The best restaurants in Dublin

20/11/2025: Went in for a coffee this morning and kind of horrified at my experience. Barista used a jug with milk still in it from previous customer, didn't rinse it, so mixed fresh cold milk with already steamed milk. I can understand doing that MAYBE when in a rush and under pressure but there were no customers after me so no excuse for using dirty equipment and old milk. This is considered really bad practice and depending on how bad the cleanliness standard of the jugs are, possibly against HACCP if they are routinely letting the same milk be reheated over and over. After I very reluctantly took a sip of my coffee it wasn't very warm and I turned around and went back in, apologised and explained that my coffee wasn't very hot. I normally wouldn't complain about something like that but I was kind of hoping for a fresh coffee that was made with new milk and a clean jug, Barista apologised and to my absolute horror, poured my coffee in its entirety back into the dirty jug and steamed the coffee. This is terrible practice and my coffee tasted disgusting, couldn't drink it and had to throw it away. I thought maybe I was being dramatic so I told a friend and they were also horrified at the lack of standards for cleanliness and product quality.

19/11/2025: Disappointing! I was looking forward to have a lovely flat white and I went yesterday to order one. Barista was so slow and flat white was cold. I had to threw it away. Not worth it for 3.95 🤯

08/11/2025: The food is very good. That too for students its very affordable. Unlimited buffet with actually good items. From starters to main course. I recommend everyone to at least once have food from here.

08/11/2025: The food is amazing.Worth for money if you are in search of Indian food and are craving.Also have Student offers

09/03/2026: Popped into the McDonald's at Liffey Valley Shopping Centre (the one on Fonthill Rd) and it was exactly what you’d hope for a quick pit stop. ​I tried the Large Donut Crumble Latte, which is one of the newer limited-time items. It’s definitely on the sweeter side, but the whipped cream and the crunchy donut bits on top give it a nice texture that sets it apart from a standard latte. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, it’s a winner. At €4.70, it’s a fair price for a large specialty coffee. ​The service was grand—fast and efficient, even though this location stays pretty busy with the drive-thru and shoppers. The staff were flying through the orders, and the place was kept relatively tidy despite the constant flow of people. ​It’s a solid, reliable spot whether you’re doing a big shop or just passing through Palmerstown. ​Quick Stats: ​Item: Large Donut Crumble Latte ​Price: €4.70 ​Vibe: Busy, fast-paced, and friendly.

02/03/2026: ​"Extremely poor service for delivery drivers. I waited 5 minutes while my order was clearly ready on the counter, and everyone ignored me. When I politely explained to the manager that the food was getting cold and asked to take it, she was incredibly rude. She told me it didn't matter and threatened to report me, saying I must wait until called. Zero respect for our time or the customer's food quality."

08/03/2026: Got Snack Box meal with breast another snack box chicken certainly not fresh Thigh tasted weird fresh cod meal and onion rings Fish was not great Onion rings were nice Chips ok but could of been better Probably worst take away I had there Staff were not that pleasant Would certainly not be tempted to return

10/02/2026: Tasty fish n chip , recommended

27/01/2026: I came to this shop but they are closed and I waited more than 30 minutes till they open. Nobody on till ,you need to ask the butcher about them and they call then he comes. This is ridiculous and disgusting. I won't buy from them anymore. All halal shops around them are opened always from morning till evening.

06/09/2025: This has to be one of the worst places to get takeaway. Their prices are high compared to other local Chinese. They don't even throw in a bag of prawn crackers free when spending nearly €30. Shocking. There's better in the locality.

30/08/2025: Got crispy chicken... it looked and tasted like it came from the frozen aisle in the supermarket.

26/11/2025: This is such a fabulous place for lunch, great food, flavours and lovely staff, would highly recommend trying the hot chicken sandwich!

25/11/2025: The reviews are all correct. The owner/manager lady snaps at you. Makes no effort to make her voice pleasant. The cashier young woman was very nice. But we got the quick coffee and breakfast we were looking for and a stool to sit on, very convenient and fast easy breakfast. Many people coming in and out for a coffe.

11/11/2025: It just didn’t really suit my personal taste. Even though I ate there, I was given my food in a to-go box. I’m not sure if that’s normal, but I found it a bit strange because I was expecting it to be served on a plate. So that just felt a bit odd to me. The food was okay, but I thought it was quite expensive for what you actually got in the end. I’ve had larger portions for less money before — both where I’m from and also here in Dublin in general. I personally wouldn’t recommend it. That’s just my opinion. I had read other reviews before, so I was curious and wanted to give it a try. But it just didn’t really match my personal taste.

26/09/2025: Good value. Food was ok and generous there.

18/01/2026: The Chicken Tikka Masala I got was poor quality, featuring dry, unmarinated cubes of meat that lacked the traditional char and flavours expected of the dish, def not marinated! Furthermore, the prawn dish was overcooked to a mushy consistency and were entirely flavourless and went straight in the bin! Given that these dishes were so bad I will not order from here again!

11/01/2026: Is the chef was on leave today? This is not biriyani, it is puzhugal ari with chicken cubes.

09/09/2025: Julianna working at the bar was so lovely and friendly. Incredible service!!

18/08/2025: We didn't eat but the service (Julianna) was fabulous. If ever in Dublin be sure and stop in. Lots of sports

14/02/2026: Worse service around told the food was on its way not such thing had to ring a half a later haven’t still not left over the food here and have been loyal customer will never order from here again

12/02/2026: Lovely food everytime! We always get the 4 in 1, shrimp toast, sweet and sour chicken and anything with beef is so delicious and tender. Definitely would recommend as is the best Chinese takeaway!

08/01/2026: Got sweet and chill spice bag best thing I have eatin in my life staff is nice and I just love it

02/01/2026: Best value in Dublin , tastes amazing, cant fault it

08/02/2026: Really tasty food and generous portions. Everything arrived hot and well packed— will definitely order again!

06/02/2026: won’t let me sit down even though there’s chairs, very rude and aggressive staff do not recommended

20/12/2025: Asked for thin and crispy garlic bread over the phone. Received a raw dough garlic bread, which was not thin or crispy. Came back to the store and asked nicely to just remake it, no issues at all. Started getting cheek from the chef that the garlic bread should be thick and fluffy. Well I don’t care because I asked for thin and crispy. Either way, his point didn’t matter because the dough was literally raw, just remake the pizza and stop chatting. Some new lady that helps making the pizzas started making disgust faces at me, as if I’m crazy for not eating a raw dough pizza. Madness.

15/12/2025: Dont order for delivery if your hungry because you'll be left famished, be prepared to wait 1hr and half, and pizza will arrive all soggy not nice at all!! Collection great! fresh! Just avoid ordering for delivery, as they wont even answer the phone for an update

24/01/2026: I ordered chicken curry, chips and egg fried rice. Unfortunately the most tasteless chinese I ever had. Horrible processed chicken. Curry sauce had zero flavour. May aswell be eating a bowl of water. Egg fried rice was bland and tasteless. The chips were small dry, hard re-heats.

02/01/2026: Got a takeaway from Cabra. Very nice. Food 10 out of 10. Quick delivery, friendly. Will use again.
