    Well worth a short wait outside after Dublin Marathon. The best curry I've ever had, so tasty. Good value for money for Dublin. Really friendly staff, nice clean restaurant and most importantly delicious food. You HAVE to eat here if you like Indian food and you're visiting Dublin.

    Food was delicious. We had Sag Paneer and Butter Chicken - both super. Fast service. Diwali is very busy and high level of background noise but the service is great and staff very good.
