people before a game in the Aviva. Service was very poor, no consistency with waiting staff. We were served by a different waiter every time. Very slow to get drinks and food. It took over an hour for the kids to be served their food. Food was average but overpriced. Tempura prawn starter had 2 prawns for €22. Kids meal €18 for 2 courses!! We were the only table in the restaurant so I’m not sure why service and food was so slow. The hotel is beautiful. The setting is lovely. If service was better this could be a great place to dine.

19/10/2025: Truly awful experience today for lunch. We had been on many occasions before and were always wowed by the atmosphere food and service. A group of 6 of us arrived for lunch today and were seated next to a group of 50 people which appeared to be a christening. The noise was deafening, children running around screaming and staff were few, and very overwhelmed. The food was really poor, the accompanying salad with the prawn tempura lacked freshness, the steak was as tough as old boots with no marination, and the ice cream for dessert was similar to what you’d get at a children’s birthday party. I complained to management and they did discount the bill, a solid gesture but not what I was looking for! We were looking for a nice meal in a ‘small leading hotels of the world’ restaurant but it felt like a cross between McDonald’s and a roadside cafe. Management need to step up, this is APPALLING, and we will not be stepping in there ever again

03/12/2025: Their pizzas are done really well but I’d love to see more toppings / options available. They have a Sicilian option which is great but a bit of basil / pesto and a few extra toppings would go a long way! The pizza base is 5/5

24/11/2025: AVOID!!! If I could give no stars I would. Collected food on the way home from work. Got back home, which was a good drive away and as we ate kebabs we kept getting a funky taste. We then opened our kebab sauces and they stunk and tasted disgusting! The chilli sauce masked the smell of the spoiled garlic when mixed together, but it still smelled off! We had one mixed kebab sauce and another that wasn't mixed! Both were bad! We called the store to express this and they were no help to us. Argumentative and sending the girl on the till back and forth instead of getting onto the phone himself. They refused to send a driver to where we live as they were "TOO BUSY" told us to drive back down with it and as much as we didn't want to, we did, just to prove a point after much arguing over the phone. It was 9pm at night, only sitting down from a long day at work. Anyhow, we packed up the rest of the food including the kids food as they were half way through eating theirs and drove back to the shop where my partner was treated so poorly. They refused to give us any money back, let alone even try to offer more food (not that we'd have eaten it) 🤮 They offered us €5 for the sauce, after spending €40 and driving 20 minutes back to the shop with our horrible food that was inedible! Told them to keep their muck and we will more than likely have upset stomachs tomorrow! Disgraceful carry on and I've never ever came across customer service like it! His words were "what do you want me to do, I can give your food back and you can give it to someone!" The cheek! Bare in mind we've eaten from here many of times before when we lived closer by and never ever again will we eat from the kip! The manager/owner was rude, arrogant and in denial. He even tried to pass a sauce around the shop to ask customers to smell it! I wish I told him to dip his finger in and taste it! They cared more about money than their reputation! A holy show! There was no denying the smell and taste 🤢 Stay clear and go to macaris in tallaght village or castletymon if you want to be treated with excellent customer service and food! Shame on you DARIUS! Learn some manners & respect for customers. A family meal ruined! A waste of time & money, but couldn't have cared less! Update: Bed bound with food poisoning the next day! I can only imagine what goes on behind closed doors! 🤮

26/06/2025: Great service,great food choice also order is made fast. Food taste great.

20/06/2025: Best chipper around.The staff are very friendly,and the place is spotless.Would'nt eat anywhere else.

01/01/2026: They got our order correct but one staff member was really rude. we went through the drive through and you have to sit in the car park for 15 mins. and we ordered two xl bacon double cheeseburger meals and chicken royal and they only gave us 2 ketchup. plus chicken royal should not cost 8 euro.

30/11/2025: Don't bother going. Very unfriendly staff, closes 2 hours early. Only drive thru after that time yet that's nowhere on the website or the actual building. Staff slammed window in my face when I asked them at the drive thru why they were closed so early. Employees with headphones in. So much wrong with this place I wouldn't recommend going.

05/09/2025: Wasn’t expecting too much as the location is a standard hotel adjunct, but had the Thai curry that was one of the freshest tastiest ever had. Sometimes you have to look past the expectation.

12/05/2025: Avoid at all costs, the Manager Alex was so rude, incompetent and arrogant, treating customers very disrespectful..

20/11/2025: Cashier is very friendly (Lin) . Lots of stuff this time. Promotion is worth it. The cashier system must be improved. Excellent

17/10/2025: Recently booked, paid online and pickup keropok lekor from here. Wanted to drop by just to pickup keropok lekor but we ended up adding more Malaysian gem stuff into our carts 😅 From kicap habhal, serbuk asam and asam boi, twisties cheese!! Lovely service but be mindful of the expiry date, ask for discount if you’re willing to buy it if it hs already expired 😉 The “fresh” goods are not something you would come for here but their packed Malaysian goods are definitely worth coming for.

30/11/2025: Absolutely incredible! I got the halloumi breakfast brioche and it and my latte were fantastic :D

27/11/2025: Halloumi brioche breakfast is v tasty 🤤

17/05/2025: As someone new to town, I had this place recommended to me. I arrived late tonight, just 30 minutes before they closed. An older lady kindly explained their chef had already left. However, she was incredibly helpful and still managed to serve me. She offered me lasagna, and it tasted great! I ate quickly so they wouldn't have to stay open late for me, but she never rushed me and even kindly warned me it was very hot. At the register, she even gave me an Italian bread to take home and try. I'm so grateful for her kindness. It meant a lot to me and really made a difference.

05/05/2025: The pizzas aren't amazing, but they're good. They can be a great snack option.

02/01/2026: Surprised that the food was ok, but not surprised at the service. Order wrong and when you return the wrong item, the staff make out like they are doing you a favour

27/12/2025: Worst customer service and specially packaging

13/12/2025: Cod batter was burnt at one end . Chips are included with fish rather than done separately so it hides the fact there are less. The chipper in greendale is far more generous !

06/11/2025: Best chipper on the Northside.Food is excellent

23/09/2025: Awful experience, they say to install their app for a free coffee. After buying the coffee they put me to pay as there was no voucher available in the freshly installed app. The staff told me that the promotion is over and in their liffet is saying clearly that on the 30.09.25 expires. I won't go to any nero cafe ever again

14/09/2025: On sunday you might see only a member of the staff and of course long q and slow service. Oh, ya, one more thing to mention, you' ll see lots of tables with cutlery, cups and other left overs by customers. A big let down in relation to clean.

28/09/2025: Thank you, I come early in the morning and do abit of work from my laptop before library opens. The staff is very friendly! The milkshake is amazing:-)

22/09/2025: I was there early - helpful & friendly staff - coffee just ok

04/01/2026: I ordered by phone for collection girl on the phone was so rude . I asked for a spice BAG but what I got was a small box she never told this when ordered .Wouldn't be going back again very pricey for the amount of food 😒

29/12/2025: Service was quick! Curry sauce had a bit of kick, satay was very nice also!

13/08/2025: Ordered take out. The food was surprisingly tasty. Didn't expect to get authentic taste of Chinese food in Ireland. And the portion is quite big too. Worth every penny.

11/08/2025: Ordered a spice bag with spring roll. Safe to say it was well seasoned and absolutely delicious. It wasn’t too crowded so the service was quick. The server was super friendly.
