The best restaurants in Dublin

31/03/2026: Ordered a spice bag, but the frozen chicken is not cooked and taste like hell. Ver bad

22/02/2026: Absolutely vile food, got a special curry and the meat was rotten, bone in chicken, prawns were like rubber, wasn't edible, steer clear of this place, worse Chinese I've ever ordered,

31/07/2025: Fair play, they did food for near zero in pandemic for 2 years, they survived. They changed model. Yes they do food for refugees, it's a great great success story for the noggin. Begrudging these hard working people is ridiculous. They Employ a lot of people and do lots for local charities and teams.

10/04/2025: Makes millions from refugee's Using Irish taxpayers money

16/04/2025: Refrain from ordering from this establishment. This online ordering operates as a fraudulent scheme. Upon placing an order, they falsely claim that communication has been unsuccessful and that delivery is not possible. Furthermore, they fail to provide a refund, demonstrating a complete lack of professionalism and customer service.

21/03/2025: I don't know why is such a problem for this - and specificly for this - shop to send plain burger if I ordered so? And also female Indian drivier is giving three to four phone calls unable to deliver to the doors.

21/02/2026: One Karin works there. Amazing personality 🤮

05/02/2026: Website said the cafe closes 9 pm but it is only 7:30 pm and the staff told me to leave and the sitting area is closed now. It is so small to even call a cafe. The have only 6 small tables and the staffs are also so rude.

23/09/2025: Pastry is dense and not fresh, beverage is cold. Everything is obviously defrosted and old. Don’t waste your time coming here!

07/09/2025: Keep the oven open please. The pastries are tasty but coooooold :(

15/12/2025: Grabbed two foot long Christmas subs on my way home. The bread was stale and the sub wasn’t very good! Really disappointing.

12/11/2025: How the hell did my 6 inch cost €10? And as an avid subway point collecter I didn’t get my points. I’ll be back for them though.

21/12/2025: I got food poisoning from a burrito here yesterday and still suffering. Extremely bland burrito with low quality super-market ingredients. Thank goodness I didn't finish it or I would have been even more sick.

11/02/2026: We booked a meal for eight of us on Jan 17th 2026 after the miss siagon show in Bord Gais. Firstly they hadn't got our booking but accommodated us after a little wait. The first notable thing was the really poor service. It was very obvious from the start that they had a lot of new waiting staff that were very poorly trained. All the staff that served us had little understanding of English and we had to repeat ourselves several times to make sure they got the correct orders. Two of our party were coeliacs and we had to explain this and wait until they checked with a manager every time we asked about it. Eventually they brought a supervisor over who was able to explain what was gluten free. To be honest we felt so sorry for the young staff that seemed out of their debt. Eventually when the food arrived, it was all right but just all right. For such a well known hotel the food was very average and disappointing, plain and very low standard. I would not recommend this to anyone unless overall standards improved.

24/12/2025: It says open today but its a big fat lie. They are closed the entire christmas. False advertising this.

26/10/2025: I ordered pancakes and the women taking my order just walked off without specifying what ones and just gave me kids Nutella ones definitely won’t be coming back

25/09/2025: Coffee Machine always dirty, portafilters and baskets with old coffee are not cleaned before the next order, no recipe used, barista was not able to explain their coffee or recipe when asked about taste of the coffee, which was weird. I am a Gym member and like the vibe, but food safety there is not great.

28/03/2026: Unfortunately, we encountered an awful situation. They were super discriminative against women. They were very disrespectful and awful when asked for an order, and made fun of us because we were from abroad. Never going back to this place.

04/03/2026: Kebabs shocking, pizza slice decent. Entertainment at 3:30am exceptional

07/01/2026: It would be good if they worked with gloves, but people don't work with gloves in the kitchen. When you handle money with gloves, you shouldn't touch the food with those same gloves.

26/11/2025: I’m a regular costumer in abrakababra and I usually order from different branches depending on where I am how ever my order today the chips were unseasoned ,I also ordered taco fries and they had to much onions and tasted off and I didn’t receive my drink when I tried to call the store they didn’t pick up I’m very disappointed as they have amazing food and it is unfortunate that I had this experience today

19/11/2025: What a racket. Nearly €10 for 2 machine coffees and they were hardly drinkable. At least it is in keeping with the Irish Rail experience!

22/10/2025: The male barista’s attitude was just terrible. I ordered a wrap and asked him to heat it up because it had cheese inside, but he said “It’s not possible.” I mean, if a customer asks to have it heated, they should be able to do it, right? Also, I ordered a flat white with oat milk, but he gave me one with regular milk instead. That flatwhite was just like small cappuccino. Please be careful when you hire someone!!!!

30/12/2025: If you are looking for a nostalgic trip back to the late 1980s, this café in Rathfarnham Shopping Centre delivers—though unfortunately, it seems the cleaning and maintenance schedule also stopped around the same time. What could be a charming local hub is, in reality, a masterclass in how to make customers feel unwelcome. Atmosphere & Hygiene The first thing you notice is the decor, which hasn't been updated in what appears to be 40 years. While "vintage" can be a vibe, "neglected" is not. The physical environment is only outmatched by the coldness of the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were met with a rude and unfriendly demeanor. There was no greeting, no smile, and a general sense that our presence was an inconvenience to the people working there.For a local shopping center café, the pricing is extremely overpriced. You might forgive the cost if the quality was high, but the food was a disappointment. Our meal was overpriced and dry. In a bizarre move for a place charging premium prices, they actually charge extra for butter.There is no kids' menu and zero effort made to accommodate families. It is distinctly not family-friendly, which is surprising given its location in a residential suburb. It is a genuine shame that this is the primary dining option within Rathfarnham Shopping Centre. The local community deserves a vibrant, clean, and welcoming space to grab a coffee or a bite to eat. Instead, this establishment lets the whole area down. Save your money and your move and go elsewhere.

06/12/2025: I was bursting to go to the wee so I came into rathfarnham shopping centre and went to the little cafe upstairs and I ordered a tea cause they wouldn’t let me use the toilet cause it’s customers only anyway she charged me €3.20 for a pot of tea with one lousy tea bag in it…..absolutely shocking and the staff are incredibly rude ther was a older lady looking for an extra bit of butter And they refused to give it to her until she paid more money

18/12/2025: Person attending and preparing the sandwiches is quite rude and not friendly, better service in other locations like the beacon

17/08/2025: Very rude lazy staff . Kept getting wrong . Treated customers with contempt
