Brother Hubbard North - Dublin

So delighted to happen across this restaurant today for lunch. Perfect sharing portions, interesting flavours of the Middle East. The Lamb Shawarma was perfect; the pickles balancing out any richness. Too often in Ireland it’s the same old menu everywhere. Brother Hubbard knows spice flavour. Well done all. Excellent food, fast efficient service, great value.

I'm disappointed to say that my experience at this restaurant was quite a letdown. We chose this charming spot for brunch with friends, enticed by its promising menu featuring a variety of dishes, including vegetarian options. The menu indicated a special promotion: a discounted price for a main course and a drink. However, it failed to mention the restriction on serving alcoholic beverages before 12:30 PM on Sundays. When we placed our order, we unwittingly included alcoholic drinks. After a while, another waitress informed us that we had to change our order because alcoholic beverages couldn't be served. We complied, but when the bill arrived, the alcoholic drinks were still on it. This was puzzling and frustrating. If the restaurant knows it can't serve alcohol, it should not have been on the menu or the order in the first place. Moreover, my choice of babaganoush was disappointing. Instead of the classic babaganoush, I received a simple dish of roasted eggplant. Despite these issues, the food was decent. However, the overall experience was marred by the confusion and lack of attention to detail. I hope the restaurant addresses these concerns, as clear communication and accuracy are vital for a positive dining experience. Here's to hoping for a more seamless experience in the future.

We ate cheesecake and Noah desserts, they were delicious, I recommend them. We drank Earl Gray tea and I liked it very much. Prices are a bit expensive, the environment is calm and peaceful. Staff could have been a little more helpful Because my order was wrong : but it's not a problem, I was satisfied with the overall situation, thank you for everything

I'm sorry but (at least for brunch) it is just not worth the hype. We didn't mind waiting for a table, but once we were seated and had ordered, it took 30 minutes to get our coffees and then a further 20 until our food arrived. Neither the coffees nor the food were hot. My fiancé ordered a second coffee which also took about 15 minutes. It really seems that they have too few staff for so many tables if this is the case, they should not seat more people than they can serve at one time. There are so many great brunch options in Dublin city centre, and most of those will also offer more choice.

I can’t recommend more this place the taste of the food is really good, even the chocolate cake tastes different as usual one I must say much better, the hummus were so delicious and I’ve triyed many more before. The place is big and clean, there is not tap water for free. When you ask for your bill they give you a mint tea no charge. Good value for money. No needed reservation in advance. Service of the coffe a little slow. Disable toilet available here which one is very thoughtfully.
