Ethnic Restaurants (Moore St, Parnell St) recommendations

JuliusCaesar

I haven't yet eaten in restaurants in this locality but have been told there are good ones.

So what do you recommend? Restaurant, dishes, location?

- Next to LIDL, The Moore Street Food Hall is great value - try any of the Mauritian dishes, the generally vary, first stall on the right. All the stalls are great though.

- Mandarin/China House across the road between Tesco and Dominic Street is also good value, tasty and friendly.

- Lee Kee further up towards Gardiner Street (still on Parnell Street ) . Anything Ive had from the menu so far has been excellent. Try the stir fried morning glory as an accompaniment dish.

- Not exactly ethnic but The Reuben sandwich at cafe 147 across the road is awesome.

- Pho at Pho Viet further down towards O'Connell St.

The Moore Street food hall is excellent.

Cafe 147 has a great selection but the Reuben is always fabulous.

Is the food hall open in the evenings? I was thinking getting dinner 7.30-8pm or thereabouts

Usually open til 8. 9 on Thurs and Fri, 7 at the weekend. The Mauritian place is great value - lovely food.

Apparently there is a good Korean BBQ place on Parnell Street.

Just noticed no-one has mentioned M&L on Cathedral street - Szechuan place with a pretty interesting Chinese menu - but you might need to be firm that you're not just interested in the 'Irish' menu.

I second pho viet. Really authentic.

Not Moore or Parnell St, but Madina on Mary Street is probably the best Indian in the city that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Madina is great. Their Saag Chana is the business. Friendly staff too.

And I was there last week and it's also excellent. Great value. Some good desserts too and I really like their special fresh lime soda.

The best thing is you can order any of the 100 things and they all impress you, great spot. Not many places can leave me full on 3.50

Heading away from O'Connell St towards Capel St or towards Gardiner St? ie east or west of O'Connell St?

dudara

Madina for Indian food

Pho Viet or Aobaba for Vietnamese

Hilan or Kimchi for Korean

New Star Sichuan, Mandarin House, Hilan, Jojos, Lao Hot Pot or M&L for Chinese

Lee Kee I'd say. Cracking spot.

My son was in Delhi o'deli yesterday and was raving about it.
Think it's all vegetarian but with a good vegan selection too.

Tar.Aldarion

Yeah there are like 20 vegan dishes. My brothers were dubious reading the menu because there was no meat (and they knew what nothing was)...they took menus with them afterward haha

Did not know about Delhi O'Deli - will hopefully check them out next weekend.
