The best restaurants in Dublin

13/10/2026: Avoid avoid avoid probley the worst food order I have ever got wouldn't get it again even if it was free

26/09/2026: Barbin the manager absolute legend really looked after me and my friend when we ordered. Customer service A1+ this man is a gentleman 👏 its people like this who make all the difference.

25/06/2026: Very plane flavor, looks good presentation, but flavor is bad, lack of flavor, no salt, super plane, I don’t recommend and I am Mexican so very disappointed

21/06/2026: We ordered pork adobada tacos, chicken buldak tacos, and pork consume. It sounded good, but unfortunately spice and flavour were underwhelming. I appreciate the chicken was marinated (onion habanero xni-pek), but I personally didn't like the taste much. And it was missing fiery heat. Consume needed to pack more of a punch too, and was a little bland. Everything could have done with more seasoning. Service was good. You order and pick your orderup at the window. Atmosphere, well its in a pub which can be very full and loud. Depends on your preference. I do appreciate the food here compared to bar food.

25/10/2026: Have to say very bad form during the marathon, spectating with children to support the runners, came in as a customer & this bakery refused to allow us to use their toilet.

18/10/2026: It’s a lovely cafe, the staff are friendly and the pastries and cakes I have tried are nice. It’s also a great place to go and work from as there are many power outlets around the dining area however the lack of a toilet for customers is a real let down. Just earlier today an elderly woman asked could she use the toilet and was told by staff that she needed to walk down to the Kilmainham Hilton hotel and she their toilet. That is poor form for a business selling beverages and food

11/09/2026: AVOID, AVOID!! Overcharged me. The place has had no investment since the early 1990’s. The food premises is tired and run down. The food is mediocre at best. They can’t even brown the bread properly to obtain toast. To add insult to possible injury, the food is dull and basic. It’s also overpriced. If you want the ambience of Sid’s Cafe from Only Fools and Horses TV show, Boss Hogs, Clondalkin, Dublin, Ireland is it. Why visit this place when other food businesses offer better food, better portions at better prices and in nicer surroundings. This place has past its shelf life.

15/07/2026: My experience of BOSS HOGS in Clondalkin Village, AVOID!! Today I went on a walk with my 3.5 month old in his pram, he wasn’t due a bottle but as nature calls he looked for a bottle and I couldn’t find anywhere for shade, laurels wasn’t open, passed east village (would usually go here and they would have no problem if you buy or don’t buy but I get a coffee here every day) Sat outside, which was empty and started to feed my son as a girl came out and said “you can’t feed here babe” I said babe? Never asked me did I need a coffee or such. I went inside said to the manager that it’s so warm out I can’t find shade and human nature calls a baby needs to be fed and he said that wasn’t his problem it was for his customers only, I said she never once asked did I need anything but there is no such thing left of empathy around here no wonder businesses close with that attitude! I had to leave with my baby crying and hungry, I would have bought the whole shop and more if I had to feed him. Would always give my business to East Village, living in Monastery and on Maternity leave I buy a lot of coffees, they’re so accommodating with babies and mothers, unlike boss hogs which is clearly always empty anyway!!

18/09/2026: The place is clean and the food was okay. Some staff members are nice, but others are extremely rude. I placed my order at around 7:20 pm, but the attendant was visibly frustrated and angry. She barely answered my questions because, apparently, she needed to close the place, even though it was supposed to remain open until 8 pm. I honestly felt as though I was doing something wrong simply by choosing this place as the only available option for my meal. Customers should not be made to feel unwelcome when ordering during the advertised opening hours. Considering the amount of negative reviews about the service over the past few months, it seems that the brand itself has shown very little interest in improving the customer experience. Absolutely terrible service. I do not recommend this place, and I sincerely hope Westwood takes some action to address these ongoing issues with customer service.

11/09/2026: Really happy with my experience here! The sandwich was fresh, tasty, and made exactly how I wanted, but what really stood out was the excellent service from Angelina. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I ordered. She was polite, patient, and made sure everything was prepared perfectly. Her warm attitude and genuine care for customers really made the experience stand out. You can tell Angelina takes pride in providing great service, and it definitely shows. Fantastic sandwich and exceptional customer service from Angelina — I’ll definitely be coming back!

20/08/2026: Chicken kung po with boiled rice, done in 15 min. Delicious food.

03/07/2026: Not great. Weird tiny chicken balls and too salty curry sauce spilling out of foil carton rather than contained in tub

07/08/2026: We'd normally go to Castello, but said we'd give this place a go for a change after seeing the Is It Worth It? review. Delighted we did! Ordered in there and had our food in about 10 minutes. First bonus was our 4 yr old got a lollipop when we came in, which went down a treat!! We got the diced chicken curry with fried rice, and the review wasn't wrong, it was really nice. We also got the salt & chilli chicken balls, chips and sweet & sour sauce. The chips were proper crispy, the chicken balls were lovely, and the fried rice was probably the nicest we've had from a take away in ages, really fresh and fluffy. The staff were really friendly, and the phones were hopping, which was great to see. We nearly didn't order after reading some of the older reviews, but glad we went for it. We'll definitely be back! 🖤✨️

