Stepping away from Dublin City and out into the suburbs now, Keshk is a restaurant in the beautiful village of Ballsbridge that serves up a wide range of Turkish and Mediterranean dishes. One of our favourite things about Keshk is that it’s a BYOB restaurant with no corkage fee! They also feature lunch and dinner menus, so whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or want to settle down in an intimate and cosy restaurant with your significant other, the options are plentiful throughout the day. If you’re heading in for lunch before a shopping day in Dublin, why not try a Charcoaled Kafta for €14.95 with minced lamb and onions, fresh parsley, and a mix of seven Mediterranean spices, served with basmati rice or homemade potatoes. If it’s a dinner you’re after, Keshk will serve up a Lamb Moussaka for just €19.95. An oven baked dish of layered potatoes and aubergines, minced lamb, separated by tomatoes, garlic, and onion, then topped with a béchamel sauce. We can’t get enough of Keshk!

Rounding off the list, we’ve got Ella’s Heaven located on Talbot Street in Dublin. Ella’s is an all-day lunch and dessert diner featuring an array of Middle Eastern small plates and treats. It’s a beautiful niche spot, that would impress any guest on a day trip. Start your experience in Ella’s with an Adjaruli Khachapuri small plate, followed up by a Chakhokhbili dish. Ella’s undoubtedly features some of the most authentic Turkish foods in Dublin. If you’re stopping by for a quick bite though, their dessert and hot drinks menu will have you set for a day walking around Dublin’s old streets. We’d recommend a mussel baklava with pistachio coupled with an authentic Turkish coffee.
