The best restaurants in Dublin

20/02/2026: I hadn't been to the Borza in years, and called in last Saturday night. Is was about 9.30pm so well before the after pub rush, the service was quick, but the cod and chips was terrible, the outside of the batter was crispy, but there was a layer of raw batter between it and the fish, the single of chips wasn't huge, and the portion of garlic mushrooms was miserable, just eight small ones for €4. This was disappointing , what has happened to the Borza of old. I'll be heading to the Roma around the corner from now on.

30/12/2025: The chips are very good , and the chicken burgers are nicely crispy. However , I've noticed in the past few months the portion sizes ( especially for meals ) have become far smaller despite staying the same price relative to inflation . The employees are all very friendly , the premises is clean .

10/08/2025: Hi how’s it going my son was in at ur pub today roughly at about 11:30 he was told no straight away by the bouncer lorcan he has had problem there before where he was told to come back in a month or 2 he left it for 3 to 4 months and rang up to confirm he was allowed back he apologised multiple times and was let in last week tonight he asked to speak to manager or head bouncer about why the bouncers wore saying no he then spoke to mark in oriordans and explained everything he then went back around to try speak to them he told them he was let in last week with no problem they then assaulted him and grabbed him by back of his head and twisted his hands he said I can walk by myself please and they continued

31/07/2025: I recommend it, I will come again at the first opportunity, attention, respect and tolerance are all there, see you as soon as possible, best regards.

03/01/2026: Going here along time food normally alright sometimes wrong item and miserable nachos but what make it a disgrace is i ordered it was later but still well in opening time they accepted order but when I went to pick it up the man who is terrible at his job i hate when he's there tells me there closing early after I stand at door and have to really wait and get his attention as he tried ignoring me waving there closed though he knew me before so knew why I was asking. I don't know why there closing and not saying on app as I i was able to make order and worse he accepted it if declined i get it but taking my money and then refusing to make my order he even had nerve ta admit he saw order but wouldn't refund me or let me get it tomorrow instead and was very disrespectful terrible place I know some have good experience but trust me they don't care to help you only keeping money don't go if your worried about being conned.

06/02/2026: Food is great if it ever comes! The last few months has really gone downhill- it now takes minimum an hour to arrive. The two times I’ve tried to phone up, once because my order took 2 and a half hours to arrive, and the second because I received the wrong order I was basically just told pfft not my problem you need to sort it out yourself. Would not recommend unless they sort out their delivery situation

26/01/2026: If I had known prior that crab legs weren't, you know, actual crab legs, but rather a lovecraftian abomination. Baby crab craws stuffed into a battered imitation fish ball, it was horrifying see video attached. I immediately had to throw those, and looked forward to tuck into the rest. To save a lengthy review. Sweet sour sauce- like syrup. Chicken chow mean anemic. Rice, alright but pork been cooked cooked at different time to rice. But the worst thing was; I ate a chicken ball to recover from the crab legs, and the batter.. it was fried in same oil as the crab legs. So all I could imagine while eating was little emaciated crabclaws sticking out of a ball of flesh. The taste after four forkfuls of the remaining ballast, left a lasting foul taste in my mouth, and I actually had to chuck away all of it, and rinse my mouth out twice with listerine. Im considering court action due to the PTSD I suffer since I ordered an hour ago

24/01/2026: Very poor experience. We were given a voucher as a gift to use at this restaurant. We arrived to the Gibson at 7.45 for our reservation at that time - got seated etc. We got our menus and waited for someone to come back to take our order or even drinks order. We had to get someone’s attention (at this stage it was after 8pm). She came back to us and asked us if we wanted “the good news or the bad news”. She told us the bad news was the kitchen is now closed (??) so we can’t order but she can bring us to the bar and we can use our voucher there. I told her i thought this was absolutely outrageous because someone just sat us down and never told us about having to order before 8, nor did anyone try to get our order in before the deadline, and she said she agreed with me but that she wasn’t the person who greeted us at the start. Food in the bar was fine. We eventually got our first drink at 8.30 - 45 mins after we arrived. When the bill came they knew nothing about our gift voucher which we handed to the initial lady, and they had to go searching around for her and the voucher. We couldn’t help but laugh at how poorly this night had gone. If you’re getting dinner in the area before a concert, would recommend Ruby’s, the Mayson or Cill Airne over this establishment.

11/01/2026: Poorly prepared steak and hygiene issues. Ordered a medium-rare steak and received it medium-well, clearly overcooked on a dirty grill with burnt residue. Replacement arrived 15 minutes later and was still wrong, medium to medium-well, while the other person's food was getting cold so she had to eat alone. For the price, the quality is not acceptable. You can get better steak elsewhere in town, even for less. Chips were cold, and the vinegar bottle was dirty with a fly inside. Yes, a fly inside. Disgusting. What i received here i can make at home on any frying pan. When we arrived, the tables were messy and we were seated anyway. During our entire stay, staff continued setting up around us, constantly moving tables, chairs, and walking by. For a restaurant at this price level, everything should be ready before guests arrive. The constant movement made the experience uncomfortable and not relaxing at all. I took a few weeks to write this review to make sure I wasn't doing it out of anger, but the food was so disgusting that I can't help but feel that way again.

