The best restaurants in Dublin

15/06/2025: Had chicken satay skewers and chicken spice bag, chicken was disgusting, probably reheated 10 times, won’t be going back

07/06/2025: Pretty awful food. Got delivered undercooked and cold chips. Chicken Fried rice had a funny taste off it. Felt reheated. Would not order again.

26/04/2025: Have ordered food from here on Deliveroo twice and twice they didn’t put the veggie patty on the sandwiches. Nobody is just ordering a bread with just lettuce and sauce. Seriously.

16/04/2025: If I could give zero star I will, I went there at few minutes to 8 and the staff was a bit rude, told me they were closed so I apologized and left. When I got out I realized they were still open and went back in. When I got in, I saw her attending to another guy who wasn't there when I went it. She told me they were closed again and I told her they were meant to be close at half 8. She delayed me for minutes and I left there for McDonald's whose staffs are clearly nt rude and are open for longer than half 8.

21/05/2025: Worst staff. The guy at the counter is so rude and don’t seem to be interested. I asked if he can make my order spicy as the other day a lady there made it so good. Don’t go and don’t spoil your mood.

18/04/2025: Asked for veg which should normally be in a spice box they never listen absolute worse one in Ireland Kip of s place

21/06/2025: Literally the worst "cafe" in the country. Everything is microwaved, nothing is fresh. The garbage food is also overpriced. The staff are rude and unhelpful, they seem to enjoy being unpleasant. The staff are incompetent and can't make decent cappuccino, always boiling hot. They are extremely lucky with the location, located in a gym, because they'd have closed years ago anywhere else.

19/04/2025: Literally just leaving O'brien clontarf 16.17pm Saturday I'm a bus driver and usually gets lovely flatwhite there. I for few mins and order a flatwhite and the girl at the counter was like " ah sorry I just cleaned the machine " I was like so no coffee she was like I gave to wait 10mins..was extremely rude and unprofessional. Guess need to find another shop for my coffee

23/03/2025: Cheap and nasty practice. I top up Gas here regularly and they have decided to surcharge every swipe as individual extra charges. This is new. The max amount Utility companies allow you to top up on card is €50 so this business has decided to start adding additional cost on to their customers when they did not previously.

22/02/2025: Sort out that deli no cheese no lettuce all the cold meats is all old hard dry and the liquid from the red chicken shit in the bowl is going off due to the liquid pisssing out of it why have a lettuce bowl on display with was empty either remove it or replace it shocking !

18/03/2025: It's super super expensive here. It's cheaper at the airport. Only for the rich with a deep wallet. Hot chocolate costs 4 euros.

25/05/2025: Horrible horrible!!!! can t belive take aways can sell that kind of food in 2025!

10/04/2025: Pedido plato de pollo barbacoa. La imagen se veía encantadora en línea. Cuando llegó el pedido el pollo no estaba bien cocinado. La comida fue a la papelera.

04/05/2025: Booked function room for 18th birthday party. Lady came into party little after 9pm accused a boy from take her phone from behind counter party put to a stand still with every one standing so cctv could be viewed to see which person take the phone when cctv was viewed owner or manager not sure her name is kelly had left her phone in kitchen another worker went in and got phone from kitchen and then they all apologised full party left so embarrassed definitely will never be a customer again shocking experience from a company so unprofessional apology doesn't work that way. By cot by all means !!!!!!

10/03/2025: Probably the worst takeaway I’ve had in my life 2 hairs found in a spicebag how is this even possible

01/06/2025: Ordered chips with a tub of curry sauce, got home and chips burnt and shrivelled, looked like old recooked chips, straight in the bin 😡

