Stopped by Konkan to celebrate my anniversary several weeks ago. My partner is Indian and so she was hoping to find somewhere in Dublin with a finer, elegant take on Indian food. Luckily, I found Konkan in time for the date and so we came in around 5:30/6 on a Sunday evening for dinner. We decided to go with their tasting menu - something I was very happy to see considering it's a rare sight in an Indian restaurant in the US (my home). For starters, they brought us some poppadums and assorted chutneys - these were fantastic. I have had poppadums before, but the chutney here was what made the meal stand out. For the next plate, we were each given a plate of appetizers to sample including samosa chaat, Seekh Kebab, and Chicken Pepper Fry. They were all amazing although my ranking is probably seekh kebab, then samosa chaat, and then chicken pepper fry. For the main course, we were brought out garlic and plain naan along with Chicken Jalfrezi, Malabar Lamb Curry and Butter Prawns. Once again all were delicious, but the butter prawns were the standout for both of us. We decided to finish the meal off with chocolate fudge cake and vanilla ice cream. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, the service was friendly and quick, and the place was beautiful. It is a small place so make a reservation or come early. Highly recommend coming here! read more

After many days of endless travels and adventures, we were exhausted. We decided to order delivery to our hotel instead of going to the restaurant. The restaurant website is easy to use and you can both view the menu or order for pickup or delivery. There are photos for many items to help you decide if you're not familiar with Indian food. It arrived at the hotel lobby 20 minutes earlier than estimated. The driver was friendly and the food was hot and SO GOOD. I do with they had sent cutlery, as we clearly noted we were in a hotel, but luckily our hotel had plates and silverware available. We ordered: Samosa with mango chutney-really crispy, hot, and tasty. The order is for one. Spinach and Potato tikki: my favorite of the apps. Round discs filled with tender potatoes and amazing seasonings. Lamb biryani: very unique and flavorful. A significant kick, as a heads up if you do/do not like spice. Never had biryani with cashews and golden raisins before. The lamb was falling apart, it was so tender. Rice cooked perfectly. Butter chicken with added vegetables: really tender meat and the vegetables were cooked just right and were swimming in the yummy tomato butter sauce. Garlic naan: this was utterly HUGE and the only thing we felt "meh" about. It is practically must that you have naan with Indian dishes to sop up the delish sauces, but I would pass on this next time. Would definitely try this restaurant again when in Dublin. I hope to eat in the actual restaurant next time. Yum. read more

Great little place, possibly the best samosas we've ever had! Well worth the short walk from St Stephen's

Konkan was amazing. We were there during the first week indoor dining opened up in July, had no problem getting a reservation and were seated right when we arrived. The restaurant looked great, loved the decor. We started with the samosas, and they were FANTASTIC. I don't normally post food pics on instagram, but I did post these. We had a couple mains - I think for sure the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Tarka Dal, also great. Highly recommend. Food fantastic, service was very welcoming. read more

Top tier Indian food. Butter chicken, garlic and coriander Naan, Samosas, Onion Bhajis. We got the early bird special and had a reservation. The inside is pretty small would suggest a reservation if you're going at a busy time. read more

BEST INDIAN IN DUBLIN? Konkan is a great Indian resturant. I'm starting to become a regular, I'm saying that because they recognise me now! So i've given five stars here which I don't do lightly as I spent 17 years either living in birmingham or yorkshire where there are a lot of quality indian resturants. I considered four stars as I found the delivery service isnt quite up to scratch. But I decided to review this as a sit down ocasion. The decor is ok, standard indian resturant to be honest. The staff are very good and are pretty friendly as well. Starters ====== Poppadoms are very good here and slightly different as they are in bite size chunks. I liked them a lot. I have tried the onion bhargi's, mixed meat starter and mixed vegi starter they are all very good. Main courses ========== To be honest here I have had the butter chicken all but one times as its just delicious. I cant recommend it enough. I would say its my favourite curry of all time. Try it before moving on is my advice. Rice & Naan ========= The pilau rice and plain naan are excellent. Delivery ====== We have had take out a couple of times from here, and although still good the starters seemed to be a bit soggy and not the same as the sit down menu. It is a lot cheaper however to get delivered ( about 2/3rds of the price ) Cost ==== Not the cheapest Indian around a special is 15 euro+ for instance, but the wine is reasonabile and nice to so it makes up for it. But these are quality dishes. Overall a great place, I had to give it five stars even though it might deserve 4 for the decor not being amazing and delivery not being perfect. However if I had a choice of eating somewhere in Dublin and could only eat there. This would probably be my choice. read more