18/08/2025: Rude and they give you a hand full of chips terrible value

18/08/2025: This chipper can’t be for real the portions are tiny. You make me ashamed to be Irish

09/11/2025: Hi recently brought a fudge brownie and I bite into it and to my surprised I bite into a nail. The shop assistant was very accommodating. She replaced the brownie and gave another from a new batch and gave two But she didn’t throw out the old batch which is why I’m writing this review and when I spoke about it , the concern was about other people hearing. She did apologise and said the cake comes out another store. And said they would investigate. I ended up throwing out the two brownies because I was scared to eat them and kinda feel sick thinking about it. Thinking about it has me so disgusted about It. It honestly has turned me off buying from them again. I wish I took a picture but just was so shocked

26/09/2025: I have been a regular costumer in mannings blanchardstown but my experience today was very disappointed I bought 1slice of lemon cake and 3 slice of red velvet but the new young girl staff give me 2 and 3/4 slice of red velvet and 1 slice of lemon cake and I told the staff to change the 3/4 slice of red velvet cake but instead of changing the 3/4 slice of cake she change the perfect slice one. Hoping next time that they will make the costumer very satisfied she is not friendly as well. I paid for the full price amount but not satisfied for the cake that I received.

10/04/2026: The dirt of the outside drive thru is a disgrace. Litter everywhere and looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in days. Warm, flat drink. Never again.

08/04/2026: Place was very dirty and the food was cold

25/04/2026: Great place for dumplings. Avoid the buffet and ask the lovely staff about the dumplings. They're handmade and super tasty! The lamb and carrot filled dumplings were especially delicious. I recommend the lamb and carrot dumplings.

01/04/2026: Very affordable all-you-can-eat. The service is friendly and attentive. The food wasn't anything special, but the view was lovely.

10/05/2026: I'll start with the positives, extra piece of chicken in snack box, driver was a gent, Followed note Chips tasted like where cooked last week, Chicken was nice but skin was soggy.. I'll take my tune ordering again Used to be lovely

17/04/2026: I get food here regularly - always the same thing, chicken burger & chips. Large portions of homemade chips and quality chicken burger. Lady behind the counter chats if it’s not busy but there’s always a crowd. I’m just about to go up now 👍

23/01/2026: Ordered online and never received my order. When I called them after waiting 2 hours twice they told me they already delivered it. Midway while explaining that I have not received my order they then hung up on me (Network issue? Or just hung up I dont know). I'll have to request a refund via customer support. EDIT: I have received my refund. Customer Support was very helpful at resolving the issue.

17/01/2026: Tyrelstown Pizza Hut-Avoid! Shocker of a place. Completely disorganised and mismanaged. Order a pizza online, for collection, go in twenty minutes later and you are made stand around another 25 minutes while they start making it! Girl making pizza also comes to the counter to get the orders and handle money! Delivery drivers hang around inside helping the staff by handling food and throwing it into the baskets to cook! Dominoes around the corner opened and will probably drive this place out before the FSA do.

24/09/2025: This place is gone to the dogs! How can you get a simple bag of chips so wrong!!

14/09/2025: A fantastic chipper, very friendly staff, great food.

22/03/2026: Avoid this Chinese at all costs!!! Wish I could give this lower than 1 star. Used to order from here about a year ago and loved the shredded chicken, ordered again for the first time since and the chicken is completely different to before. It was disgusting, stringy, purple????and completely raw - it went straight in the bin it was inedible, I genuinely don’t know how they can serve food like that. Afterwards I came and looked at the other reviews because I actually thought I had made a mistake and ordered from the wrong restaurant by accident but unfortunately not, it just seems to be a common thing that they don’t cook their chicken for any of their customers now 🤷‍♀️

21/01/2026: Have been ordering food form here on and off for 3 years.. today all I can say was its was dirt.. the photo attached is meant to be salt and chillies chips.. but yet its the dregs of the chip pan.. the curry sauce you could build a wall with its that thick. . And as portion of chicken balls is 10.. so how is a half portion 4....

07/09/2025: Dont order off their website!! We ordered for delivery, and an hour later went to check if it had been sent out, only to be told that their website often glitches and dumps the order, now we've no food en route an hour later, and have to wait 48hours for a refund. They couldn"t even take our order over the phone to rectify it although they freely admitted that it was their tech that caused the problem! (And frequently does so but only solution is to order again) I havent ordered in a while but the food certainly used to be good, although reading recent reviews fills me with doubt on that still being the case! Sort out the website lads!!

19/07/2025: Visited Wingman in Clontarf recently and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The burgers were just ok didn’t resemble the photos they post on Instagram. Looked and tasted pretty average, like something you’d throw together at home in a hurry. The loaded truffle fries were completely inedible. Soggy, oddly textured, and absolutely drowned in an overpowering artificial truffle flavor. Couldn’t even finish them. We also tried the chicken wings, which were dry, overcooked, and barely had any sauce on them. For a place called “Wingman”, I expected way better especially when wings are supposed to be a highlight. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming no complaints there. For the €57 we spent between two people, we expected something far more enjoyable. Overall, it felt overpriced for the quality we got. Safe to say we won’t be rushing back.

30/01/2026: Southern fried chicken was awful, bland. Curry sauce not the best. Chips were nice though

16/01/2026: Got a smoke cod and not jocking a i had bigger fish fingers.what a rip off
