Great Indian cuisine. Reasonable prices. The hubs and I opted for one medium tikka masala and one spicy. Both enjoyed it very much. Rice is extra and much needed as there is plenty of sauce. We ordered one naan with shallots (not on the menu). Loved it! Ask for a side of their mint yogurt sauce, it's excellent! Would highly recommend this restaurant. Not happy that they charge €3 credit card processing. Not cool, guys! Location is great as its a 15 minute walk from the Temple Bar area. Mom and pop sort of restaurant with a very friendly and accommodating staff. Ambiance is a bit, meh but we weren't there for the look. We were there for the awesome Indian Food. read more

I've been looking for somewhere that makes a good Dosa in Dublin for aaaages. Look no further! Madina do an unreal masala dosa with all the bells and whistles for only 7 euro. It's an absolute bargain as it's HUGE. Actually much bigger than the ones you get in India. It's a hearty meal - not one for a low carb diet, yet it still doesn't feel stodgy as there's so much veg in there, you can just feel the goodness. The staff were friendly and approachable and the place itself is clean, tidy and spacious. read more

Madina Desi Curry BBQ - Nice interior - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

See all

I recently moved to Ireland from India and I had been craving for some good curry all week. Upon a friend's recommendation, I decided to check out this place and I have to admit, they are pretty authentic for an Indian restaurant in this country. I personally loved the Naan and the Kheema. The Thali is very good as well! read more

Madina Desi Curry BBQ - Thali, coriander garlic naan, and the Kheema mutter curry. - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

Madina is a simple restaurant, very casual, but effective, serving tasty food at sensible prices. The location is great, really central right by Capel St., and they stay open until relatively late (yey!). This is the best Indian food I've tried in Dublin yet. Very hearty and tasty, bold enough with the spices and a great menu with some of my favourite dishes in it - I particularly like their bhindi bhaji and the delicious fresh naan. It's also one of the few places with decent vegetarian options that don't taste like some leftover curry minus the meat. Service here lies somewhere between abrupt and faintly friendly, depending on the waiters and their mood on that day. It may also take them a while to either get to you or bring out your food. The silver lining is they won't be pestering you once you're eating or simply finishing up your conversation. Besides the restaurant itself, you can also order to take away/delivery, a good alternative if you're tired of the (bland) likes of Bombay Pantry. read more

Madina Desi Curry BBQ - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

Madina might resemble a take-away from the outside but inside the food is some of the tastiest and most authentic in town. The interior is a touch too bright, the chairs may be reminiscent of a school canteen's, but sit upstairs for a great view of the Bollywood, multi-tiered, disco-ball chandelier (picture included!) The varied menu includes some creative descriptions with many references to 'mother's' cooking', lending a nice personal touch. Happily for you vegetarians out there you'll find as many options as your meat eating friends. The menu is split down the middle 50/50, there's equality for you! Peppered throughout the menu are extra value deals, like 'Curry in a Hurry', which comprises your choice of meat in that days special curry, drink and rice/naan for 9.95, and makes a good express option if you're trying to squeeze in a quick bite before running to catch a film at Cineworld around the corner (Parnell St) For starters we ordered onion bhaji and meat samosa. The bhaji was lightly spiced with sweet chili sauce, and unlike some luminous offerings I've had before was relatively grease free. The samosa filling was a little dry but came with a spicy chickpea salad, yogurt sauce and a tasty dark fruit chutney. They certainly filled the gap nicely. Madina is the only place in Ireland to serve the 'Dosa' according to their menu. These are a Southern Indian speciality. Dosa is a light, thin, fluffy, fried pancake made from the rice and lentil flour, roughly the size of a broadsheet newspaper! Served with bowls of fresh coconut chutney and a vegetable dahl. Inside the folds of this pancake hides a mild potato and green bean curry, watch out for the whole chillies though! Forget your table manners with the dosa and get stuck in with your hands, this is quite fun to eat! The lamb tikka kebab was dry and lacked for sauce, only being served with a small side salad. I think it's best to leave the kebabs to Zaytoon's et al, here the curry is king, and they do it well. Currys are available mild or hot, but be warned when they say hot they mean it. A negotiation with your waiter may provide a happy medium, but eer on the side of caution. Sadly there is no alcohol on the premises, and the fruit beers are best avoided to say the least. There's a range of soft drinks, juices and lassis available. Madina is a great spot for a post or pre cinema meal. It's only a few doors down from Penny's so could provide a good rest stop when shopping on Henry Street. Or as a break from getting your DIY or Antiques fix on Capel Street. I'll be back next time I'm in a panic on where to bring that vegetarian friend and I'll be sticking to the tried and tested 'Curry in a Hurry' and the delicious Dosa. read more

