The best restaurants in Dublin

19/02/2026: Made the order, accepted by the restaurant and 10 minutes of being delivered basically got a call saying is too far and they don’t do that delivery. It’s 3km away (just for record) and 9 minutes by car. So just lost 30 minutes waiting for an order that was never going to arrive… absolutely disgusting behaviour.

27/01/2026: Great take away, Ordered Fish & chips (cod) it was fabulous, also got a american fried chicken breast very good too.Definately will be back,& recommend.

29/12/2025: When you arrive at Vela restaurant, the welcome is friendly and they have great menus.

01/12/2025: Vela is now Sheela's Palace. The place has a lot of potential and can accommodate large groups and big gatherings. The place also has plenty of parking, so that shouldn’t be an issue. The food was tasty, with plenty of dishes, especially from Malabar. The price was reasonable too. You get both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options for about 22 euros per person, drinks not included. The atmosphere was good, but the cleanliness, lighting and temperature need attention. The lighting was dim, the space was quite cold and a few of the dishes were cold as well. Overall it isn’t a bad option, and the experience could be much better if the points above are addressed.

12/09/2025: Best spice bag I ever had I bring all my mates here. Nothing hits better then an andrews spice bag man

07/07/2025: In fairness I haven’t eaten in Andrews since Covid began. I checked the menu tonight to discover that for example Malaysian curry but no description of what’s in the curry. Just extras ie Boiled rice or fried rice. Yes you can pick your protein or veg but what else s as re they putting in. Also how hot is the curry

25/11/2025: Very nice place! Thanks to Iulia from the deli!

16/11/2025: Staff are unbelievably rude. Witnessed a staff member dealing the person behind me in the queue and she was so unprofessional. The woman asked for a sandwich and she said could she have it toasted, the woman behind the till said “yeah well you have to show me which one you want like” she couldn’t have said it any cheekier if she tried. The woman behind me was a bit upset after the interaction and I was disgusted. It takes absolutely nothing to be nice to someone, especially when it’s this time of the year.

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.

11/12/2025: Lovely hotel, great price and location. Would definitely go back.

10/12/2025: Really Disappointing experience with Paramount hotel i recently visited in December 2025. The room had no ventilation and there was really bad smell in room coming from toilets like Urination, even after spraying perfumes and doing all possible stuff it felt like puking all time couldn’t sleep all night as bed was just beside toilet. The room was not so spacious it was bathroom sized rooms. Worst worst worst experience i ever had. I recommend everyone who is reading this review please consider booking another hotel as this will give you Trauma for life…

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

05/03/2026: Ordered a mega box for 21 euro! There was about 8 chips no veg and 8 pieces of shredded chicken. Never again

05/10/2025: Am I the only one who likes the spice bag 😞 - 1 star for the one fork per order rule

17/04/2026: Great place to get local Chinese grub during the day. Quick and tasty.

02/04/2026: We need a food regulator in thus country that actully dose a good job The quality of the food here is beyond bad, Chiken was inedible, chewy or rock hard and for the price of it 14 euro for the 4 item box

25/08/2025: Unfortunately, it seems to be closed forever. 😢

02/08/2025: The bar here now is not the same one that garnered all the good reviews (against the grain). Google should reset the ratings, the bar here now is miserable.

22/04/2026: I placed a phone and when I g When t home with it, it was wrong. When I called the girl said it was my fault because I ordered incorrectly. I asked would she change it she said no. I returned the order to the shop. STAY AWAY, shocking service and awful attitude.

12/01/2026: spice bag beautifully seasoned but chicken is like chewing on me moths left tit after she got de implants,,, the chips were soggier than an aul ones ghee, appauling service. curry sauce is like a pot full of scuttery runny shite. and the chili was like blood after dropping a massive log from my hole. lady at the counter screamed at me and verbally abused me.

24/03/2026: Ordered from just eat .courier just left it in a lane .I taught they need last 2 digits. He wouldn't come back .rang shop no help watso ever .

23/03/2026: Best taco fries in Ireland period

09/02/2026: Chips were horrible and the hole lot in general was cold waited over an hour for delivery

24/10/2025: Would not recommend i have twice experience of scam if spicebag prawns u wont get it they just put 3 pieces from top of your food rest is regular. I recommend checking the food before going out the shop and check inside if its right toppings etc.. Otherwised they still charge u tthe full amount when u just getting nothing from u order.

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.
