The best restaurants in Dublin

28/03/2025: So bad, forgot 2 items and delivery driver asked ME why the previous person accepted my items. He told me he was going back to get them. I told him not to worry I was going to ring the store. Store told me don’t worry he was going back to get them. It took me 10 minutes to explain I didn’t want food that was after being in someone else’s house. They offered me store credit. I said no thank you I’d rather have what I ordered. They put me on hold. Came back then to tell me yeah that’s ok the driver is still in your area. I said no sorry I don’t want food that’s been sitting in someone else’s house the past 15 minutes? I didn’t get anywhere. I was delivered the 2 missing items and they went in the bin. Couldn’t take a chance. Never again. Don’t trust the food safety practices after that

27/12/2024: I live outside walking distance but well inside driving distance yet I still manage to get "warm" pizza and cold chips every time.

05/07/2024: Best Chinese takeaway in Dublin! We get the chicken curry and the crispy chicken in peking sauce. They always call to confirm the order and it is delivered hot and fast.

05/11/2024: Maps says it closes at 11pm, but if u go there at 10pm it's already closed... so why keep false information?

09/01/2025: This place is grim and the guy behind the counter is awful. Needs a serious cleaning, food is average at best

09/01/2025: Was OK but wouldn't be ordering again after seeing Food Safety Authority report. More than just a slip up, implies the staff are all dirty but didn't care. Rat dropping even in the box to store clean gloves Quote below: "Evidence of non-compliance: There is heavy rodent (rat) activity in the premises. This was evidenced by: The presence of multiple fresh rat droppings in multiple areas throughout the shared kitchen including; around the hot water cylinder to the rear of the premises, around the lobby leading to the rear dry goods store and staff changing area, in the staff toilet, in the attic, in a plastic container storing rubber gloves, on food packaging stored to the front of the kitchen, in the dry goods store under shelving to the front of the kitchen and in the attic and other areas throughout the shared kitchen. A hole had been chewed through the wall in the dry goods store to the front of the shared kitchen, in a manner consistent with rat activity. Open ready to eat foods such as sushi/sashimi, noodles, chips and sauces were present in the kitchen which rodents were likely to have had contact with. Food and food packaging which rodents have come into contact with is likely to be contaminated with harmful pathogens such as Salmonella spp. which rodents carry on their paws and excrete in their urine and faeces. This renders the food produced in these conditions likely to be unsafe and thus poses a grave an immediate risk to public health."

16/03/2025: First time I went it was alright, but second time unfortunately was just incredibly salty which overpowered any other flavour

23/11/2024: Very nice staff most helpful people working behind the counter and delivery drivers definitely recommend the shredded chicken wrap or beef chow mein

22/03/2025: I was wondering why you asked me my name. happy day I would like to visit again if I have a chance

02/03/2025: I am surprised that the toilet for customer was closed for couple of hours due to its cleaning. When I asked why it takes so long to clean answer was it is clean and takes couple of hours to dry 🫣

28/03/2025: We ordered a Kebab, the worst one ever tried in dublin. My review is only about kebab, may be other products are good. If my review hurts the organisation, I am extremely sorry about this.

05/03/2025: Amazing food 👌 everyone is so nice in the shop 👌 definitely will be coming back 👏

10/03/2025: We always order Manning's Belgian chocolate birthday cakes, but the quality has deteriorated over the last year. Cheap hundreds & thousands on the side edging of the cake instead of the previous delicious Belgian chocolate flakes. Meanwhile the price has increased. Bring back the quality flakes please!

04/03/2025: Recently ordered a Belgian chocolate mud cake to be delivered for a Birthday. Very tasty with great attention to detail and the delivery driver was also very nice. Would recommend.

30/03/2025: Ur service is ass and annoying I’m pissed waiting 30 mins for my food even more time actually honestly

30/03/2025: i have been waiting 30 minutes for my food and yet not a sight of anything. unbelievable.

17/01/2025: A very good place to stop by for something to have dinner at home, I loved the garlic mushrooms, and I ordered a mini box and it is 3 pieces of chicken and potatoes, enough for me alone.

10/01/2025: Exceptional experience. Excellent food!

10/04/2025: As soon as we walked through the doors we we're greeted by a lovely girl behind the counter, (I didn't get her name but she wore glasses) with a "hello " and a smile. I had the single stack with fries, my wife had single burger with cheesey fries. Food was very good and so were the portions. Will definitely call in again.

01/04/2025: Was just in for food which was really yum but the best thing was the two ladies who were on the close on the 1st of April were super friendly and I’d go back just because of their service !! :-))

31/03/2025: Highly recommended. We had breakfast on the top floor twice during our stay and will 100% return. Everything was delicious, a very wide choice between sautéed and sweet breakfasts, many dishes to satisfy any desire and palate. Lots of juices, yogurt and coffee, spectacular croissants and scones. If it's sunny I strongly recommend sitting on the outdoor terrace. It's almost like being in a movie, staff not the nicest, typical of Dublin waiters/bartenders.

10/03/2025: Inside you can find literally everything. The place is well organized and well stocked

28/03/2025: Not what it use to be very disappointed 😕

17/01/2025: I have been a loyal customer of this bakery for 25 years, but ever since the change in ownership, it has sadly gone downhill. Prices have skyrocketed, and quality has taken a nosedive. The bakery has completely changed its once-beloved products, and the results are deeply disappointing. The fresh rolls, which used to be a highlight, now resemble soft, doughy, inedible lumps. The egg mayonnaise is unappetising, and the cakes and muffins have not only shrunk in size but also lost the taste and quality they were known for. Portions are smaller, corners are being cut, and the atmosphere of the bakery is no longer the same with an entirely new staff. I decided to give it one last try today, but ended up throwing out my lunch – something I’ve never had to do in all my years of visiting. I understand that things change, but the drastic cuts to quality and the overhaul of already popular products is a short-sighted decision that will likely drive away loyal customers in the long run. It’s such a shame to see what was once a beautiful, well-loved bakery with friendly, familiar staff reduced to this. Many others I know feel the same and have stopped going altogether. I, too, won’t be returning.

20/02/2025: Extremely rude and food never came. I called to place an order. The man on the phone the whole time was rude from the start and uncooperative. I asked a simple question on the size options and the price for a kebab tray. He instantly was annnoyed and said “do not have time for this go order online or something” and hung up. I called again after a few minutes and this time they took my order. After 2 hours of waiting I realised they were never going to come. Never came across such a rude and disrespectful place.

31/12/2024: I bought a cake from the Phibsborough shop on Saturday, the 21st, and was assured by the staff that it would stay fresh until the next day. But when I opened the box on Sunday, the strawberries were moldy, and the cake tasted awful. We had to throw the whole thing away—it was completely inedible. I contacted customer service, and on December 30th, they told me they couldn’t refund me because I had thrown the cake out (as if I was supposed to keep a moldy cake in my house for over a week!). They offered me a free replacement cake instead, but after such a terrible experience, there’s no way I’d want another cake from them. In short, they sell moldy cakes, and even when you show detailed photos, they refuse to refund you. I wouldn’t recommend Thunders to anyone. There’s a Tesco right next door that sells fresh cakes for half the price—and they’re actually good!
