    One of the best Mediterranean foods I’ve tasted in a long time. Definitely recommend without any hesitation. The way they grill their meat is so perfect it’s so juicy and not dry at all. Just one side note, the baba ganouj has more tahini and the egg plant taste is not there. The rest is 10/10. Our main courses: - kifta - shishtaouk - creamy prawn - charcoal chicken Great experience, thank you keshk… hope to visit again.

    Delicious food and highly recommended. I got grilled chicken breast with roast vegetables on the side. Chicken was juicy, well seasoned, mildly spiced and tasty. Vegetables were roasted well and were delicious. I also got aubergines in tomato sauce. Everything was cooked amazing. I had never tried coffee here thinking its a restaurant so coffee won't be that nice. Oh boy, I was wrong. Good ambiance to go with friends or by yourself.

    Food was really lovely. We had a great time dining there as a groups of friends. Haven’t had a nice vegetarian moussaka in a while and theirs was delicious! The environment was cozy but enough distance from other guests. Staff were very friendly - always asking if we need anything and prompt to serve. The baklavas were also the perfect treat to end the meal. Was a lovely experience!

    Keshk is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Dublin. Never disappointed. They surely are keeping the quality up, which is great. Nice ambiance and food presentation is top notch. Excellent balance of spices, tender meat, good portion size. Bit pricy, but good things don’t come cheap. Highly recommended.

    I’ve been to Keshk a few times in the past and loved it, but this was my first visit to their new premises a few doors down. The food was as tasty as ever, there were four of us and everyone loved their dishes. Staff were very friendly and chatty too. With BYOB it’s great value too, see the bill pic, €90 or so for dinner for four! However I am not a fan of the new space for dinner, it’s VERY bright, lots of overhead lights, no candles on the tables, not very relaxing, anti-hygge. The decor is also a bit odd, not a hint of anything middle eastern about it, lots of photos of Dublin in the past, which feels quite odd. So I’d say grand for lunch, or for dropping in for a coffee, but it doesn’t work for dinner for me.

    Good Food. Great Service. Polite and friendly staff. Definitely will go again. We ordered Dolma which was perfect - 10/10. Spicy Potatoes - Best one's yet. Lamb Moussaka - 6/10. TIP: Lamb needs to be cooked more.

    We had our weekend lunch here. The starters we ordered were really good, but didn't enjoy the main course much. Sufficient portion quantity. The staffs were attentive and service was good.

    Been to Keshk for a cup of coffee many times without reservation. But they were kind enough to accommodate for a coffee and dessert upon our request. Staffs were kind and friendly. Their dessert options were good.

    I’ve been going to Keshk cafe for some time now. Loved their steak and chops 9/10, fish was 7/10, rest of the items 6/10. Ambiance, staff and service is good. Slightly expensive.

    Incredible food, I had the Maghmour(V) and I was positively stuffed by the end of it and struggled to want desert. The staff were are incredibly polite and friendly, and I'd happily eat here again. It is also Halal, for those who require it.😁

    It’s a great breakfast experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing freshly baked pastries, food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable especially Lauren & Sarah. They make great recommendations. I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the breakfast in Keshk. I had a Shakshouka with a black tea. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want a family breakfast sessions. There was also plenty of room for bigger groups.

    Best breakfast in dublin, the shakshoka is amazing and the pastry with beef is super, the dough is very well done , and fluffy. Super yummy

    Keshk cafe is BY FAR the best restaurant in Dublin. The spiced chicken with potatoes is at the top of my list for best meals of all time. The coffee, pastries, desserts, and more are all delicious. The owner, Moustafa, is one of the nicest individuals I’ve ever met—him and Keshk staff make me feel part of a family when I’m there! Eating here is the best decision you could make!

    I came across this cafe and ordered lamb moussaka for lunch. Everything is so good, staff are super friendly, the dish is so yummy. I am a big fan of lamb and this is the best lamb dish I had in Dublin! Definitely I will go back again try other dish

  • 4/5 Kartikeya R. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a good place to have brunch. Food was nice, though there are not many options for vegetarians (4-5 in starters and same in main course). Vegetarian starter menu was repeated in main course menu, so limited options. Do try dolma. It’s has a unique sour taste with refreshing flavours. The staff and service was also quick. Good presentation of dishes and cute cutlery. Owner was there in cafe to recommend dishes. Starters are around 10€ and main course dishes are around 20€, but the portion of main course is good enough for one person.

  • 5/5 Vas V. 7 months ago on Google
    Exceptional Arabic , Greek and Turkish cuisine with fair portion on best quality! We ate charcoal chicken breast served with chilli potatoes, shawarma chicken and for starters we ordered falafel and hummus accompanied with pitta break.. nice choice in baggot street area. However too loud as the place is small so it was very busy Saturday afternoon.. try different day..

  • 5/5 Nadine B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite restaurant in Dublin, I have been going to Kesh for many years and it is always delicious. I highly recommend the hummus as a starter, the grilled salmon as a main with half rice half spicy potatoes 😍! The staff is always very friendly.

  • 5/5 Maria D. 9 months ago on Google
    After having been to the this restaurant on multiple occasions for both lunch and dinner I can confidently say that this restaurant has an amazing formal ambiance and great staff. The menu gives an excellent variety of dishes, along with that this restaurant remains a favourite with many of my friends who I’ve brought to the restaurant with me.

  • 3/5 Pablo Martin R. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was tasty and the portions big but it was nothing outstanding. We got the set menu which I would recommend as it allows you to try a few of the different options they have such as hummus, falafel, etc. The grilled lamb chops were tasty but it was not much for me. The baklava for desert was very good.