This is not the place to go for a Korma - really, it is basically just hot cream, not great. Nor is it a place to go if you are really really hungry as the gap between when you sit and order in the very pleasant surrounds taking in the dimly lit busy dining room, quaffing wine and when the food actually arrives can be considerable. However, if you have time and prefer a hotter curry then KonKan can be a great venue for a night out. We have been there with groups a few times and always enjoyed ourselves. They have a modest selection of wines and are not overly expensive. Definitely worth a bash! read more

Konkan - I'm still waiting! - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

I love Konkan. It's our favourite and nearest Indian restaurant. How cool is that? For starters, the meat platter is excellent, as are the Onion Bhajis. Our most favourite dish here is the Butter Chicken. It's delicious and we order it every visit. The Chicken Cafreal is good also. If partaking in a tipple, we still go for the Teresa Rizzi Pinot Grigio. The staff are so polite and very friendly. I highly recommend Konkan. read more

I debated giving this place four stars, but the more I wrote the more I couldn't justify giving it the full marks. This place is close to my home, and we found it a little randomly on a Saturday. We had heard some good things about it, and we knew where it wav because we pass it often on our way to MVP, so we decided to make it the dinner spot on a date night. No pressure! We arrived early and ended up having the early bird menu - no big deal because it's very varied and it has all our favorites. The food is excellent, some of the best Indian food I had. Now I'm no expert on Indian food, and I'm sure if I had true Indian food I would cringe at all the spice - I am after all a huge fan of Korma in all its mildness. But this food definitely feels authentic and it's also extremely well presented. And yes, the lamb Korma is to die for. The decor is very tasteful, while still having a lot of Indian flavor. I'm usually not one to notice these things, but since it was date night I did feel pleased the the atmosphere was fitting to the mood of the evening. And the service is, honestly, what tipped this place to 5 stars. The waiters were all incredibly nice, polite and helpful. We were suffering from a bit of indecision, especially when picking the wine, and everyone was more than patient. So now you know why I had to go back and give this place the 5 stars. And since this we have not only been back, we've also ordered from there and it has always been consistently excellent. read more

A quaint, non pretentious that serves excellent food and has fantastic service. All of the traditional Indian dishes, just the right among of spice all made with fresh ingredients. Picked them based on their great Yelp reviews. Walked over on a rainy Sunday night and waited about 30 minutes for a table. The host brought my group of 3 water and a smaller appetizer to share while we waited free of charge. Was worth the wet walk and certainly worth the wait. read more

Charming little Indian restaurant in Portobello! We had dinner here a few weekends ago with another couple and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They have a decent wine selection (including a few Indian wines) and both al a carte or tasting menu options. We decided to share a variety of starters as well as our mains. The standout starters for me were the onion bhajis and the lamb kebab. For mains I loved their Palak Paneer and of course the Chicken Tikka Masala, but the other dishes were nice as well. After consuming our weight in naan, Tarka Dal and pilau rice we did not have room for dessert, but I'm sure it would have been equally tasty. Konkan takes online reservations and offers takeout/delivery as well. Will return! read more

Yummy Indian food.. The papaddums are delicious as are the dips that accompany it. For main course - the husband had butter roti whereas me had the garlic naan.. I preferred the roti over the naan though both being equally tasty. However, the star of the evening was undoubtedly the butter chicken.. Mildly flavoured without heavy greasy gravy.. had it with pilau rice and side dish of dal. The ambience was mellow and subtle. a little too dim lit but not a big con.. Recommended! read more

Konkan - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

I come from a south Asian household and grew up eating North and South Indian food. This has to be one of my favourite restaurants ever. Handsdown, this is the BEST Indian food in Dublin. And I've tried a lot of the other restaurants. The food has amazing flavour and uses good quality ingredients. Do try the Goan fish curry - if you ask.. They'll make a Goan shrimp curry. That is my absolute favourite here from what I tried. The mango with shrimp AppetIzer is also good! The mango Lassi is a refreshing drink with some cardamom. I absolutely love it here- even as good as some of the food from India itself, and as good as some of the Indian restaurants in Toronto. I've tried many Indian restaurants in Dublin which serve horrendous food but get rave reviews- which leads me to think Dublin doesn't know Indian food. No offense. But you want great flavours, creamy curries and amazing naan? COME HERE. If you want real Indian flavours, classy seating and great service... Go to Konkan! read more

My boyfriend and I had a nice evening here at Konkan. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and helpful. We had the mango shrimp and samosas as starters and a Tikka Masala, Mushroom fried rice and Peshwari naan as our main dish with a level one spiciness. (Very tasty) They saw us suffering a bit and offered to fix our dish with extra yogurt. It was perfect. We will definitely be coming here again on our next visit to Dublin. Thank you! read more

