   Overall was very good ,but the service was very poor. staffs should be trained well how to serve customers they were taking plates while we were still having our food thats so disappointing it was like shw was in rush . That’s quiet rude.

   I love Shaku Maku but my party of 4 (including me) was disapptointed on this visit. The restaurant was extremely busy due to Ramadan + staff were under a lot of pressure. As a result the service was poor and there was a very long gap between the arrival of food for some of our group and the others. There was no apologies for the delay. Even that would have made the delay easier to bear!

   We truly enjoyed the food and the overall Iftar experience, thank you for creating a welcoming space for Muslims during Ramadan. One point we’d kindly like to raise is the presence of alcohol being served. While we understand it’s a personal and business choice, many Muslims actively seek out halal-friendly dining spaces that don’t serve alcohol, which can be quite rare in Dublin. We’d love to continue supporting the restaurant and recommend it to our community, but this aspect might make it difficult for some to feel fully comfortable dining in. We hope this feedback is taken with the appreciation and respect with which it’s shared.

   Delicious food! Baba Ghanoush with flatbreads was perfect, followed by beautiful moist chicken and sublime lamb chops. All served with Shaku Maku's incomparable tabbouleh, which is a must! Lovely friendly service completes the experience. We're so lucky to have this gem on our doorstep!

   The Ramadan iftar buffet was disappointing. Most of the meat and chicken were gone by the time we arrived. The restaurant was overcrowded, and the aisles were chaotic. Portions should be larger, as some guests took too much, leaving fewer options. The chicken was also refilled poorly.

   Overall, we had a lovely experience—your warm atmosphere and beautiful Middle Eastern decor made for a great setting, and the service was friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed the flavors of the dishes, however, we did find that the portion sizes were a bit smaller than we had hoped. In particular, the mixed grill was a little on the small side. Thank you for the great hospitality—we appreciate the effort your team puts into creating a wonderful dining experience. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

    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
