wow
Are these the awards for most mediocre places?
No way is Burdocks Rathmines best chipper
that’s enough to doubt all the others getting a mention

I like Yamamori but its more fusion than Japanese- which is probably why they are so popular- two on George Street alone.
There is absolutely no way it is the best Japanese.
Would this be the usual owners and staff voting for themselves malarkey.
the best indian takeaway around dublin is the malabar tadka in sandyford.
Naa- that’s Janet’s better half.
…best Dublin joke ever:
Q where is the Taj Mahal
A Lincoln Place
Saba to go, Ranelagh wins best Thai and Saba to go, Rathgar wins best in Leinster.
How does that work exactly?!
To me, this is like the Eir “best customer service” rubbish a few weeks ago. A marketing exercise by Just Eat.
Yes- if it was by the Grindr app- I’d probably win.
An award! Really! Really now! An award!
What about the workers?