After seeing reviews of the many Indian restaurants in Dublin, I wasn't very eager to try any. Most seemed mediocre and I am NOT a fan of take out style Indian food that sits in the buffet all day. No no no. Anyhow, we did find this one and decided to be adventurous and try it. It exceeded expectations! If you are in Dublin, hands down - this is the Indian restaurant to go to. The food was a bit spicy but so good. Service was fast and staff were very friendly. read more

When we're feeling lazy and want a special treat form takeaway, I am almost always choosing Konkan. I am trying to be adventurous and order something different. I wasn't mistaken not even once. Portion are quite large, usually there is still something left for the lunch the next day. And you get a portion of Pappadoms with 2 sauces:) The service is friendly and helpful. Usually it takes around 25 minutes form the phone call to getting your food ready and prices are bit higher than in other take-away but it's definitely worth it:) read more

I am blown away! Such a great little spot, amazing food, excellent staff. The perfect date night! This will definitely become our go-to for a dinner out, it's very close to home and has a great atmosphere. Intimate and cozy, tasteful decor, attentive staff, excellent food! We got the early bird menu (we're officially old people now) and it was a great deal at 15 euros each for a generous starter and main. The early bird menu conveniently includes the most popular dishes, too: I got the Onion Bhaji and the Chicken Tikka Masala and both were phenom. The Onion Bhaji and Garlic Naan bread was the best I've ever had. Most places do it in a similar way, both are greasy, but not this place. The Bhaji is a beautiful, crispy little tumbleweed, and the Naan is also crispy and the garlic was roasted so it was full of flavor! My Tikka Masala was pretty mild, but every place does it differently. It was sweeter than I expected but still delicious, just depends on your preference. Lots of chicken that was perfectly seasoned and cooked. So nice to have Indian that almost feels gourmet, thoughtfully prepared and perfectly cooked, without all the grease or watered down sauce! They have a nice wine selection as well, we ordered the Spanish red blindly and thoroughly enjoyed it! We barely had room for dessert but shared the ice cream and also loved it. Super creamy and full of warm spices. I really can't find a single fault in this place, which makes me so happy because it's so close to home and we can't wait to go back! They were constantly receiving delivery orders so it's obvious everyone knows how good this place is! read more

Love Konkan. It's the only indian we will order a takeaway from regularly. And always the Butter Chicken and Malabar Chicken curry, both are so good!! You get free Poppadums and a mango and yummy mint dip with each order and my current favourite starter is a new black pepper chicken dish that is really worth trying!! They are also really accommodating with requests (eg Aloo Gobbi without the Aloo, they must think I'm mad, but are very polite about it!!) Other favourites are the onion bhaji, lamb seekh kebab and Tarka Dahl side dish. Ps. They will deliver wine from their wine list with your order too. read more

So, you know how vegetable samosas are always dry? ..Well so are these, but for once this was made up for with what appears to be multi-colored sauce made in-house which was uber tasty and had a funky appearance. Overall,KonKan offers good quality veg tasting menu for good value in my opinion.Parking is also handy around here, there's usually a spot on the canal because it's quiet. Great service, I would totally go back. Beer menu needs to be worked on. I mean beer was invented to go with curry right!!?! My advice, go to the pub across the road afterwards. read more

I used to love this restaurant! I mean I've been ordering and dining there for about 3 years...until yesterday. The lamb was extremely chewy almost inedible. The naan was very poor & small in comparison to the usual large hot portions. I was asked to pay for the poppadoms which I thought wasn't really a big deal 90c, I've only been going there 3 years, unfortunately there was not mango chutney provided, that must have been extra again? Definitely won't be getting this in again I'm sorry to say. Johnny read more

Great tasty food. Speciality menu a must. Don't let the takeaway cost put you off.

Feeling lazy to cook yesterday, I have ordered vegetable tikka masala and Rice from Konkan through just-eat.ie. It was delivered in about 30 min as they promised.I had a feeling that most of the Indian restaurants in Dublin don't cook the Indian way until I tasted this.Would definitely recommend this. read more

The butter chicken is as deep and earthy as the foundations of the Harmandir Sahib temple in Punjab. The marriage of the turmeric and garamsala is as perfect a love story as Shahrukh Khan and Aiswarya Rai in Devdas. The brightness of the saffron and cumin resembles the delicate sunsets of Goa. Delicious. read more

Great food, reasonable prices for the quality. Only knock is they could use more beer options(only 2).

