Indian Resturant any good ones??

Shinyboots

hey,

Anyone recomend a good Indian Resturant in Dublin City Centre!!

dudara

Jaipur on Georges Street is v. good. Not the cheapest mind.

Maloti (sp??) near break for the border is very nice and has a very reasonable set menu.

There's a great Nepalese restaurant called Monty's on Eustace Street in Temple Bar. Quite similar to Indian, but in my opinion much tastier and less oily.

Not strictly city centre but a short luas ride and walk from smithfield is the Green Chilli in stoneybatter. Went on sunday for their set menu deal whic runs all night
sun to thurs and is basically any started, any main and any rice for 15 euro. Of course they didn't have any prawns for the dearest starter that we ordered (even though I asked did everything apply) but the quality and quantity was excellent. They also do a takeaway service which seems to be popular though
the restaurant wasn't busy when we were there (3 other customers)

That's the right name I think. Food is OK, a kind of modern take on Indian cuisine, but bring a torch to be able to read the menu. It's dark in there.

If you're willing to hop on the Green Luas, then you should try Ananda in Dundrum Shopping Centre. Modern Indian cooking - it's a collaboration between Jaipur and a Michelin-starred Indian chef from London.

I'd steer clear of the Saagar on Harcourt St.

Organised a big night out with the lads (must have been thirty of us) and by God did they fleece us!

Starters were average and below, nothing special. Mains were around the 20 mark and didn't come with rice (which was not mentioned on the menu, or by the staff). You got your main in what I can only describe as a gravy boat and rice was about 5 quid extra. This single portion of rice came in something about the size of an ashtray and certainly didn't look right on the plate(a "large" portion for two was about the size of a cereal bowl).

Staff gave us a free bowl or two when we complained, but really, we were being ****ed over royal with the portions and the price.

Not one person was satisfied with their meal and it left me looking the idiot because I'd booked the place.

Never again.

Jaipur is very good but, as was already said, quite expensive.

Ditto - had a work do there and it was very poor. Possibly the blandest food I've ever tasted.

The Green Chilli too

Rasam in Glasthule,Ananda in Dundrum and Indian Summer in Stillorgan are the best Indian restaurants in Dublin, all the others are curry houses, some good, some not so good.

Just had an excellent lunch in Ananda today.

4 tapas (choose from vegetarian or non-vegetarian) plus a main course plus tea/coffee for only e16. The tapas were amazing - really tasty little bites.

Lunch available 12.30 - 15.00 Tues - Sun.

Ananda in Dundrum and Chakra in Greystones are probably the best Indian restaurants I've been in in Dublin. They are both owned by the Jaipur group as well as far as I know.

I also like A Taste of India in South William Street in town if I just want a cheap Indian curry. As low as 13 euros for the early bird menu.

Silver Oak in Mullingar is a really fantastic Indian and the service is first class. Not too expensive either

+1 for both Ananda and Indian Summer!

Indian Summer opened a wine/tapas bar in August of this year and it is amazing but so few people know about it, definitely worth a try

I forget the name of the place but there's a reasonable & very tasty Indian restaurant beyond the end of Henry St, on the right just before getting to Capel St. They specialise in Dosa's. And while in there, there's a great world food store right next to it.

Here's a description of my trips to Ananda - Recent and Older.

Oh, and here are my thoughts on Madina - I'm not overly mad on it as I find it too hit and miss

Spice n' Rice on Dorset Street is very good take away in my opinion, good menu selection, reasonable prices, and you can see them cook it there and then.

I ordered from the Ashtown branch of Bombay Pantry last night 5th Nov 09. Dublin has traditionally been served by a range of poor or average Indian take aways. Bombay Pantry has been good in the past and has developed a good reputation. I have eat from the Fairview branch and the Rathmines branch in the past and have enjoyed the experience.

This was the second time I used the Ashtown branch. Our first experience was poor but we put this down to a one-off and did not complain. However last nights awful meal compelled me to write this review to warn any potential customers and urge them not to eat from there.

The two main dishes we order were Beef Karahi (with tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, ginger,garlic and fresh green chillies) and Lamb Bhuna (with yoghurt and spices, braised with diced potatoes ginger juliennes, green chillies and garlic). As the menu states these should be be fundamentally different dishes. But the base sauce that provided was exactly same and both were so over-spiced that neither my wife and I could not eat them. I am part Indian and we have been to India several times. I do expect Irish Indian take-aways to be reflective of Indian food however I do expect a little respect to be shown to Irish customers who deserve and expect Indian food. However this food would not pass the test of any Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi.

The other starters and nan bread tasted like it had been cooked several days before, and just reheated, which in turn had over cooked the product. Finally we found two human hairs in one of the dishes. This was the final straw I called the Branch and complained. I got several apologies but no indication that the Bombay Pantry valued me as a regular customer and wanted to make amends.

Frankly I do not believe BP when they say 'We are dedicated to producing the best Indian food for our customers. Using the freshest ingredients, highly experienced native chefs and state of the art kitchens, our promise is 100% natural fresh food cooked to order.

It is not, well cooked, authentic or of any reasonable quality.

All in all I am so disappointed that I spent over 40 Euros on what I consider rubbish.

I suspect that what you write here are lies designed to discredit the excellent Bombay Pantry, for whatever reason. Your Boards account has just three posts (1, 2, 3), each of which is the same as this one that I've quoted, copied and pasted. This is very suspicious, and makes me suspect that you have an ulterior motive by posting this.

As a indian living in Ireland.I find the standards of curry very poor. I have yet to be impressed by curries here. The prices are scandalous. A few weeks ago our flight got diverted to Manchester. 13 lads went out for a meal and the guys could not believe how inexpensive it was for a meal. I just had a scan of the prices of the Ananda in dundrum, i am sorry but no way will i pay that kind of prices for a curry. Plus i am sure my mammy can do way better.

Agree completely with you Indian/ Chinese food is way over priced, after been to India many times I wouldn't go near an Indian restaurant in this country it's over priced and the quality of ingredients isn't the best.... But hey if your happy paying way over the odds more fool you
