The best restaurants in Galway

03/06/2025: Great array of food, very friendly staff.

24/05/2025: This place sells more than tarts, also does prepared chilled meals. Prices are good by Irish standards. I feel they could keep it a bit cleaner, including seats outside.

25/12/2025: We got married in the g 9 years ago, we have stayed there every year for the past 15 years. We celebrate our anniversary and we now have 3 December birthdays. This was all relayed through email while booking. As we have 3 small kids we love to stay at the g around Christmas and have our own little pj party. Despite sharing all this information when booking there was no welcome plate or card even left in our room on arrival, something which was always there before so that was a disappointment. The room itself was beautiful and spacious especially with our own Christmas tree. The room however was cold. The heating seemed fine on our first day but didn’t seem to work on the second day. While using the bath there was no little body wash beside it or that could be moved from the sink, which meant I had to get in and out which is a little dangerous. Breakfast selection the next morning wasn’t hectic, I chose pancakes and I asked for just strawberries and cream to be told there was no cream available. How can a 5 star hotel restaurant not have something quite basic as cream. Overall we had a nice stay but there is definitely room for improvement as initially it was even difficult to complete our reservation.

22/12/2025: Our stay was brilliant & Davidus (front office manager) made our stay special from the beginning with his warm welcome. Would 100% recommend to friends to stay here. Look forward to returning.

05/01/2026: Extremely disappointing experience from start to finish. Food quality was shockingly poor. The samosas tasted like they were made with frozen, stale meat and had a strong unpleasant smell. Biryani was one of the worst I have ever had.. it was dry, no flavor and completely inedible. We couldn’t even eat a few bites. chicken dishes were equally bad with meat that clearly wasn’t fresh. On top of the terrible food, the service made it worse. The staff were rude, dismissive, and showed no interest in customer feedback. It felt like a complete waste of money and our day spoiled. For anyone in Galway, especially Irish/European visitors, this is not authentic Indian food by any standard. Please avoid this place.

03/01/2026: Food was average. Staff was very poor and service was not upto the mark. Its very old building, not even properly maintained, smelly, and table felt very untidy.

03/12/2025: Fake indian restaurant. Don't even know how to make aloo jeera. I said my mom had a fast please give me boiled potato with salt and cumin and no other spices. they said they can only make whats in the menu. Aaloo jeera was in the menu. 🤦

01/12/2025: 5 star food and fantastic staff always love to visit tulsi when in galway. Highly reccomend this restaurant.

21/12/2025: Great restaurant, magnificent decor!

16/12/2025: Absolutely beautiful location and view. Food was great too.

21/12/2025: My friend and I booked a table there for 7 people. This is based in my own opinion First time: first time going there and it seems alright. Not too shabby. It’s really pretty Food wise: I myself as a sushi lover , the sushi is actually not too bad but the price and the food that they’re serving us just doesn’t match. I just feel like they were overcharging us for both the bbq and the sushi. We got the bbq for 2 for €50 something and the sushi platter for €33.20 for the 4 of us. The rest they ordered ramen. It just clearly feels like just not enough. Staff: very good not too bad. Overall I felt like I wasted my money going there with my friends as I said the pricing doesn’t match with the food they served us. Overall I would’ve went somewhere else.

09/12/2025: 🥴☹️ If you want to fill your stomach with something bland and flavorless rather than real food, this is the place to go. I’m not even going to comment on their tea or customer service here… but the food itself was extremely disappointing. The portions are huge, but the taste is terrible. I have never had a “spicy ramen” that tasted like a mixture of ketchup and canned beans — until now. It was truly unpleasant. As for their “sushi,” it’s nothing more than rice wrapped with seaweed and avocado, with no fish at all. Calling it sushi is misleading — it would be more accurate to call it Kimbab. Overall, a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place

31/12/2025: Very disappointed with how our booking was handled. We had a hen party booked at the Eyre Square Hotel for 27 February 2026 (2 nights) and paid a €975 deposit. Unfortunately, due to illness, we had to cancel just under 12 weeks before arrival. While the rooms were cancelled, the hotel retained the full deposit and showed no flexibility or accommodation given the circumstances. Overall, a very disappointing experience and one I would not recommend for group bookings.

