The best restaurants in Dublin

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.

08/02/2026: I have being ordering food from good fortune for 15 years and last night our order was absolutely dreadful, greasy slop. When I rang to complain they refused to offer me anything by way of compensation. This is my first complaint but they were no help. I will never order food from here again , food was dreadful and service dreadful

31/01/2026: Food has gone to the dogs, not a bit of flavour. So much oil, and the satay sauce tasted like a cup of dirty oil and left overs

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

13/02/2026: Ginzeng is the goat. I can only hope this chain expands further.

06/12/2025: It was quiet when we went. Chinese food is the same everywhere.

20/01/2026: Food was unhygienic and staff was uninterested in taking order.

11/01/2026: Went here for a sub, asked for lettuce, tomato, red onion and chipotle and they only had onion. My partner asked for a sub with just bacon on it and they put 3 strips of small bacon on it and then they said they would have to charge extra for more (first time I ever seen this) Staff were rude and argumentative especially considering their slogan is ‘eat fresh’ yet they have no salads… we told them we didn’t want the subs and left. Went to airside subway instead and we got a completely different experience. Won’t return to this location ever again.

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.

08/03/2026: Staff was friendly but got Severe food poisoning from one of their burgers. Was sick multiple times that night. Would worry about their food safety standards.

08/02/2026: Staff is very good and food was so good

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

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

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…

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.

22/03/2026: 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....

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.

12/09/2025: The one in Celbridge is top quality.

29/08/2025: We ordered off of just eat, very over priced and ths food did not match up to the descriptions given. Tenders were cold and soggy with little to no seasoning, told we would recieve crinkle cut fries but instead recieved oven chips i could have made myself for €1.50 Was very suspicious when i called the fast food restaraunt i was informed that i was talking to someone who was working in eddie rockets which leads me to believe this place is most likely a 'dark kitchen' probably using leftovers. Save your money and dont buy this absolute muck.

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
