    Gave The Westward Ho a spin this evening for our dinner. It is basically a Curragower outpost with the favourites from their menu in town. I had mussells with sourdough, herself had the burger which was delicious. The mussells were good and I love sourdough so win win. Only thing was they come in a pot in the CG but came served in a bowl meaning they were going cold by the time I got them. I am being particualrly nitpicky here though, JBJ will return. Decor and atmosphere were top notch, next time I'll be getting her to drive for a taste of what looked like some nice porter.

    I'm over 10 years in Limerick and I finally got around to trying the mogul emperor. Well all I'll say is I have missed out for those 10 years. Absolutely fantastic food, if a little pricey. Beats the hell out of an MSG loaded chinese anyday of the week. I was very impressed with the sheer variety of food on offer and even if you dont like spice there was plenty to choose from.

    Yeah, really like the Mogul, don't understand why they don't spruce the place up a bit, it really could be a fantastic place, got a vindaloo in there once, family were in hysterics looking at me with the sweat pumping out of me despite five pints of water, stick to their Madras now

    We are thinking of getting a takeaway as we've had SOI before and its was very nice but I've been hearing a lot of good things about the Mogul

    It's spruced up beyond recognition to when I lived in Limerick previously about 7 years ago.

    I quite like the dining room as it is currently.

    Oh how do you get delivery from there? I never knew that and wouldn't mind getting a delivery from there over the NY period. They don't seem to appear on any of the delivery websites!

    Call them on the phone, tell them you want to order food for delivery, pay cash on delivery, that's all we do.

    Ah that would make sense! Maybe it sounded like a stupid question. Its a pity they are not on any online delivery sites though would make life a lot easier. Do they charge for delivery?

    Not 100% sure, they may add a couple of euro

    Not to sound like a no all but the worst thing you can do is drink water to “cure” a hot curry!

    Grin and bare it and individually your mouth will acclimatise (provided you’re some bit okay with spicy food)

    Actually, what I found & not sure exactly what it is but they, with their takeaways & also on their tables supply what I believe is an onion dish, could be wrong but it completely relieves the excessive hotness & I'm fine with spicy food

    A week later and ms moneypenny and I are still raving about mogul emperor.

    We went for a spin yesterday and ended up in Nevilles out past Adare. It was jam packed but we got a table easy enough. Only went for a starter each and a portion of chips but it was very nice. Don't know would we make the trip out especially for it but it was good enough to go back. I have a classic/summer car that we love to take off on a nice sunny days (not an Aston sadly) and I can see us tipping out there as it is a lovely drive out.

    Very popular spot is Nevilles despite it kinda being in the middle of nowhere.

    Milk is actually your best bet to relive chilli burn. The dairy fats negate the heat. Water as you said is no good to you

    Yeah I love the Mogul. Unfortunately the butter chicken is so good that it is hard to try anything else...
    FYI takeout is cheaper there than sitting in. Something like 10 vs 12 euro (plus free rice with takeout). On the flipside eating in they give you a starter tray, poppadom + sauces, for free.

    Some Indian restaurants will have a yoghurt drink on the menu. Great for releaving the chilli burn :-)

    Went to the Mogul tonight for the first time based on this thread.

    My god, it's a hidden gem. I can't believe I walked past this place for nigh on 20 years without ever giving it a try.

    Will be back for more really soon.

    A portion of Riata is good to cool down the hotter curries. Mogul is a fantastic Indian. The outside is not anything to write home about but it certainly is the best Indian I have had in town.
