Fast, affordable, and healthy options! It was very busy when we went, but luckily we got some side tables. The service was very fast, like fast food resto.

The vegan Cig Kofte was amazing. It came with salad. Highly recommend

Best Turkish food in Dublin. Had the mixed doner and it was superb. Reyna is always very busy and seating is limited. Service was quick and polite.

A small funky little Turkish restaurant in the heart of Dublin. Reasonably priced with fast service and very busy.

I ordered Dolmades as a side (probably the best Dolmades I’ve ate apart from my grandads) and Mixed Shish as a main, both were amazing!

The lentil soup looked stunning so I’d recommend that to anyone who knows about it!

This is THE best and most authentic Turkish food you can find in Ireland. Also everything is super tidy and clean - food exceptional. I whish I could rate this 10/5.

They have a gyro meat carving machine and it's so interesting to watch. Also the food was amazing. Ayran was interesting but definitely an acquired taste, also looked like there was tea of some description that I missed out on. Would definitely return if I lived nearby
Loved the food! Also the service was great :) Really nice place, highly recommend. Definitely will visit again soon
Great food and experience! We split a BBQ platter for two. Good portion size and service. Food was flavorful and fresh.

This is positively the best kebab/donair place I’ve ever been to. It’s authentic, very reasonably priced, and prepared with speed. The only downside is the dining area is quite small and always packed (for obvious reasons😋) so it can be frustrating trying to find a seat

Amazingly fresh and legit Turkish kebabs. Lamb and chicken on the döner rotisserie. Kebabs cooked on the charcoal grill and yufka / pita fresh in the tandir clay oven.

Better than what you find in Istanbul. Have tried the lamb, mixed lamb and chicken, and the köfte. Yea, it was that good!

Highly recommended!

We are staying 2 min away from this place in Dublin and wanted to try something different than the Irish food. The place was busy so that immediately a great sign! We decided to order take away since we were staying close by. The have a clay oven where they make fresh bread and next to it charcoal grill where all the kabob action are happening. The experience from start to finish was delightful. We ordered a combination platter and a shawarma mixed plate with 2 Ayran! Amazing taste and portions were really good. I think we’ll definitely stop by again before we leave town.
Really enjoyed the food here. Lovely people and massive portions. I thought I was ordering a sampler platter for 1 and it was 3 giant plates of food. So delicious, though!
From ambience, service and food everything were spot on. This is such a humble restaurant at the heart of portobello. We tried the Hummus, falafel and halloumi grilled starters- tasted amazing. I’ve been to other Lebanese/Mediterranean restaurants and the hummus and falafel tastes different from other places but good different in terms of taste. Aubergine mousakka was soothing , I had the dish by itself (rice is undercooked for my liking, probably that’s how it’s cooked traditionally-no problem) Chicken Shish it was juicy and succulent!! All of the salads and pickles were delicious too.
Delicious food and friendly staff, I really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.
I came here with my friends and had an amazing experience! Loved the decor, the food was delish and the service was top notch. We also had the hookah and everything reminded me of the middle east where I grew up. The desserts were the best, I'd die for the kunafeh. Must visit for a good meal!!
I had a great experience in Rotana Cafe. I went there for dinner with my boyfriend and we loved our food. It was a different experience as I am quite new to Lebanese cosine, but for sure I will be back!
There is also a plate with many "starters" that you have the chance to experiment everything almost.. really good!
Very good place. Can be a little bit pricey for some dishes (small portions) but very tasty. Loved the mixed grill, the falafel full of flavor and yummy hummus and the halloumi bread. You can bring your own wine too. Friendly staff too.