Note: all my recent vacation in Ireland Yelp reviews will have the same 1st paragraph preamble, for just the review itself skip to the 2nd paragraph. On a whirlwind 2 week vacation to Ireland, the girlfriend & I tried to see & experience absolutely as much of this incredible land as we could. We did not accomplish every last activity we wished we could have on our rather ambitious itinerary. Nonetheless, we did discover a land of numerous stunning & magical wonders. We did see a land of unending natural beauty. We did learn of a land with a monumentally long history of trials, tragedies & triumphs. We did get to meet many kind, humorous, warm & generous people. Our vacation to Ireland was just 2 weeks, but that was time enough to know this is a land easy to love & a land to be sorely missed. Looking to get some dinner our last night in Dublin before heading out to explore more of the country the next morning, the girlfriend & I both realized we were in the mood for Indian food when we saw Madina. Indian food in Ireland? Why not. Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area, both of us have lived &/or worked in Berkeley for a decade. Berkeley has no shortage of Indian food restaurants. We were curious how Indian food in Dublin would compare to Indian food in Berkeley. The place was very busy, but we were seated immediately upstairs. After a quick look at the menu, we decided to keep it simple. We ordered Chicken Tikka Marsala, Lamb Vindaloo, Meat (lamb) Samosa for a starter & I got a Mango Lassi. We ended up getting white rice with our order. When we added rice, we didn't specify so white rice must've been the default. This was just a tiny bit odd as our usual Indian restaurants serve saffron rice as the default. Our food took a little while to be served, but not too long considering how busy it was. Generally, our dishes were less creamy but had more of a dry spice rub quality than the Indian food we're accustomed to. The Meat Samosa was OK, but was relatively bland compared to the spiced potato & peas samosas I'm used to. Our Chicken Tikka Marsala & Lamb Vindaloo were both very good in a unique way. The sauces for these dishes were less creamy than what I've had at Indian restaurants back home, but there was more of a dry spice flavor. My Mango Lassi was served warmer than I was expecting & was less creamy, sugary sweet than other Mango Lassis I've had, but had a more real mango flavor. Everything was a little different but still easily recognizable as Indian food & quite tasty. For Indian food in Ireland, Madina was a surprising & nice treat. Different from the Indian food one might find in the San Francisco Bay Area, but delicious nevertheless. read more

So this spot seems pretty alright. It's literally around the corner from where I work so I popped in to get a take away because I was sick of eating the usual stuff and was in the mood for a decent curry. The only real issue I had with this place was the staff. I checked in before visiting as I noticed there was 10% off the meal but when I got there I was informed that it was only for students which wasn't specified when I showed my student card the waitress mumbled smiled and walked away. It was only for a few quid so I let it lie. However if I was eating in here I could see serious issues arising with the level of service as I have also seen being an issue for previous yelpers who visited the establishment. Other than that the food was super tasty and only charged around 20 quid for a massive feast for myself and my colleague. Really tasty and not too greasy. Enjoyed the hell out of the lamb biryani and the masala dosa. Icing on the cake was the peshwari naan! All in all a good and hearty meal but I wouldn't go to this place to sit in for fear of the terrible service I would receive! read more

Madina Desi Curry BBQ - Prshwari naan, masala dosa and lamb biryani. All delicious and a gorgeous takeaway meal! - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

Mmmmmm. Good, affordable Indian food! Even though it looks small outside, it's a two story restaurant. Foodwise, everything was delicious. We ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, and naan bread. Chicken Tikka- between the sweet and spicy option,I chose sweet and I loved it! Very mild and it has a creamy sauce. It was as good as the one where I usually eat in California so it definitely reminded me of home. Biryani- filling and pairs well with the side of curry sauce that comes along it it. Naan- I give them kudos for cooking it perfectly! No burns or charcoal patches like other places I've been to. Service wise- it was okay. Our server was nice, but once the place was busy, it was difficult to get her to pass by our table to ask for anything. When we asked for the bill, she informed us that we had to pay downstairs. Kind of annoying because she could've informed us earlier rather than making us wait a good 30 minutes just to tell us that. Despite that, I'd come back again to try the rest of the menu! read more