28/05/2025: Do not order anything from there. The only good thing in the entire experience was that this slop arrived quickly but even then delivery driver did not followed the instruction to come at the back gate and came to the front. Chicken in the main dish was boiled and rubbery, not even fried, just boiled and rubbery, it tasted faintly of salt and thats about it. Sauce was dreadfull. I also ordered vegetable spring rolls, what came was an abomination. It was filled with chicken and disgusting cabbage, vegetable spring rolls with chicken. Not only that those were not spring rolls, it was a slop that I would not give to a dog wrapped in a soggy crepe, battered and deep fried, it also tasted like it was deep fried multiple times. Spring rolls needs to be wrapped in rice paper, not crepe... fries were dry and were definitely refried not fresh. After eating not even 30 procent of that thing (I was really hungry) I felt like I just drank a soup made out of vegetable oil alone, its not fresh, its not good tasting, it makes you feel sluggish and sick and it was not even what I ordered. Its crap. Do yourself a favour and if you want to eat something and this place is your only option just chew on your shoes for a bit. You will have vastly better experience.

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

08/03/2025: Arrived this morning to find the Igo cafe closed, having arranged to meet someone here. Google maps shows it as open… but it is shuttered up

03/05/2025: Fresh Food and Friendly Faces but Let Down by the Plates I visited O’Briens Café in Jervis Shopping Centre with my son early on a Saturday morning. It was one of the very few places open and serving food at 10.30am, which was a real bonus when everything else was still closed. The convenience alone makes it worth considering if you are in the area early. The sandwiches were genuinely tasty. The bread was fresh and clearly good quality, and the ingredients felt well chosen and nicely balanced. What really stood out though was the staff. The two team members on duty were warm, welcoming, and seemed genuinely happy to serve us. That kind of positive attitude makes a big difference and gave the place a bright, upbeat feel from the moment we arrived. However, there was one detail that did take away from the overall experience. The sandwiches were served on basic plastic plates, which felt out of place given the price. It gave the meal a slightly disposable, rushed feel that didn't match the quality of the food or the care put into service. I understand it is part of a food hall setting, but a switch to proper crockery would go a long way in elevating the overall experience and better justifying the cost. In the end, O’Briens offered a quick and satisfying bite with genuinely fresh ingredients and excellent service. A small change in presentation could easily turn a good visit into a great one.

25/04/2025: An excellent automotive workshop that takes the time! I had my Golf GTI lowered here. Together with the mechatronics engineer, we then selected a new exhaust system that really roars. For me the visit was worth it, even though my drop center rims were scratched when I got onto the ramp.

13/04/2025: Food is always very good from here never had a bad experience.

31/12/2024: Female member of staff very rude when ordering our food, felt rushed and food was very standard,

21/10/2024: So disappointed with the christening cake I got last Saturday! Left a terrible after taste and it cost me nearly €70! Won't buy a cake here again!!

21/10/2024: Good coffee, not consistently amazing, but to someone who isn’t that into their coffee will have a good mug of coffee. Friendly staff happy to chat and help. Good dessert and bakery food. Charging ports don’t work upstairs though :(

23/04/2025: staff were lovely except for woman with grey and black hair, very rude and aggressive. I feel sorry for anyone who has to work with her, will not be coming back.

19/03/2025: Felt super outnof place coming here, took a trip out with the family for business, stumbled upon this little place, no one greated me and my wife and boys. Didn't seem to want to help us. Thanked them after i paid and not even a thank you back. Pathetic service worst money spent here in a super aukward atmosphere.. Wont be returning...

23/05/2025: I will not give it no stars on review but it does not give me that choice, so I have to give it a one not my decision .because now I like a Chinese .but tried this for the first time it was disgusting and left an awful poisoning taste hard to explain like I was at eating perfume with my curry. That’s what it taste like straight to the bin. 🤮 I should have known from the dirt of the front of the shop when you go into order and wait for your curry not even a napkin left. When I asked she said we have no napkins the dirt, the floors, the seats the walls disgusting

22/02/2025: Ordered from here yesterday whoever is managing this place has no respect or understanding from a customer point of view. We asked for a return because the chicken balls looked like charcoal to which the woman (manager) started screaming on the phone. To which they demanded the chicken balls back which they are probably going to re-use for sale..considering how addiment they were to get them back, no problem I said. It took us a few phone calls and 10 minutes of arguing over a few chicken balls which are basically just flour and barely any chicken. This company has no respect or care for what they do. Never will I order from these again. NEVER