I've been eating at Konkan many times (twice at their new Dundrum location and a dozen more in the old Harold's Cross venue). It is certainly the best value for money you can get in Dublin if you like Indian food! The food is just excellent! My favourite dish is the Masala Bhindi (spicy okra), which feels like there's a party in your mouth and everyone's invited. But it's not about one dish only. All the food they cook is absolutely amazing! Always so heavenly flavourful! The ingredients are always fresh. There is a huge selection, so it takes some time to decide. But no worries, complimentary papadoms are on the house and on their way to your table straight away. Although the place is not purely vegetarian, they offer many vegetarian dishes and most of the dishes can be prepared vegan as well. All these for a very affordable price. The main course costs €10 for the vegan options and about €15 for meat dishes. Expect to spend 2-3 more for rice or naan bread. They also offer an early bird menu, so for around €15 you can also get a starter (the ones I tried were always delicious). I'm sure the food will allure you to come back again and again Also the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is just fab. The place is slightly off the centre, but it still falls within the boundaries of the inner city and easily accessibly from town (there is a bus stop - 9, 16 and 49 - just by the restaurant's doorstep). If I could give them more stars I would! read more

Amazing place. My girlfriend and I went there to try out some different types of Indian. She was less experienced with the cuisine and the tasting menu offered for €20 pp was perfect. It made it a real experience to be given so many different foods to try and enjoy. Would personally recommend the Butter Chicken and the Fish Curry. Fantastic. read more

Really very good. Had the fried prawns with mango for the starter, well cooked and the mangos in a mild curry sauce totally stole the show. Malabar chicken for the main, was excellent- the chicken was really nicely cooked, with a little hint of charring from the cooking process adding flavour. Well ahead of the standard Dublin curry house fare. Service was also very good, I don't think my water glass was ever empty for a full five seconds. Also well priced in terms of the quality, about fifty Euros for starters and mains for two. Didn't have dessert, so can't speak to that. read more

Great Indian food in Dublin? Who would've thought! I am quite picky about my Indian food, and I'm very happy to say that not only does this place fully deserve its high Yelp ratings, but it very much exceeded my expectations. My husband and I ended up eating here twice while we were in Dublin, and it was great both times. First time, we ate in and both got the Early Bird Specials--onion bhaji, samosa, veg methi malai and chicken tikka masala. Good amount of food. I was impressed with the dipping sauces (chutneys), which were all made in house and delicious. The kulfi is also made in-house and it was quite good. The staff are polite, friendly and efficient, and we would definitely recommend this place! read more

Ordered our meal as a takeaway via the restaurant's online system, 1.5hours before we required the food. The food had not arrived 30 minutes after our selected time, when I phoned the restaurant I was told the food was with the driver. No attempt to offer any redress, just sorry they're running a bit later, goodbye. A further 15 minutes later - that's 45 minutes later than our chosen time the food still hadn't arrived. No matter how good The food might be (still waiting to try it!!) it's not worth the wait. read more

The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are very warm and welcoming! I definitely recommend all of their dishes, especially the aubergine ones. Mango lassi is delicious as well with cardamom. read more

I had heard good mutterings about this place for a long time but never had the opportunity to visit it as I'm not usually socialising in that part of town, but having eaten here I will go out of my way to eat here again! Some friends and I met up here shortly before Christmas weekend, and got the early bird men which considering how delicious the food was, was very good value. Indian restaurants in Ireland, in my experience can be quite bland and disappointing, but this place really stimulated my tastebuds We were two vegetarians and two carnivores, and we both highly enjoyed our meal. I had the BAIGAN KA SALAN, a succulent aubergine dish, with naan and rice on the side. My dining companions devoured their dishes as well, our plates were clean! The wine list is basic but it was decent. This place is small, but it packs a lot of flavour, the staff were so attentive and accommodating and I would not hesitate to go back here as soon as I possibly can. read more

Visited Konkan with my girlfriend and was incredibly impressed with the food and the service. I have had the delivery before and while it is delicious, it is completely surpassed by the food in the restaurant. Our server Ferdia was especially friendly and have very helpful food suggestions.

New fav. Indian takeaway menu. I like the touch of south Indian spices in the food n the menu is quite balanced with various north n south Indian options. The south indian+syrian chicken dish is great. read more

Most Indian restaurants I have seen (apart from those in India, of course) showcase the food predominantly from a single state in the country (Punjab). There are at least 24 different cuisines in this beautiful country. Konkan brings in a different perspectives (while serving the regular "Indian" food) from Konkan area in the West of India. Just reading the menu is such a delight for someone like me who is tired of the same food passed off as Indian anywhere I go in Europe. The style and the ingredients are quintessentially Konkani with dishes from the south (chettinad,malabar and goa). The cooking is very fine with no floating oils with red chilly powder in them like most restaurants. The seasonal Specials are perhaps the best of any Indian restaurant in Dublin ! So if u are really looking for Indian food in a broader sense, this is the place for you. Starters are great (esp. fried prawns with mango) and the best feature of the main menu is the "Regional Specialties" . For the price, its great quality, but not for cheap eats. read more
