The best restaurants in Maynooth

25/10/2026: I’ve ordered from Orient several times before and always enjoyed the food, so this time was quite disappointing. The chicken tasted old and not as fresh as expected, and both the spice bag and Singapore fried rice were below the usual standard in terms of taste and quality. I hope this was just an off day, as I’ve had much better experiences here before. Hopefully, the restaurant can look into this and maintain the quality it’s known for.

04/10/2026: Delicious 😋 food. Super kind service and smooth music.

26/10/2026: I had a bowl and it tasted good 👍🏼

16/10/2026: Great atmosphere, lovely staff and food is amazing! Meat is tasty and salad was fresh. I had the burrito and it was very filling at a great price. Would definitely go again :)

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!

14/10/2026: Dropped in here for something to eat and every aspect of it was fantastic 👍🏻

02/10/2026: Cunningham's is right across the street from where we stayed at the Silken Thomas. Our large family was in town for a wedding and they did a beautiful job of accommodating a large group of us. We ate there twice. They have two different rooms with two completely different atmospheres. The first place that we ate was white tablecloth with wine glasses and candles. Very romantic and elevated. The second space they have is a pub atmosphere. Very comfortable and nice. It's the same menu for both places They were awesome.

18/09/2026: Currently closed for renovation. Mostly to let people know so they don't end up like me with expecting to get some nice italian food and finding a closed restaurant (Even if the hours are marked it as opened)

12/09/2026: I'm into fresh and quality ingredients - this place ticked all the boxes. The pasta was amazing and huge portions - the irish fella was really helpful and friendly

15/09/2026: Excellent cup of coffee and scone.

09/09/2026: Excellent spot. As vegetarians, we often eat mediocre meals that we could easily prepare at home so it was such a delight to have the cabbage main plate recently. Highly recommend!

26/09/2026: It's a traditional pub, with a quiet atmosphere, great for having a drink and reflecting.
