    Here is a very recent thread on Cork restaurants, not sure about pricing though...( a lot of places have early bird menus)

    that's Eastern Tandoori, the best Indian restaurant in Cork IMO.

    Oh I have been there and loved it! Indian nyom nyom

    I would rate it and Bombay Palace on Cook St as the two best Indian restaurants in Cork (both as good as each other in my opinion).

    Not so cheap, considering the quality, last time I was there. I remember it used to be very reasonable, but the prices have risen somewhat, but the food quality has not.

    totally agree, and do they still do that dumb exercise of making people wait for a few minutes before showing them to a table despite there being loads of free tables in the place! overpriced burgers & pizzas really.

    FYP

    Eastern Tandoori is one of the worst Indians I've eaten in. I have to say that Bombay is outstanding.

    Went to Jacques last night, was Dad's birthday. Absolutely savage steak, he was happy out. 3 starters, 3 mains, 2 deserts, a bottle of house red & a coffee came to €155.
