The best restaurants in Maynooth

28/08/2026: I've been gettin the tofu spicebag here on occasion for the last 3ish years, they've gone from good to awful to great then average then just tonight 14/08, I got one and it's quite possibly the best one I've ever had anywhere (I've tried ALOT). The tofu was perfect, loads of onion & veg and the chips didn't even need a sauce they were that well dressed and seasoned, juicy is the best to describe it all and the perfect amount of spice. The satay was a bit watery for my liking but all in all massive step up, so whoever was on spicebags tonight, can I know what nights your on so I know when to order?

25/08/2026: We had a wonderful experience here. The place was clean, bright and had such a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent customer service, and the food was simply beautiful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

25/08/2026: A very nice meal at bistro 53. We had the early bird menu on a sunday which was good value, two courses for around €30. We didn’t have a booking which wasn't an issue, although I'd make a reservation if you plan to visit for dinner

18/08/2026: We came in a big group, the restaurant did a special group menu for us. Food was delicious, atmosphere was very nice as well.

18/09/2026: Not very good. And above all, strongly Asian cuisine.

25/08/2026: I unfortunately had to cancel out room for this weekend as I didn't realise it was adults only. I delt with the most kindest, polite and knowledgeable lady on the phone. She was so helpful she even found our family a new place stay for the weekend. I'm sorry I didn't catch your name, but you're a asset to Cunninghams, they're lucky to have you. Thank you for all your help today.

08/08/2026: Jyoti was very friendly and made us feel at home

28/07/2026: Delhi Darbar in Maynooth is a lovely place to sit in and enjoy a meal. The staff are really friendly and the food is delicious. I particularly love the Vindaloo they serve here, it is one of the best I’ve had in Ireland. Thanks!

27/08/2026: Super vegetarian Maynooth. Warning: the food is slightly spicy, so those sensitive to chili may find it a bit risky.

17/07/2026: The best food in town! I was in Maynooth for a few days and I had some problems finding veg-friendly options... I found a place friendlier than I could ever hope for! Nidhi's cuisine is fantastic. I trusted her with all of the meals I had at the Beetroot café (that's because I didn't know what kind of food was behind the Indian names!) and I'd sincerely advise you to do the same. The place is so welcoming you end up feeling you're at someone's house. In the photos you can see a potato paratha, a dosa, and the last one is a paneer veg korma curry with hariyali pulav for takeaway (please correct me if I'm wrong). Even if you're in Dublin, it is worth it to take a train, enjoy a nice day in Maynooth and an even nicer meal at the Beetroot café!

29/07/2026: Food is Great, with reasonable price.

18/07/2026: Deadly altogether if i do say so

17/09/2026: Very nice place with excellent service

31/08/2026: If I could leave a 0 star review, I would, the staff is so rude, and unwelcoming. Back in June, I went there and saw that they treated one of their waitresses, such a kind person, so rudely, I hope she does not work there anymore, it is the year of 2026 let's treat each other with kindness, if you support service workers, I would not come here.

13/08/2026: Decent coffee and lovely setting . Friendly service. Pastries were good size and tasty but lots of nuts about if you have food allergies. They did have a couple of gluten free options for my son who has coeliac .

23/07/2026: Best coffee around! Always 10/10

29/08/2026: First time into this place and won't be the last. Staff were extremely helpful, joking, and overall very pleasant and engaging. Pizza is as good as the pictures and tasty even cold later on that night. Portion sizes are ideal.

17/08/2026: This is not the best pizza place of your life but they are so dedicated to good service and good food that I can only highly recommend them. You can order 1 pizza with 2 flavours which was very convenient if you are not too hungry for the whole pizza. Tiramisu was not on the menu but is offered as a desert and it was very good. Pizza was very tasty. There could be a bit more toppings.

15/09/2026: A very good restaurant in Maynooth, enjoyed our visit here last week while visiting Maynooth. Good food and service, woukd recommend.

10/09/2026: Food very good but very rude waiter

01/09/2026: One of my favourite places to eat in Maynooth. Really nice and tasty food..I also love the decoration.

28/08/2026: Excellent Food ! Beautiful place

28/07/2026: I had a great experience at Zambrero Maynooth. The food was fresh, delicious, and served really quickly. A special thanks to Emma and Ciara, who were both so friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect and their positive attitude made the visit even better. Excellent customer service, great food, and a lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Zambrero Maynooth to anyone looking for a tasty meal with fantastic service. This is the best Zambrero I've ever been to!

26/07/2026: Delivery was excellent. Really the same quality as in the restraint (which is always really good). Will be a regular one for me

16/09/2026: We had the steak served on a hot stone, which was delicious and very generously portioned. Furthermore, the service was excellent. However, the restaurant's cleanliness was somewhat lacking; there were cobwebs on the ceiling, the wallpaper was peeling significantly, and a lot of dust was clearly visible."

27/08/2026: Great steaks and reasonable price!

26/08/2026: Tasty breakfast full irish with tea for two. The atmosphere was very charming .The staff were so friendly and welcoming 😀I'd highly recommend 👌

16/08/2026: Nice food excellent staff. Indoor and outdoor dining.

17/07/2026: The cafe at Teeling is my daily ritual with our cockapoo Charley. I can't say enough about the incredible staff and outstanding coffee. I've never had a daily coffee (& dog treat routine) that now feels like a community. Whoever is doing employee recruitment finds just fantastic people! Dogs are not only welcome here but will feel lots and lots of love.

01/07/2026: They dropped half my food on the floor and offered to replace it with different food I could not eat, not a refund. I paid for a full sandwich and only got half. Also kitchen is very cross contaminated, my veggie sandwich was cut on a tray where I could see meat from other sandwiches still on it. Friend's drink had to be remade twice due to allergens. Food is fine, but would recommend steering clear if you have allergens or are vegetarian.