31/12/2025: Fantastic location but poor value for money. €494.60 for 2 nights (with parking), 2 guests. On arriving to our first room we called reception as it was no bigger than a box room. Only a double bed and very little room to move. We were given a bigger room. However despite having the radiator on full and an extra plug in radiator on constant for the duration of our stay, our room was uncomfortably cold. Within two minutes of the shower running the bathroom gets flooded. We used bath towels to block the flow out towards the door. We found the bar and restaurant quite cold also. Despite staying during the middle of the festive season there was no real atmosphere in the hotel. The bar was almost empty. When we returned with 3 friends to the bar at approx 9.30 on Sunday night we were told that we couldn't order Irish coffees because the coffee machine was off. We left and went to another bar nearby. Despite phoning enroute to ask about parking, we were not told of the closest/cheapest parking. We pid €4 per day extra and had to walk further with our luggage. Overall our stay was ok but we wouldn't rush back.

06/01/2026: Good clean rooms, great location.

02/01/2026: We spend two days at this hotel and it was amazing. Thais, the manager, was extremely accommodating and provided the best recommendations for Galway. This place is close to everything and the rooms are spacious. Would definitely come back!

14/08/2025: Only place I’ve ever been with edible wafer cups, five stars for that alone

31/07/2025: Most expensive Take Away Cappuccino in town. Also a bit diluted. €4 . However Flat White is the cheapest one here: €2.90 .

24/12/2025: Wide variety of items at a reasonable price

25/09/2025: I’m giving one star as an honest critic. This new location is very disappointing. The staff show too much attitude toward customers for no reason, and there’s no sense of customer service or satisfaction. Overall, I’m very disappointed with this grocery store.

12/12/2025: Poor management here I’ve gotten wrong food in my order numerous times and again today hence the review.not good enough people pay good money for food it’s not difficult to ensure they get what they order

08/11/2025: Service was very slow but fresh food

05/01/2026: The manager is a very sour Individual Always looks very cross,and speaks in a bullying tone to the lovely staff.I have had meals hear many times and the food was good.But the take aways are terrible.On Saturday i got starter platter for 2.When i got outside looked in the bag,no dipping sauces or poppadoms, which normally come with the takeaway.I went back in and the sour manager went in and got the missing stuff.I live literally 5 minutes walk from the resteurant.When I opened the container the food was dry and only luke warm.Looked as if it was left sitting on a side plate.I don't ever play to visit this place again,we have so many great resteurants in Galway who deliver great food a pleasant managers .My advice is avoid this place like the plague,especially the grumpy,sour ma ager

09/12/2025: Loved it!,great staff,great food,great portions,will be back!

17/11/2025: All time favorites 😁 Go to restaurant 😍 We love their kids menu ❤️ Must try 💯

02/10/2025: I come to McDonald's on my lunch break and it is full of school boys. They all are buzzing around asking for tokens for free food while helping themselves to your chips. It's not on. I work hard all day and deserve somewhere to enjoy my lunch in peace.

20/11/2025: Don't advertise staying open till late and let no one in! Let me sit outside for over an hour. Just wanted to catch up with my friends inside. Said it was full and wouldnt let me in even when plenty people left while i waited. Not a nice place

11/11/2025: Great vibes , good music - all a good pub should be

13/12/2025: Great place for casual business meetings. Few Chester sofas. Calm atmosphere. Cloud Picker coffee 👍

12/11/2025: A good place for morning coffee, a good place for lunch coffee, a good place for evening coffee. You can buy dessert, various T-shirts and caps, just for fun. The interior design is unusual, and I liked it. It's cozy inside, you can drink coffee and work on your laptop. You don't have to work. You can't help but enjoy this place. I recommend it.
