The best restaurants in Dublin

25/10/2025: Absolutely filthy. Rubbish was piled on top of the bins today. The worst I have ever seen for hygiene. Also impossible to relax and enjoy your meal or coffee with constant "beeping" and "bonging" from the machines in the kitchen.

22/10/2025: The service is terrible. I had a deal run out of time because I was waiting so long to have my order taken. Edit: this review is slightly outdated and they have improved since. Quality of the food is bang average even in regards to McDonald’s but the timing is, for the most part no longer an issue. It’s made up for in the extremely friendly and courteous staff.

03/10/2025: Order take away lamb rogan josh meal once in a while. Always very good quality. A real treat. Love the rice. When you find bay leaves and cardamom you know it's restaurant standard. We did have a meal at the restaurant once but we were the only ones there so no atmosphere. There is a indian closer to me but food is not as good and the guy taking the orders is abit off.

13/09/2025: We ordered a takeaway from their app directly. It told us our food would be with us in 50 mins. 1 hour and 20 minutes later, still no food. I checked the tracker on the app, only to see that my food had already been delivered! I chatted with someone over the app and was told they must be close enough to deliver, but just struggling to find the house (also not the case). 'Delivered' should indicate the food has actually been given to the customer. We are used to delays with ICC and the food was fine, but don't lie to your customers or misrepresent timings to make it look like things are better than they are - it's really offputting.

15/07/2025: Waited 10-15 minutes for chips, no problem there, happy to wait for lovely fresh chips. Got them home (I live a 3 minute drive away) and the chips were rock solid, dry and clearly yesterday's chips. Rang them to see if they'd made a mistake and would be willing to send a fresh bag. Was told that they're today's potatoes and that they couldn't deliver a fresh bag. The lady was no help and didn't care about losing a customer of 20+ years. Its a real shame because that was always a great chipper but gone massively downhill recently. Prices have risen and quality has plummeted.

27/03/2025: Over priced food €4.50 for chips and €10.50 for a bit of fish for lunch chips were raw, and the chicken was reheated from the night previous no even specials for school kids that were their, no effort

10/10/2025: Over hour &15 mins delivery food cold &gull of grease uneatable never get food from here again

06/06/2025: 2 bad experiences with this company. First time I ordered the delivery driver rang to say they were outside went out and no one was there. I rang them back they said they think they were in the wrong estate. That they would be another 2 mins. 20 mins later still no sign of food. Rang the shop the delivery driver answered and said they were putting fresh food on. Happy days. Another 20 mins later the food arrives and it was just reheated crap. Rang them after they said they were replacing the whole meal but when we rang back they said they only replaced the chips which weren’t fresh. Decided to try again rang them and got through to a Chinese woman with very very little English. Who could not understand the address which I spelled out and still couldn’t get it. or what I was ordering. (Kebab meal and garlic cheese chips) nothing too difficult. Just before she hung up the phone she gave out about me to her colleague. Maybe have someone fluent in English to answer the phones will not order again

25/10/2025: Their Special Meal 11 (which consists of a Spice Bag, 6 Chicken Balls and a Soda) is delicious but also budget-friendly for its value, a very cheap meal for a large amount of food if you want to eat alone. :)

22/08/2025: Beef here’s proper good—tender, not chewy, and there’s loads of it in the chow mein.​ The little spicy sachets? Game changer. Not too fiery, just enough kick. Got here 5 mins late, but still hot.​ Been coming here for years—food’s always fresh, never a dodgy batch. Moved back to Dublin recently, and it’s exactly the same taste as I remembered. Missed this place more than I thought. No complaints.

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

04/11/2025: Food is nice but their delivery wait time is crazy. The last 2 times we ordered it took over 1 hour to be delivered and we're only down the road. Secondly their staff who work answering the phone are extremely rude. When we rang to ask where are food was that we had ordered 1 hour and 20 minutes ago the girl on the phone said 'well I'm not the one making the food'. Horrible attitude after spending nearly €50. Also we left notes on the just eat app and our order was wrong. Will never order from here again.

