15/03/2026: Disappointing experience for the price. We spent €40+ but the 'meat' dishes were essentially just pasta and sauce—the chicken and beef were barely present. The side of chips was also underwhelming in size. If the kitchen can’t maintain quality standards for takeaway, it might be better to streamline the menu rather than compromise on ingredients. I was hoping for much better value.
14/03/2026: Came here this evening for dinner with a group of four and we all really enjoyed both the food and the service.
The food was fresh and definitely worth the wait, and we’ve noticed a great improvement over the past few months on dishes that were already very tasty.
The service was excellent and we loved the warm, homely atmosphere especially getting the chance to chat with the manager and owner.
The pizzas were cooked to perfection they were crispy and fresh. The burger was delicious and the manzo was also excellent. The starters were well worth ordering too.
We will definitely be returning.

13/03/2026: Delicious! The fried Brie is a must, although not it only comes with two pieces. The steaks were tender and the pasta was phenomenal! Not a bad bite was taken the entire meal.
Staff were friendly, fast, and knowledgeable about the menu. If you're near the area then you'll want to stop by
10/03/2026: I'm outraged by the appalling treatment we received at FIFTY-50 Ashbourne on March 9th, 2026. A waitress mis-sold us a meal deal, and when it came to paying, she vanished. The manager, Mick, took over, bullying us to "just pay and leave". His aggressive behavior was shocking – he even chased us out like dogs!
As a loyal customer of over 3 years, this was a nightmare experience. I expect better from a reputable brand. Mick's behavior was unacceptable, and I demand action. No customer deserves to be treated this way.
I want:
- CCTV footage reviewed
- Investigation into the incident
- Action taken against Mick for his behavior
This was a terrible night, and I hope changes are made to prevent it happening again.

27/02/2026: This is not the first time I have bought kebabs in this restaurant, I specially come from the city of Navan, as the employees of this restaurant are very kind and helpful people such as Anatol and Elena.

I advise everyone to visit this restaurant.

Monto's restaurant
Kilmessan
08/12/2025: The first place (in a loonnngggg time, if ever before) that the person who met us at the door (& even helped clear off the table we got to sit at) - took our order brought us our food, brought us our bill AND took payment for a great Dinner..., 'twould be great if more places would be THIS attentive to their customers..., it just felt more homely/personal. Also, a big Thank You to everyones "Uncle" Monto, the proprietor.
20/10/2025: We felt very comfortable there, and the food was very good and plentiful. We highly recommend it.

Navan (an uaimh)
16/02/2026: Complete and Utter Disgrace of an establishment. I ordered a pizza and it was burnt all around the edge. When I called on the phone to let them know I was told "It's not burnt only the crust is burnt". As though the crust is not part of the pizza and it's completely normal to eat burnt food? When I complained that the food is unedible because it was burnt I was told "It just looks like that because it doesn't have any sauce it's not burnt" and "do what you want". When I got to the place with my pizza I was literally given out to for the pizza being burnt and told "There was nothing wrong with it because the bottom of it was fine". Again it was burnt. Staff members did nothing but watch the situation while the OWNER herself told me to shut up and spoke to me like I was an inconvenient idiot. These people will give you burnt food like your some kind of animal and then shout and curse at you because you don't want to eat food that can cause cancer. The owner herself is angry, unprofessional and mentally unhinged. To think you would tell a customer to eat burnt food and curse at them when they complain
COMPLETELY DISGRACEFUL avoid, avoid, avoid
21/12/2025: Great chipper. I had fresh cod and chips. Lovely garlic sauce. Highly recommended 👌

Massimo's
Dunshaughlin
18/02/2026: Food is great. But Imagine someone serving you good food with a grumpy face ..!!!
23/01/2026: Honestly i ordered because i saw the reviews and tempting pictures of their food but my experience was horrible, not sure if it was an accident bcz its my first time ordering ( doner kebab- chicken shish- fries) all of the things we ordered were so bad and i had to throw the chicken like literally all of it after tasting one bcz the taste and the dryness were horrible( not even worth half of the price they charge for it i honestly wouldnt eat it for free) the bread was so old and not fresh at all and even though we didnt order any beryani or something similar but food smelled and tasted as if all were cooked in same pot ..sorry for long review but this is my honest opinion i hope they fix the issue bcz it seems from outside like a nice restaurant and was looking forward to try it since not much here around dunshaughlin

Cesare's
Enfield
05/07/2025: Best Italian food I've had in Ireland, there can't be more than a few places on this level and half them are probably €150pp Michelin stars.
You enjoy it more as food is perfectly home cooked with TLC and top ingredients and flavour and it's actually healthy Mediterranean food without cheap chemicals and oils etc typical of modern "food". Digests really well and you feel great even after having a big feed and dessert too.
Server was really nice and the chips were perfectly crispy and made from a nice potato. Pizza was custom ordered and very very nice. One of the nicest pizzas I've had. The bourbon vanilla soft serve Italian ice cream and (I forgot the name of it but basically soft pastry wrapped desert with light whipped cream) was very very good
I enjoyed the small homemade and very tasty desert more than a big bowl of cheap ice cream which is only chemicals frozen milk and sugar.
Bit pricey but it's actually fair for the service and quality of food and ingredients. You just need to know what you're getting and that it is a premium dining experience. With soft drinks, 2 desert, chips and a 12 inch custom pizza between 2 people and a few euro tip to round it the meal came to 50 which was well worth it.
Definitely will be back for special occasions.
06/06/2025: Tried Cesare’s for the first time tonight and was really impressed. The food was full of flavour and felt genuinely Italian. We had the pasta and Pizza and it was cooked perfectly. The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Cosy atmosphere too, great spot for a relaxed meal out. Will definitely be back!
