    Only discovered that Shaku Maku existed when looking for a Middle Eastern place in Dublin. Wish we had discovered it earlier. The food was amazing. Would highly recommend.

    The food was amazing, it was all so tasty. We loved trying all the different dishes that came with the mezze. A lot of us really enjoyed the lamb for a main course. We couldn't fault a single thing. I enjoyed finishing off my meal with a mint tea and baklava. We all appreciated the fantastic conversation with the owner, he was so friendly and his story is so interesting. We would recommend this restaurant 100%, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

    Genuinely the best meal we’ve had in a very long time. Everything was fresh, came out at perfect times all full of exceptional flavour and the staff were incredibly attentive. An all round 10/10 experience, we will be back for sure!

    First time dining there, won’t be the last. Shared the mezze for two definitely 👍 from both of us then came the Lebanese chicken. Omg. It was divine. Then we shared the rice pudding . Lovely staff. Great to see a beautifully family run business. Bring back the mural. Thank you for looking after us. 🇮🇪🇵🇸

    Very enjoyable experience. Main courses are generous portions so don't go mad ordering. The pizzas are very good as are the mear dishes. The hummus and other sides are very good. House wine is quite good and well priced.

    I had a gorgeous lunch here with 2 friends. We shared the vegan mezze, veg tagine, falafel and a maneesh. All were fab and big portions. Great value. Love this place.
