The best restaurants in Dublin

24/05/2026: Back here again this evening. Owner is a gent. Place still a solid 5 out of 5

09/05/2026: *Portions reduced *Macros questionable Received our order and noticed only 6 small/medium pieces of chicken and the rest was full of vegetables in both portions. I called thinking this was a genuine error but I was advised they now weigh their Chicken. That leads me to question the marcos displayed that's advertised to suit healthy option/ gym enthusiasts as they are the same as previous size portions. I advised I order weekly and I wouldnt be ordering again if that's going to be the case but they just finished the call with nothing more to add other than its now weighed. Although the quality is good the quantity doesn't reflect the price. Customers should be advised of this new menu concept and their macros updated as unfair for people counting protein/kcals.

11/02/2026: Bad smells in store, tables are dirty.

22/01/2026: Probably the best Starbucks in Dublin. Very chill atmosphere with decent coffee and fast wi-fi. The Staff are Friendly and helpful, especially the American barista.

16/06/2026: Delivered the wrong food then when I rang them had to wait over two hrs when shop is only couple hundred metres up the road went to shop and tried to tell me they already sorted that delivery when I clearly didn't receive just as I speak it arrived guess what it's wrong again never will I order out of here again

07/06/2026: I thought this was 4 star pizza not 3.4 star pizza I’m upset

05/06/2026: I had a brilliant experience here! Their paneer lababdar is absolutely a must-try. I truly recommend this spot for a fantastic takeaway night. The food was amazing! ✨

22/02/2026: Have ordered before from Spice Cottage and food was always great. But yesterday, we ordered two starters (onion baji and chicken pakura), both were soaking in grease and virtually inedible…we ordered one main (chicken tikka masala with Pilau rice), the rice was the best part!! The Nasn bread was soggy. Feels like a completely different takeaway/chef…reluctant to try again!!!

03/05/2026: I don’t understand why the reviews are low for this place. I can’t get over how delicious everything was: Paneer was fresh and tasty the chicken was charred in an oven. It was just a blend of tantalising flavour! Seriously try it!

03/05/2026: Worst place to order , very long waiting time, said 35mints and took more than 1and half hours and not even apologized for delay

21/11/2025: The worst taro milk tea I have ever tasted, it was just straight up milk. The server was kind enough to add more taro powder but still it tasted just of milk.

27/09/2025: I'm a seasoned Taro drinker and this places Taro boba was really bad. The milk was watered down and very little Taro was used in the drink. Go somewhere else folks there are other lovely boba places in Dublin.

01/06/2026: Terrible service, takes too long to get ready... awful!

15/05/2026: Slowest McDonald’s in the world

06/06/2026: Awful pizza, dreadful sauce and base.

23/04/2026: Service in the Ballyboden/RathfarnhamPizza Hut has been declining steadily for many years. Yesterday when I dropped in there was one person working there. Yes, 1 person taking orders, answering the phone, taking payments, making pizzas, cooking and boxing food. Really the place should have been closed up from a health and safety point of view but you guys wouldn't pass up a days profits of course. Therein lies the problem, cutting corners to increase profits and the customer then is the victim. I may return once more, but if it's not a drastic improvement on yesterdays 30 minutes for a pizza then I will be gone for good.

06/03/2026: A cozy place with a feel of good food to be had. We had great evening here with friends. Crab , Calamari starters excellent. Most had Dublin bay prawns and just superb. Sides were good and very helpful waiters when we asked for items not on the menu. Enjoyed good loire wines at reasonable prices for the fish. Our party were delighted with the experience. Will be back.

02/03/2026: This restaurant has a cosy and elegant atmosphere, with attentive servers who do not rush you at all. The seafood is very tasty and the desserts looked good (though we didn't partake). The vegetable sides are almost uniformly overdone, though -- just get the creamed spinach and forget about the broccoli, cauliflower or green beans, which are tasteless and overdone. Whyyyyy??? This is a throwback place that may well be coasting on tourists. You can eat much better at many other spots in town, but the servers and the atmosphere is charming and beautifully quiet.

11/03/2026: Very good food and customer service

01/03/2026: Their food is nice but unfortunately it took two full hours exactly for our order to arrive last night. Their phone was constantly engaged, when it did eventually arrive at 9.45 there wasn't even an apology. We order many takeaways from Kimmage and Terenure and unfortunately Mr Chen is the only place that we've ever had these disastrous delivery experiences. That was out last time ordering there.

13/04/2026: Lovely food most of time thay dont use fresh chilli its dry one would give u 3rd degree bruns one is a nuf thay put 20 or more Iv noticed thay new drivers indin kinda lada thay never bring little change to ur door if o u 1 or 2 have to go car so u let them go.SCAM

02/12/2025: I tried a spice bag for the first time. It was very heavily seasoned, which I enjoyed, although I can see how others might think it was too much. The price felt slightly high, but I'm not from the area, so it may be reasonable. That said, the portion was extremely large, enough to feed two people. I appreciated how the restaurant used foil packs and a foil lined bag, to help keep the food warm.

01/11/2025: Took two hours for delivery to arrive. The last delivery we got took one hour thirty minutes to arrive. Could not get through by phone to query where delivery was. Driver who arrived needs a lesson in customer care. Avoid if you are hungry. There are better takeaways in area.

02/04/2026: the spicebag is one of my favorites needs a bit more chicken in it but besides that great

21/03/2026: How are you I just placed order for 5 people and I just got a spice box with a curry sauce and there was literally 4 pieces of chicken and the rest chips I’m really disappointed since I order from here all the time

12/04/2026: Order from here frequently and it's always good but this time the service was awful. 10 minutes waiting on the phone and then ordered Singapore fried rice and crispy shredded beef (among other things). The lad on the phone called it back to me correctly. The order was collected by a family member and when they arrived it was Singapore noodles and Normal beef (not crispy and mostly vegetables). Mistakes happen but I called to let the lad on the phone know and he said "I called it back to you" trying to put the blame on me. He called back my correct order. Food is good when it's the right order and the staff are normally great but this time it was very bad.

03/04/2026: Ordered a delivery for a 4in1 with Shredded chicken and the chicken tasted and smelled like fish. Rang the shop and the woman on the phone was so rude and cheeky. She told me they don’t have any fish products in the shop which is a lie as there are prawns on the menu. She then said “well what do you want me to do about it” in a very cheeky tone and stated that she hasn’t had any other complaints about it. I told her I can send the food back if she doesn’t believe me and she said make sure I get there before they close knowing I had ordered for delivery and no way to get to the shop. She then said she will assess the food first and then decide if they will refund me my money (she did refund in the end after going back and forth). The customer service from this worker was awful. I usually only order from here but I’m not sure I would recommend it now after this woman’s attitude.
