The best restaurants in Dublin

06/10/2025: Authentic pub experience with the locals! Got to watch the horse racing and enjoy some proper pours.

24/09/2025: O’Riordan in Finglas is an absolute kip. My friend and I were sitting outside, peacefully enjoying a few pints, when a bouncer came over out of nowhere and told us to leave—no explanation, no warning, nothing. Being treated this way was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. Honestly, this place should not even get 1 star. The staff’s behavior is shocking, and the overall atmosphere is terrible. I strongly advise anyone considering visiting to think twice.

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.

26/10/2025: Good food, the dinner chicken meal is good value for money.

10/08/2025: Twice now I have ordered food from here and clearly left a comment in order notes to have my kebab completely plain due to severe allergies and the wrong order has arrived twice will not be ordering from here again

09/11/2025: A satay sauce that looks white?

27/10/2025: Incredibly disappointed by what is, quite frankly, fraudulent advertising. Ordered a large chilli fries (5e) but was stunned when it was half a bag and the 6.50e child's meal (including 3 sausages, 3 nuggets, chips and a can) had MORE chips than their apparent large chilli chips. Called as we in our naively assumed they'd given us the wrong size in error and were told they only had one size! More than happy to overcharge via their app and not to offer to refund the difference when questioned. Whilst in one order its not a significant difference, I can only imagine they're doing this to multiple products. It's incredibly disappointing as it feels really unethical, if you only offer one size/option, have one price, don't charge more and refuse to make it right when you've been called out. I'd always prefer to support local but this isn't a great experience from somewhere I'd visit regularly.

09/10/2025: Top service from the manager Sal and the team. Food was great too

06/10/2025: After a long day of travel from the UK I wanted something "fresh", Brambles didn't disappoint. Veggie quiche, with carrot salad and morrocan couscous salad with a latte was my choice. Great that the salads weren't smothered in dressing, plain just as I like them. Using a walking aid I was wondering how to get to a table. No problem my tray was carried to an empty & clean table without any asking. The quiche was warm and with the cold salads plus green leaves was just the fresh hit I needed. The latte was still hot when I'd finished eating, bonus. I'd definitely walk up there again, just for the food and service.

17/09/2025: I waited 15 minutes for the most expencive and worst kebap of my life

15/09/2025: The sandwich I ordered was incredibly oily and in poor condition. I was concerned from the start when I saw the food being prepared behind a door. Unfortunately, the quality was as bad as I feared, and the excess oil gave me a stomachache. I suggest following a proper recipe and being more transparent about food preparation.

23/01/2026: 3 times in a row before they allowed a refund..so disappointed. this was a few months ago

18/01/2026: The worst KFC I have ever had. Absolutely disgusting. Do not eat here !

08/11/2025: Very disappointing experience. The Szechuan duck was sour, the vegetables were raw, and the rice tasted stale. Overall, the meal was completely uneatable. I won’t be ordering from here again.

19/09/2025: Food is nice but way over priced. €7 for a small tray of curry chips that had a drizzle of sauce ? €7.50 for 5 chicken balls. I won't be ordering again.

23/01/2026: Ordered a pizza, the delivery driver rang to say he was outside, he had the wrong address 2 mins around the corner, waiting outside for 25 mins. Rang the shop to get some info, engaged in a 40 min circuit of me ringing and them saying the delivery driver was on his way. After 40 mins I eventually said I was going to request a refund which was accepted, and that they would call the delivery driver again. What actually happened was they cancelled the order and the driver went back to the shop. Terrible service from not only the delivery driver, but the customer service assistant also. Surely reading an Eircode is a simple task and providing customer service isn’t rocket science.

16/12/2025: Cost €27 for pizza and €4 for deliver it is gone up by €1.50 cent when i told staff last time i order from there the girl throw the money at me and was not happy naver order here again and app wont let you give it no stars if you try then you cant put up your post sad

12/11/2025: Walking in to an empty building was the 1st sign some thing was a miss. 1st stop in through a door. Elephant and Castle had to leave there and go in a different door. No greeting no hello just a moody teenager with zero interest in working or asking if she could help. After sitting in an empty pub for 10 mins I asked could I order. I was told to go to the far end of the bar and order. I did this and returned to my seat. After 15 mins I enquired as to time frame for food. To be told did I not hear them calling my number??? I was the other end of the pub in a different room with music playing. Food was ok, seasoned chips are over kill not pleasant. Considered asking for a refund, but the head on the one behind the bar, I decided to leave it. Not worth a pit stop.

27/10/2025: Our burgers were mushy from oil… I’m after waking up there from a bad stomach, vomitting Judging from the last lot of reviews, you should really improve the standards of the food here, if all you are receiving is complaints and upset stomachs… Disappointing

05/12/2025: Chicken came pink when i called up to say to them they told me they cant do anything as they just closed 🤮

08/02/2025: Index is gone. The security staff, who many people have mentioned before, were an issue. I was there with my girlfriend and had a bean bag with me. One of the bouncers jokingly called it a "lady bag" and kept laughing at me. I didn’t want to argue with him because I knew he wouldn’t let me in after, but honestly, some basic customer service would be nice. I paid for my ticket, which helps pay their wages, so a little professionalism isn’t too much to ask. I get that they don’t need to be geniuses, but hiring staff with at least some common sense and a professional attitude would go a long way. The security checks also feel more intense than at an international airport. And maybe try opening on time? We know you’re the only club in Dublin, so we don’t have many options, but this is Ireland—it’s windy, and it rains. Standing outside for an hour in that weather is enough to make anyone sick. I used to love Index, not gonna lie.

01/02/2025: Mind the bouncers, they will sack you for the minimal reason or not let you go in if you arrive late doesn't matter if you have the ticket already.

05/02/2026: Every time order delivery the sour and ketchup always missing. Chicken is also dry feels like few days ago.

24/01/2026: Bileal at McDonald’s Blackrock deserves a special mention for his customer service. He was friendly, calm, and genuinely helpful from the moment I spoke to him. My order was missing sauce, even though it did not come as standard, and he went out of his way to sort it for me without any fuss. It might sound like a small thing, but the way he handled it showed real care for the customer. He made the whole experience easy and pleasant, and it is staff like Bilal who make a place worth coming back to.

15/12/2025: I've collected takeaway from here a few times in recent weeks. I typically ordered crispy chicken and black bean noodles. I found them pretty good and decent value. Recommended

03/12/2025: 10/10 every time and lovely staff/drivers
