   A nice restaurant. Good food. Starters were nicer than the Mains. Presenration of Mains was poor. My friend ordered the mixed grill of kebebs... looked very dry as no hot sauce served with it. Lebanese chicken was tasty but the chips were just ok. I ordered the shrimps but sauce was bland... we all agreed the main course could have been hotter. €84 for 3 x starters and 3 x Mains. Reasonable. Staff were nice . No delays on service

   We booked a table and got there 2 minutes late and our table wasn't ready. Our Lebanese grilled chicken was charred and can't taste much off it. We ordered falafel for starters and was expecting 5 falafels as per the menu and only received 4 falafels. I did enjoy the baba gnoush.

   One of my favourite restaurants in Dublin. Food is amazing, staff are so lovely, you feel really taken care of and it's got such a great atmosphere. We went first night of Ramadan Iftar, my partner is Muslim and we're so used to bringing dates for him to break fast so it was such a beautiful touch that dates and ayran were there on the table for him. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

   We had a lovely night. We had a table for 3. We ordered 3 different starters and 3 different mains and all were delicious. Value for money spot on. The kind of place we would return to as it was a memorable meal. Best restaurant in Rathmines and we have sampled most of them. Lovely vibe too with great service.

   We booked the appointment but due to some reasons we weren’t able to dine in there. The boss brought us to the restaurant near by. He felt awful about the situation and gave us a complimentary meal as an apology. The employer was an exceptional boss, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him without any hesitation.

    We booked a table for two @ 9pm. Shaku Maku was abuzz with young people, and the restaurant was full. The girl who brought us to our table disappeared, and we had to keep asking for table service and to get our food orders. Food was lovely, different, and authentic to Middle Eastern culture, which was the only plus of the night. I'll give this a 2-star rating.
