C. B. (. o. a. M.

Absolutely loved the food here. Everything looked very appealing. Mostly middle Eastern dishes, including vegan. Scrumptious. Best aubergine I've tasted in a long while. I had filo pastry spinach pie. Big portion, with three salads. Chickpeas were very tasty. Cappuccino was hot and strong. Ordered inside. Ate outside.

The food here is delicious. You may choose fish, pork, lamb dish and fill it with rice and vegetables. Portion is huge, you can ask for half of the portion. Great place as well, on the gallery building. Price for such a plate is more then reasonable, especially comparing with cafe in the castle. Definitely recommend this place.

This Cafe inside the Chester Beatty museum looks to be a very inviting place with both inside and lobby sittings that's spacious. Food also looked very delicious. However the line on this day moved extremely slow. 15-20 minutes to move just a few people.

Great vegan afternoon tea! It was just a pity we wanted more but they just do the vegan food by booking before hand... The afternoon tea was 5 savoury options and 5 sweet...

M.

Lovely place inside the Chester Beatty Library. Food is very good, there are vegetarian and vegan option, too. All around is very quite even if there is a lot of people. Around 10 tables outside the cafe and 5 inside. Prices are fair and quality of food for shure better than a lot of diners around (and maybe cheaper too). Enclosed some pics. Try and enjoy.

Really impressed, some of the best food I’ve had in a while. The delivery was quick and easy and the spinach pie was top notch! Keep it up so I can order from you guys again!

The staff there is very friendly especially a young man named Kieran. Without this kind young gentleman I would only rate this place 3 stars.

Really good food and very friendly staff!

Looks like Mediterranean food. Only had a cappuccino. It was ok. The ambiance of sitting in the glass ceiling court yard was the best part.

J. F.

They offer a real unique afternoon tea experience. Really enjoyed it!

My favourite restaurant in Dublin in the most beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. The small salad is especially good value. I love going there as the staff are always so pleasant and helpful. The desserts here are to die for. Visit the Silk Road and spend a most relaxing hour or two in marvellous venue.

no-fuss cafeteria style service, huge salads, great hot lunch, the best meal I've ever had in a library... they actually use spices and flavors, a welcome change from typical pub or museum cafe fare... baklava was a little dry but hey no one's perfect

Agree with posters below. Food is fantastic and excellent value. Staff (especially young dark haired lady) needs to be all fired and replaced. This is unbelievable and not Dublin like. Baffled by combination of great food and very poor staff :-o

Coffee, pastries, lunch, everything I have had at the Silk Road Cafe is excellent, and I've visited a number of times. The fact that it is in the wonderful Chester Beatty Library (free entrance) is great, but it does seem to hide this small gem from the non-museum going public!

This is such a hidden gem in Dublin. We grabbed a quick lunch after a Dublin Castle tour. The flavours, 🙌🏼.. Add it to your to do list, you won’t regret it.

Delicious flavourful food and cakes. Very comfortable and warm atmosphere, really love this place. Staff are great

E. L. C.

Really delicious food and very reasonable prices. Only complaint is that there are too many things to choose and when you are a party of 9 it takes a long time to get each salad choice!!!!

S. L.

Wow. Just wow. Excellent, flavourful lentils, fresh salad and lovely feta filo pastry. Warm vibe and great service. Thanks guys 👍🏻😍🥗❤️👌🏻

Authentic Lebanese cuisine at the centre of Dublin .. at the Chester Beatty Library by the Dubh Linn Gardens..warm friendly..once there always return

O. W.

Food is ok, but the reviews online and in print led us to believe it was going to be amazing. Perfectly fine food, but not amazing. 3.5/5 stars.

W.

Seriously good and reasonably priced. The Chester Beatty Library is on the first floor, also well worth a visit (free admission).

j. p.

If you want to eat healthy, tasty and try something new, go there.. No easy to find, is actually locate inside the library building.. There is a buffet with great food for very reasonable prices

(Translated) Wonderful place! ☺ During a few days in Dublin, I went there twice to eat. Delicious offer and very friendly Asian staff. For both tourists and locals. (Original) Wunderbarer Ort! ☺ Bei wenigen Tagen in Dublin war ich gleich zwei Mal dort, um zu essen. Leckeres Angebot und sehr freundliches, asiatisches Personal. Sowohl für Touristen als auch Einheimische.