25/05/2026: They don't have a card machine, only accept cash, don't have a website, delivery driver can't deliver to anywhere "outside of D12", even if it's an EIGHT MINUTE drive from the Takeaway. If they are looking to destroy their own business they are doing a fantastic job. I wonder if they are paying tax 🤔

24/08/2026: The Black Forest cake I purchased from Manning Bakery, Blanchardstown, was unfortunately not up to the standard I expected. The overall taste felt somewhat artificial, and the cream did not taste fresh. The cherry filling in particular had a very unusual and unpleasant taste, which affected the overall experience. I have purchased cakes from Manning Bakery before, including the milk chocolate cake and the fresh cream fruit cake, and both were quite good. Unfortunately, this Black Forest cake was a significant disappointment compared with my previous experiences. I hope the bakery can look into the quality and freshness of the cream and cherry filling, as I have generally had a good impression of their cakes in the past.

02/08/2026: Ordered before a few times with no issues but this week ordered a cake for collection and sent my sister to pick it up on the 1/08/26, there was two young girls and when she approached to pick up the cake they seemed like they weren’t bothered about serving her, she gave them the order number and they gave her the cake without opening and showing her to confirm it was all correct, she gets home and they’ve printed the wrong custom photo for the cake, I tried calling multiples times but no response. Later I went in to fix the problem and they said I could buy a new plain cake and id have to call head office on Tuesday to try get a refund. I understand it’s not their fault as they don’t print them in house but I can only imagine how stressful this would be for a parent if the wrong design was on their cake for a child. Won’t be returning

20/09/2026: The do lovely cakes, savoury treats and a good cup of coffee.

03/09/2026: Got a cake for a friend’s birthday that was way too sweet and dry from the inside. Never going back again.

21/07/2026: Takeout only. The quality of food depends, I suspect on whom they have cooking on that particular time. Sometimes they have it just right, other times it is below their standard.

29/05/2026: I got terrible food poisoning from this take away. Sick for the last 24 hours. Not recommended at all.

09/11/2026: Eggs Benedict were delicious, if expensive. Latte was good. Male server was very nice, friendly, polite. Female server (dark hair) was very cold, looked bored and scowling. It was very quiet in the cafe this morning, nice calm atmosphere

07/11/2026: Excellent service and great food. I highly recommend it.

03/10/2026: Rang to place and order for delivery. There was a group of us, paid €79 total and was left waiting for over an hour. Food was freezing when it eventually got to us. Me and my boyfriend ordered a munchy box to share, paid €24 alone for that. No rice or chips came, it was just a tiny box of noodles with 6 pieces of chicken in it. We rang to see could they send us what we actually ordered because the picture clearly wasn't the samw as what came and they wouldn't do anything about it. Disgraceful customer service and food was unacceptable. The food that did come was barley even edible. Chicken balls were the size of a tennis ball with a dice of chicken in the middle. Noodles tasted like rubber, most of it went in the bin. Will not be ordering again and I advise the same to everyone else.

03/10/2026: Chicken balls was the size of tennis ball but it was all batter with not much chicken i got a connor munchie box and there was no chips or rice in it about 4 pieces of chicken and the food was the worst food i have ever got out of a Chinese i will never order from here again and tell everybody that I no to never order from here again

15/06/2026: Had the nan sandwich with chicken, the flavours were so good but there was so much mayo (and I love mayo) that it made me feel nauseous. Also the chips were dipped back in the frier I’d say multiple times and not cooked fresh as they were pretty overcooked and very oily.

13/02/2026: The momo served here for 8 euros are not the authentic one. Just the ajinomoto brand chicken frozen gyozas that we get in asian shops. Not worth the money at all.

25/10/2026: Great delivery service fast and food always hot

24/08/2026: STAY WELL AWAY If I could leave a review for zero stars I would We ordered trough just eat to be called by a delivery driver 50 minutes later after we ordered to tell me he cant get to our house due to roads been blocked off ,been very cheeky and he advised we cancel,I then told him its 50 minutes since we ordered that we should of been advised at this stage ,I told him id ring the shop , I called the shop and spoke with a woman ,she advised me of delays and she apologised for the manner of the delivery driver and told me that my food would be with me by 11.15 latest and that she was really sorry for this I was OK with that as things happen and I was understanding 11.20 came and I called them ,I got a male on the phone that told me it was been packed and it will be on the way It's now half 12.15 and we have received no food,no phone call,nothing just forgot about us ,I have rang just eat and they have processed a refund This is absolutely disgraceful to think that this place can do this to customers that has paid money ,they told me absolute lies repeatedly on the phone that the order will be with us and that it's on the way only for nobody to show up ,the premises to be locked up and be forgotten about In my view a company like this should not have any customers and they aut to be ashamed of themselves absolute cons to the highest!!!!!!

05/09/2026: Terrible establishment. The order was supposed to be delivered at 7:30 PM, but by 9 PM it still hadn’t arrived. When we called, the staff member didn’t even know about our order. She then said she had found it and proceeded to hang up on us several times.

25/06/2026: Absolutely shocking food, pizza was like cardboard, burnt to a crisp. Chip all broken and looked like leftovers in the box and you could taste the flour raw flour or whatever they used on the chicken tenders