23/11/2025: Delivery is atleast 2 hours average, just eat reviews clairfy this. Its not good enough they need to sort it out or they wont be open much longer

20/11/2025: Had crispy shredded beef extra veg Peking sauce with it hav to say beautiful 👌👌👌👌👌

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.

04/10/2025: Business masterclass; Ignore your customers Don't pay attention to the queue order Overprice second choice products Leave table dirty

15/09/2025: Had a takeaway for 2 items - the raspberry polenta cake and the vegan sausage roll. Both were delicious! The polenta cake had a strong raspberry flavour with milder than expected sweetness, as I prefer. The vegan sausage roll was slightly peppery and it was warmed up for me and placed in a heat friendly bag. The ambience of the place is lovely and I wish I had more time to sit and dine.

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.

27/10/2025: Lovely staff but oh my gosh the food is dreadful! I’ve just been served a bowl of bland, gloopy white sauce peppered with tiny bits of unidentifiable fish, masquerading as seafood chowder. On the side was a dry white UPF bread roll instead of the brown soda bread promised. Other family members partook of, and left, the ribeye steak (36 Euro each for the ‘pleasure’). Both described it as ‘like leather’. Owners / managers of this establishment, you should be ashamed yourselves - offering this level of slop is not acceptable, even in an airport hotel where you have a captive market. I feel so sorry for your staff… we tipped them notwithstanding the awful food.

27/10/2025: Do not eat here. Food is terrible, overpriced and flavourless. Staff are lovely but the food ruined the whole place. The steak tasted like leather and was not worth €37.

23/11/2025: No way I paid for this flimsy kebab bruh

08/11/2025: Delivery not accepted,,, it was luke warm had to reheat it ,, when it should have been hot

10/10/2025: Normally above average place to go and sit for lunch. Never had a complaint about Noah & Co. But today, we were left waiting for 30 minutes for a simple lunch order. We asked one of the waiting staff (about 20 mons after taking our seats) - how long it would be as we were waitng a considerable amount of time. He went to the kitchen to ask. He arrived back and told us - about 3 to 4 minutes. Over 10 minutes later we were still waiting and at this point we decided to leave, anyway, coffees were stone cold at this time. A mangaer approached us, I said we were leaving, due to the unacceptable wait time. At this point he stated - I'm really sorry, we only have one chef on today. TOTALLY unacceptable. If this was the case they should have been transparent about this from the start. We would never have taken a table. Coffees were complimentary....... Will consider not coming back, to be treated like imbeciles .......

10/10/2025: Very sad welcome by the host lady. Food even worse. Not recommended!

03/12/2025: 2025: Visited on a drizzly day - coffee hot, atmosphere cozy, great seats at the back just to rest. Fabulously friendly staff again. A joy to visit 🙌 2024: Stopped in for a shopping break and had a fab time watching the world go by with one of the locals, who was also having a shopping break - lovely chat, tasty coffee, and friendly staff 🙌

20/11/2025: Unfortunately, the toilet in this branch is extremely dirty and smelly, and it is constantly being closed due to “maintenance issues.” Why has this problem not been resolved for months? When I asked the staff member today why the toilet has been out of order for so long, he simply said, “I told you the toilet is closed today,” without answering any of my questions. He then started talking to his colleague in a way that felt like he was mocking me. Another staff member thankfully tried to speak to me properly, but the behaviour of the first gentleman was really disrespectful. On another day, I told the same staff member that the inside was very stuffy and asked whether the ventilation was working. He didn’t even respond, he just gave a fake smile and then walked away to serve another customer. I also asked if they could at least keep the door open for five minutes to let some air in, as there was absolutely no ventilation. He just said, “We can’t keep it open,” and returned to his work. It is honestly very disappointing to see such a lack of care and hygiene in a Starbucks branch located right in the centre of Dublin. Perhaps this is exactly why Starbucks struggles to achieve the same level of success in Dublin compared to other countries after all, success doesn’t happen by accident; it requires effort.

10/08/2025: veggie focaccia was low quality dry and tasteless 6 euros , great place to waste money

17/06/2025: The coffee was very good and the carrot cake was too sweet for me. It's small but very clean.
