The tokri chaat here is genuinely something else &mdash; crispy, tangy, just messy enough to eat with your hands. Owais looked after us well, checked in at the right moments without hovering. Place has a decent buzz for a Tuesday night. Not the cheapest, but the flavours feel proper. I&#39;d go back just for that chaat again.

Lovely little place in Blackrock &mdash; that back terrace is such a find. Hot chocolate was spot on, and the staff had time for a proper chat.

Full Irish breakfast did the job - solid portion, decent price for what you get. Staff were quick and didn&#39;t fuss around. Handy spot if you&#39;re passing through and need something filling before heading off. No complaints really.

Decent pastrami sandwich, honestly better than I expected. Coffee was spot on too. Staff were run off their feet but still managed to do a good job. Only thing is it&#39;s a bit tight for space, but that&#39;s grand for a quick bite.

The outdoor seating&#39;s lovely for a quiet evening. Turkish coffee hit the spot.

I had a fantastic brunch at Balfes! The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. The staff were welcoming and made us feel right at home.

The wings are proper good - big portions and decent flavour. The beer garden&#39;s a nice touch, especially with the heated spots when it&#39;s chilly out.

The chai latte was lovely and the toastie did the job. Place got pretty busy but the vibe stayed cosy. Price was fair for what you got.

Right next to the station, so it&#39;s handy. Bangers and mash were solid, service was quick enough. Decent spot for a pint and something filling before a train.

Good coffee and the staff were lovely. Place is small but cosy enough. Had a sandwich and it did the job. Fine for a quick coffee stop in Dublin.

Been coming here for a while now and the food never slips. Flavours are always fresh, prices fair for what you get. Nothing fancy, but honestly that&#39;s part of the charm. Just solid, dependable grub when you can&#39;t be bothered cooking. Good spot to keep in the back pocket.

Came here with a few friends on a random Tuesday and ended up staying way longer than planned 😅 The staff were sound, really on top of things without hovering. I&rsquo;m vegan and it&rsquo;s always a relief when there&rsquo;s more than one option&mdash;got the veggie curry and it was decent. Place had a nice buzz, not too loud. Would def come back for a proper night out.

The sweetcorn soup was proper comforting, and the tofu had a lovely soft texture. Really hit the spot for a cosy takeaway. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger.
