    Glistening Lamb and Chicken Donner. Delicious!
    Mark H.

    While walking to take the Teeling Distillery tour, I walked by Passion 4 Food where rich and enticing smells of roasting meat and spices wafted from the open kitchen right out the door. Through the window I saw upright spits of lamb and chicken. There were people standing in line and it appeared to me that they have a booming take away business. I stopped to take a picture of the sign and returned later that night. I'm from San Francisco, California and we have a lot of middle eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Passion 4 food effortlessly exceeded my expectations. I've been in Ireland now for three weeks and this is the only restaurant I have returned to patronize. 1) The restaurant is super-clean and organized. It is well staffed and busy. These are all good signs. A busy restaurant means the food is turning over and fresh. The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain the menu items to me. Another word on freshness, while I was eating, the restaurant's food order arrived from the purveyor and you could see the vegetables were crisp and the chicken was pristine. 2) I ordered the bbq lamb. Not only was it delicious; they marinate it in light spices and perhaps lemon, and it was perfectly cooked. The lamb was absolutely succulent and tender. The perfect bits of char and glistening fat melded the flavors together as the spices entertained my taste buds. I read another review (with photos) where it looked like our man's lamb was overcooked. If that happens, tell the staff and give them a chance to correct it. The second time I ate at Passion 4 Food, I'd been thinking about the place for a week. I ordered the Lamb/Chicken Donner plate. This is the meat they cut off of the rotisserie. Amazingly, the chicken was as juicy and delicious and the lamb I'd devoured on my first visit. 3) VALUE: I spent $8 on my second visit and my plate was loaded with a mound of meat, rice, salad and sauce. Get in there and eat!

    Stumbled into this place when the place I wanted to go was closed. I love shawarma so I was pretty excited. The portions are enormous and my gyro was very flavorful with great textures. These guys really care about making good, cheap food. They were joking around with customers, giving out free pita and seemed to be enjoying themselves. A fun place.

    Half of extra tender spring lamb ribs with special secret sauce. Bullshit spotted.

    Extra tender spring lamb ribs bbq with our secret sauce. That's what they advertise, what I got ? Check the picture. 4 miserable extra burn uber chewy lamb ribs. I hike there ( yes hike because I live on the north side and its quite a walk to get there ) thanks to a fabulous article on the Lovin Dublin which consider Passion 4 food and I quote " The best Kebab in Dublin ". I strongly suspect that they took a briefcase full of cash and gold in exchange cuz this is BULLSHIT. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO COMPARE TO ZEITOUN. YOUR HEARD ME, NOTHING PERIOD

    The chicken wings are just the absolute best! Charcoal grilled spicy pieces that compete with any backyard barbecue. So good.

    When I think of beef stew, I think of my mom's homemade version. So one of the things I was most…read morelooking forward to in Ireland was trying authentic Irish stew. Our first meal in Dublin was at The Old Mill Restaurant, right in the heart of Temple Bar. It's been serving traditional Irish fare since the 1980s and has become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors looking for classic comfort food. After about a 20-minute wait, we were seated in the warm, inviting dining room. Susan ordered the mussels, one of her favorites, while I went with the Traditional Irish Stew and my daughter chose the Braised Beef & Guinness Stew. Both were exactly what we hoped for: hearty, flavorful, and perfect after a day of sightseeing. I finally understood why the Guinness stew had such a rich, dark color, and I have to admit, I came home a big fan of Irish stew. We finished with the Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding topped with fresh cream and custard, a comforting dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. Service, atmosphere, value, and food were all five out of five. We also enjoyed chatting with the floor manager, whose pride in the restaurant and his team was obvious. That kind of hospitality made a great meal even more memorable.

    I wanted to love this place, but it missed in several areas. We had reservations and they were…read moretaking walk-ins. They told us our table was ready at the same time they were seating a walk-in. Our table was next to the window with decent space between tables, I saw the walk-in complain that where he was getting sat was in the middle of the restaurant with no space between the next table. He ended up just taking our table even with the waitress saying it wasn't his. They just shrugged and told us to sit in the middle. The mussels were good, and they had gluten free bread, but there were limited gluten free options, even the Shepards pie wasn't gluten free. I was hoping a mash potato topping would be available, but only the Irish stew. This had lamb, but also chicken, so you had to hunt down the lamb. The beef stew was good, but the overall experience and being squeezed in shoulder to shoulder made me feel like I stumbled into a tourist trap. I wouldn't recommend.

We nearly broke our rule on not eating at the same restaurant twice while on vacation. Every single dish that came to our table was a small revelation. The flavors were bold, the presentation was beautiful, and you could tell real care went into every plate. We tried a little bit of everything and there was not a single miss. Huge shoutout to our server Matt, who took care of us all night. You can tell he has deep roots in this community and genuine pride in the history of the place, and it showed in how he talked about the menu and the restaurant. He made the whole experience even better with his warmth and knowledge. If you are visiting Dublin, do not skip The Boxty House. Ask for Matt if you can. Five stars, easily.

It was not too loud in our seats by the window where we could watch the action in Temple Bar. Boxty - think of a potato version of a crepe (a little thicker) - Gaelic boxty - 4/5 solid offering with a generous portion of steak on top of the boxty and with mushrooms and mushroom sauce - Chicken boxty - 4/5 chicken breast wrapped in boxty with a roasted red pepper on top and slice of chorizo (I didn't care much for the chorizo but my partner happily ate it) with tasty sauce with cooked chopped onions - concannon - 4/5 basically mashed potatoes on top of a little bit of cooked kale (said cabbage too but I didn't see it) - green beans with lemon and goat cheese - 4/5, tangy lemon forward I know people say this is touristy and that is likely since it is in Temple Bar and I don't see why that's a problem! Definitely worth trying when you're in the area.

We were waited on by servers as well as the lovely bartender, Bella. Great service all around! I ordered the seafood chowder and I will be dreaming about this meal for a long time. It was loaded with fresh fish and so perfectly seasoned. The portion size was excellent - I wish more places offered smaller portions like this. The drinks were wonderful and made with care.

Menu has a good selection of Irish dishes from seafood chowder up to lamb stew and pies. We ordered the potato soup, seafood chowder, 'banjo' burger with onion rings. The soups arrived first and the seafood chowder was loaded with huge pieces of fish, potatoes (not many) with a creamy rich base. Flavor was incredible and in itself a full meal. Served in a large crock style bowl. The potato soup was minus any whole potatoes. It was a rich creamy base with plenty of flavor and very hearty. The burger was really a double cheeseburger with plenty of cheese, grilled onions, what appeared to be a mayonnaise based sauce on a soft hamburger roll. Really tall enough that it was tough getting your mouth around it. Very well seasoned burgers and the onions were a nice touch. The onion rings were huge and had a very light batter on them. They served in a metal bowl to keep them hot. For dessert the apple crumble was ordered which was served in a large dish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This could have been warmer but still was good.. The 5 star rating is for the chowder as it outshone the rest of the meal although the burger was definitely a close second. Definitely will return to try other dishes when we come back to the city.
