The best restaurants in Dublin

23/12/2025: Frequent customer for two years and got really awful food poisoning today from a spice bag.

15/12/2025: Just got food here in fairview branch today not some of the food ALL the food had to binned full of oil and grees, Absolutely disgusting NEVER had food this bad before

28/08/2025: Went looking for an eight euro sandwich. They are always excellent. Was told that there wasn't enough white bread left. Was offered Sandwich on Brown. Can't eat Brown bread. Rang manager and told her it was a thundering disgrace.(note I didn't say SHE was a thundering disgrace). She was arrogant and said she wouldn't be abused. I never said SHE was a thundering disgrace.

05/06/2025: Not just the best sandwich, but the best lunch you'll get in Dun Laoghaire. Recommend the club, you wont be left hungry!

27/11/2025: The ingredients that I was served were from probably the day before or so How come that lettuce, onions and tomatoes, such simple and easy to get vegetables be rotten in such a shop Anyway I also paid 6.20 … for all this scrap food

22/11/2025: Food was good. The owner was shouting aggressively at the staff though.

15/11/2025: Raheny Chinese used to be the best in the Area but over the past few years especially after covid their food portions have halved in size their chicken balls and skewered chicken satay are a disgrace tiny portions but prices have increased substantially . Meat and shellfish in their curries have shrunk substantially. Shrinkflation at its worst with prices approaching what restaurants charge.

02/11/2025: So, we ordered it for delivery… the food came relatively on time. But, instead of fried noodles we got probably the most plain fried rice we have eaten. The spring roll had nothing to do with spring and was fatter than the french fries at Mcdonalds. We could sqish the oil out of it. It would be nice if that has been declared. We got chips as an extra so that was nice and everything was packaged well.

20/12/2025: I used to visit this place quite often for their hot chocolate and always enjoyed it. However, over the past two days, the taste has been disappointing and not at all what it used to be. It felt bland and inconsistent, which was surprising given my previous good experiences here. I hope they improve the quality again, because this used to be one of my go-to spots.

12/11/2025: Had ty ball here nothing to remeber place says buzz on the walls yet its as queit as a graveyard get more fun sitting at home with a pringles can glove and sponges not worth the your time stay as far away as possible

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.

14/12/2025: Very unfortunate that the food delivery went awfully wrong but I was accused of deliberately tricking them. Never placed an order from this place nor will I ever again. Very sad indeed!

16/11/2025: This place has been consistently excellent for myself and everyone I've recommended it to. The curries are beautiful and if you're unsure what to order, the staff are more than accommodating to help you. The waiting time for delivery is always quick. I must also mention all the chicken is proper fresh breast meat. Also the portions aren't left short. Can't recommend enough.

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

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 🤮

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.

09/02/2026: Best Chinese in the Santry area by a mile. Ordered well over 100 times and was only disappointed once. Foods always flavorful and portions are massive. Bit pricy, but I don’t mind paying for the quality. Keep it up

02/02/2026: I have been ordering from this gourmet kitchen for quite some time and only recently I placed an order of beef curry and rice unfortunately when I Came home all I got was curry sauce and onions no beef. I ordered again a few weeks later beef curry and rice and crisp shredded chicken and chips they tried to over charge me when the order should be 24e they asked for 33e I only paid 24e. I will not be ordering from gourmet kitchen again very disappointed with the service

25/02/2026: It's a good food, I liked it. And Great service from the staff and Gowtham is super friendly and great work

24/02/2026: very good food and and Amzad is super kind

09/01/2026: Very low quality items that he fixes your phone with he only cares about money not quality he put 30hz screen when you are supposed to use only oled never go to this shop

23/12/2025: Very very good customer service from young boy obaid very nice and cheap price in City highly recommended

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.
