Cork is better - Edit
I was so disappointed that Umi let me down in Dublin when it's been so reliable in Cork. To be fair, I did switch from my go-to Palestinian falafel to try the plant-based shawarma, which I found untasty and too spicy. I also tried the mint lemonade which was 99% mint and just tasted odd. As I was still hungry after the shawarma I ordered the batata harra (which I usually get with the Palestinian falafel in the meal deal) and found that this too somehow didn't taste good. Prices are higher here than in Cork too. I would be hesitant to return here.
Read morePros: All vegetarian, Many vegan options, Like the chain
Cons: Prices higher than Cork , Not tasty flavours

Delicious and healthy food - Edit
A healthy and vegan lunch spot in the heart of Dublin. You can build your own bowl with fresh ingredients. Definitely a great choice for lunch

Excellent place for a quick bite - Edit
So many vegan options to choose from - the "v" on the menu was vegan😄For mains, there's a vegan burger, falafel wrap, or plant based shawarma.
Read moreI went shawarma and it was very tasty indeed. Plant based chick*n with lots of tasty veggies and sauce.
Only downside was because it was so popular it was pretty noisy, on a Saturday evening, we struggled to hear each other so didn't stay in for long.
Very good food makes it worth it.
Would definitely go back.

Umi, we love you - Edit
My partner and I work in the city centre and eat at at Umi at least once a week. We cannot stay away from the Palestinian falafel, I'd easily eat it every single day for lunch 😂 the staff are lovely and the place is always packed out because it's popular but we've always managed to get a table. Love you, Umi xoxo

This restaurant should be called Yu-Umi Falafel - Edit
We tried this restaurant during ou visit of Dublin. A really good meal we had here ! Different types of falafel sandwiches, mezzes, salads, all home-cooked and perfectly seasoned. We took the Palestinian sandwich with a lentil soup that was excellent ! Also took the Baba ganoush which was delicious.

decent but junky tasting - Edit
at first bite I was very impressed with the baba ganoush. the pitta was really nice that came with it! I also got the palestinian pitta/sandwich and it was ok but a bit salty. the falafel and pickles overwhelmed any other flavours in there which I was disappointed by as I prefer simple/fresh food that doesn’t taste too processed
Read morePros: plenty of vegan options, lovely pitta
Cons: a bit salty, falafel overpowers all other flavours in pitta

A Dublín Staple - Edit
A Dublin must have! There are a few locations across the city. All options are marked well for vegan options. They have some really good combos that are available during certain times.

Reliable lunch chain with labeled vegan options. Ireland doesn’t have a ton of vegan options so we visited various locations on our trip.

Great middle eastern food - Edit
Had food there three times during my stay - it was just so good. I tried the Palestinian sandwich, the lentil salad and the fatoush with falafel, and everything was sooo delicious, well-balanced, fresh... Their lemonade is also a must-try. The food comes out super quick, staff is friendly and attentive. Would have had many other vegan choices, even vegan baklava.
