I had decided not to review restaurants anymore, but I changed my mind because this restaurant is worth of a review. Maybe the best food in Dublin, the owner and the waitresses (I think some of them is her daughter) are all very kind (and...very beautiful, too). Mustafa (I hope the name is right) is a very kind and sociable person, as everybody in this restaurant. You will feel at home here (I felt at home). P.S. I have another advice for you about fresh fish near Rome, not only Ostia, you have to try other to cities as Anzio and Nettuno. See you in ItalyMore

Fabulous experience and the food was great. The menu had something for everyone, the hungry, those just needing a light meal ad the vegetarian. The service was excellent from the point of walk in through the dinner service and then as we left. Indoor and...outdoor dining was available. The seafood is fresh and the catch of the day, the salads were fresh, and the Mediterranean specialties were very very good. No corkage fee so we brought out own bottle, but they do have house wine on the menu. Definitely going back to Keshk whenever on the South side of Dublin. Oh and make sure you look at the desserts going in, they menu doesn't make your mouth water like looing at them. The Pistachio cheesecake and the semolina coconut care were both exceptional.More

This cafe is lovely. It is beautifully presented with exposed brick and white marble. The food came quickly, was delicious with little extras on the side (little cups of soup). The staff were polite and friendly. What’s not to like!!??

We went for a meal on Friday afternoon. Al we can really say is" Superb" From the Service to the food ,even the toilets were immaculate. We have not enjoyed a meal out as much in a long time. We were able to bring our...own wine. No mystery about what we were drinking. No Chateau Mystery here. I had lamb Chops and my wife had Chicken. Both dishes were fab. Desert was also lovely with a good freshly made selection. We are going to arrange for a family night out with our adult family in the very near future. Food was fresh tasty and cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. Cant praise enough. Going back to work through the menu. Thanks Guys.More

Simply one of the best in Dublin. Atmosphere and aesthetic is on point. The food was beautifully presented and was as delicious as it looked. We tried the starters and it was too good. The portions were very big. I tried the special ‘Keshk Chicken’...which was mushroom and chickens served in Filo Pastry bowl and with that I took Spicy Potatoes and they were to DIE FOR!!! The staff was very helpful and super friendly. We couldn’t leave without trying the tea. We took some Egyptian Tea and it was served in vintage cups which were sooo precious and delicate as beautiful as they were. It was a small place so it was quite crowded and noisy so it was a little difficult. One thing that I really liked as to how Halal friendly it was. They don’t sell alcohol there but people are free to bring their if they wish to do so. We also got a place for praying when we asked for it. One of the best experiences we’ve had in Dublin for a restaurant!! Defo recommend to go there!More

Went here with friends, it has changed in location (moved next door) it has a more cafe feel to it. The food was still excellent and plenty of it. Atmosphere great and very good value. It has somewhat lost its restaurant feel but wasn’t disappointed

Fantastic evening - we were delayed with traffic and restaurant so accommodating! Thanks Aneta! Service was amazing - very attentive! We had two fussy kids (ages 10 and 11) with us - one had chargrilled chicken and the other had the lamb chops - both...had rice and pitta breads. Kids said both were the best chicken and lamb EVER!!! Sarah, our fabulous hostess reduced the portion sizes for the kids! Adult starter for two was amazing and mains stunning! Kids had the chocolate fudge cake for dessert - to die for! Both ordering their birthday cakes from Keshk! Fabulous evening and amazing reviews from the kids!More

I had the pleasure of a superb meal at Keshk Cafe on 22nd August with a visitor whom I had always brought to Keshk when they travelled regularly to Dublin from the West Indies because they enjoyed it thoroughly. After Covid restrictions, sadly, it had...been a long time. However, once we experienced the warm greeting and service of the staff, 'time stood still'. To start with, we shared a sumptuous platter with delights such as Tiger Prawns , Warm Goats Cheese, Dolma , Hummus and Pitta Bread. For the main course, my guest chose Shishtaouk Chicken, cubes of chicken marinated in Mediterranean spices chargrilled grilled served with spicy potatoes. I chose the Sea Bass, which was chargrilled to perfection with a delicate balance of herbs and spices that enhanced the fish without being too strong: spicy potatoes were perfect with this dish - which was a 'Master Class' in preparing fish. The 'bar has been set high' in this restaurant since it began serving a variety of dishes of locally sourced fresh ingredients and it has never failed to delight with the balance of the preparation and presentation.More

We regularly visit Keshk Cafe for breakfast/dinner and the quality is always next to none. They’ve started serving homemade cakes as an option all day and OMG they’re sensational. Highly recommend anybody to come and try them. A perfect end to any of their courses...as they’re not too luscious. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️More

On the 2nd of July we had a Caesar salad and Chicken cajun salad for takeaway with spicy potatoes on the side. I can tell you, they were the most amazing and full of flavor salads that you can taste. Everything was so fresh and...tasty!!!!! The chicken was grilled and seasoned and the potatoes soooo goood!!!!! The owner of the cafe was so nice and friendly. He even gave us from the house few pieces of Baclava which was mouthwatering! It was the most amazing experience! I would definitely recommend Keshk Cafe for their extremely good service and food!More
