The best restaurants in Dublin

30/10/2024: Deliciously Amazing food, Biryani is suggested for sure once in life time. Fully suggested for family gathering and specially kids play area is re-visit for kids. Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Royal biryani kitchen known for its tantalizing BBQ kebabs & biryani. As a fan of grilled delights, I was eager to see if their offerings lived up to the hype, and I was not disappointed. Atmosphere: The ambiance was warm and inviting, with rustic decor that complemented the BBQ theme. The smell of smoke from the grill filled the air, heightening the anticipation before my meal arrived. The seating was comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making for an enjoyable dining experience. Menu Selection: The menu featured a variety of kebab options, including chicken, lamb, and vegetarian choices. They also offered a range of marinades that promised to elevate the flavor profile. I decided to try the classic chicken and lamb kebabs, accompanied by a side of their signature garlic & mint sauce and fresh bread paratha. Taste: Both kebabs were grilled to perfection. The chicken was tender and juicy, marinated in a delightful blend of spices that gave it a smoky flavor with just the right amount of kick. The lamb kebab was equally impressive—rich and flavorful, with a slightly charred exterior that added an extra layer of depth to the taste. The garlic sauce was a standout; it complemented the meat beautifully, enhancing each bite without overpowering the natural flavors. The fresh parata that accompanied the meal was soft and fluffy, perfect for wrapping around the kebabs or scooping up the sauce. Value: The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food served. It felt like a good value, especially considering the freshness of the ingredients as compared in Bray town. Overall Experience: My experience at Royal biryani kitchen was truly enjoyable. The BBQ kebabs were the highlight of the meal, and I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. Whether you’re a kebab aficionado or just looking for a delicious meal, I highly recommend Biryani out this spot. Final Thoughts: For those in search of flavourful BBQ kebabs and biryani in a welcoming beach town Bray will fully recommend Royal biryani kitchen is a must-visit. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try more from their diverse menu! Kind regards, Abdul

20/08/2024: Very smelly and your shoes will for sure stick to the floor as never been cleaned. Very poor service not sure why people rate it. Maybe good for takeaway service but don't waste your time here.

29/05/2025: Drive in is so handy. Please fix your roof leak though so you don't get shut down. The roof water is leaking all over the food prep area

25/11/2024: La coupure tout aussi dépaysante que le jardin botanique de Dublin. Vraie cuisine mexicaine en plein Dyblin!! à ne pas rater! copieux et pas cher et l'accueil était sympa!

15/08/2025: The name Fair Play feels rather ironic after my visit. I popped in hoping to grab a coffee to go, accompanied by my dog. Instead of a warm greeting, I was met with a raised hand from what appeared to be the owner, signalling that I should head outside. I obliged immediately, yet even then I wasn’t offered the chance to purchase a takeaway coffee. A simple, polite explanation would have been appreciated – and frankly, a takeaway option should have been the obvious next step. Sadly, the encounter felt unwelcoming and far from the hospitality you’d expect from a local café.

31/07/2025: A wonderful place, people are so friendly. Only stopped for a cuppa, but will definitely be back.

18/03/2026: An amazing atmosphere with the very friendliest of welcome , made to feel at home and we visited daily during our 3 day visit over st Patrick's day. Landlord and bar staff were legends, giving us local advice on the dos and don'ts of the area. Thank you to all here for making our st Patricks day a truly wonderful time and experience. Best Guinness too. Truly a lovely place and a must visit

14/03/2026: What a pub , what a place just got back from 5 days here watching Cheltenham and the pub is faultless from the staff to the locals , I don’t think I have ever been in a friendlier pub , I have never felt safer or more looked after . The pints are a good price and the banter and atmosphere is even better . if ever I returned to Dublin there is no where else I would rather go . Massive thank you from rich jade and Avril you made our entire stay in Dublin

23/09/2024: They don't deliver after accepting order. Called the restaurant 4 times after ordering and after receiving a confirmation from their end that they're preparing the order. But woof no order delivered. I have left all positive reviews on Uber eats before for them so it makes sense to post this reviews as well.