Madina Desi Curry BBQ - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

Madina is easily misunderstood - I guess. I'm a bit surprised to see two-stars reviews here because the "service was bad". That's about the same as giving two stars to Patrick Guilbaud because "it is expensive". You don't go to Madina for a romantic date with your new crush, you don't go with a party of 10 expecting everything to be perfect, you go simply for great and delicious food for nice prices. Great things about Madina - all their dishes are different, they are not all basically the same curry with a different color or level of spice, and all of them are delicious. I had more luck with the vegetarian than the non-vegetarian dishes (the Moong Dal is one of my favourites) - although the BBQ sizzler always looks delicious and if I actually had the space in my belly, I'd like to try it. Speaking of vegetarian: The restaurant has a separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian kitchen, so no worries that something gets mixed up. I guess due to that it's the best option for a group with some slightly strict vegetarians but also some meat-eaters. Another dish which is a must here, because it's the only place serving it in Ireland, are the Dosas with Idlis, a South Indian specialty. Dosas are a crispy pancake made of rice, and Idlis are a kind of rice cake. These are a very common dishes in Tamil Nadu,but I actually never really liked Dosas there and hated Idli, but at Madina I love the Masala Dosa (filled with yummy vegetarian stuff) and don't dislike the Idli. Pricewise Madina was always good, but it's constantly getting better. Dosas come with free Idli now and their all-time specials are amazing, a chicken biryani for 4.95 or Chana Masala with Chicken Leg and Rice for 6.95 is amazing value, but also their normal prices are really cheap. One of the only minus points: They don't have alcohol and their fruit wines are something to get used to, I would personally rather recommend their Lassi which is much better . I have to say though they even work on the service bit. Last time I was here with two friends, they took our order quickly, got it perfectly right, always refilled the water and were extra-friendly. Also the decor has changed in the last year from very tacky to "quite interesting". It used to be a place where people would give you strange looks when you brought them there until they tasted the food because it looked like a cheap takeaway, but now it actually is somewhat nice. read more

I don't know where ye are going with your 4 and 5 star reviews because I've just come from a terrible dinner here! I ordered the paneer masalla and it was very rubbery. The masalla sauce was the right level of hot for me but not nearly enough flavour. Himself had the chicken curry "voted the best in Dublin" apparently, by whom I wonder? The chicken was of bad quality, 60% bone and gristle, and the sauce tasted mostly of oil. The texture was no better, very gloopy and congealed. I actually started to get stomach pains at one point and left most of mine, even the rice wasn't nice. The service was truly awful. The guy forgot to give us cutlery, forgot my drinks, gave us the wrong food and seemed annoyed to swap them. Do yourself a favour and order from Bombay Pantry instead. read more

I love this place! Most Indian restaurants in Ireland tend toward the usual range of North Indian dishes, but Madina is one of the few exceptions serving up tasty South Indian nibbles. You can't go wrong with the masala dosa -- give it a go. read more

I used to come here a lot but haven't been in for literally years! It's not like I'm never in the neighborhood as I practically live in the cinema around the corner. Why haven't I been back? (rethorical question) the food is so bloody good! I had the meat samosa which were spice and delicious and the portion is big. For the main I had the desi desi chicken with the hot curry. Again the portion size was massive, literally half a chicken and a portion of rice which would be plenty for two, the chicken had been marinated in lemon and some herbs then finished in the tandoori oven. The curry was spicy amd fresh, went perfect with the lemon infused chicken. To top it off a mango lasi. All of this came to the very reasonable price of 14.90. It would easily be enough for two if you'd another side and get another drink so a delicious meal for two for around twenty squids! I'll defo be back....soon read more

This restaurant gets great reviews everywhere and was one of the best Indian restaurants in the Dubliner 100 Best Restaurants guide 2009 and has a Bridgestone award too. But having tried a lot of Indian/Pakistani restaurants in Dublin and finding them less than authentic, made me skeptical. I finally tried this place for the first time this year and I was pleasantly surprised. Authentic, good portions and easy on the pocket (like the best Indian food should be). Being a 'desi' myself I know that the best Indian/Pak food comes 'Dhaba'- like places (roadside food stalls) than gourmet restaurants. French cuisine this is not. And Madina knows this. So what if it looks a bit oily and grubby inside and the service is a bit slow, with the Indian music playing in the background and the garish decor, it feels I'm right back home. Sick and tired of getting measly rice and naan portions with a huge tub of curry in other places (Indian food adapted Western style) glad to finally find a place that knows the portions are done the other way.. Bigger carb portions (naan and rice) with a comparatively smaller curry. (And not too steep) I would recommend the Lamb Biryani (comes in a sizeable portion too) which is on a special offer this time and the Halwa Puri on Sundays which is a traditional breakfast/brunch style meal that comes with two deep-fried chappatti-like bread called puri and chana masala (chick pea curry) and a sweet dish made from semolina. Very rich and heavy, so you might fore-go lunch altogether. Their mango lassi is tops and when they have the traditional flavours in kulfi (rose, saffron, coconut, mango and pistachio) then nothing beats dessert too. Only thing I have tried and haven't found authentic is the way they do their Chicken Tikka (as part of their mixed sizzler or kebab roll anyway) - it doesn't taste chargrilled or like it has been made on charcoal. The emphasis seems to be on the red food colouring, but I found the meat dry and tasteless. Ditto for the Lamb Tikka (it was so hard I couldn't bite it off and they were left untouched on my plate). However, the Seekh Kabab roll my friend had was true to taste. There's so much on the menu and such good Veg options for your vegetarian friends, that I would recommend it for everyone. You're bound to find something you like. read more

I tried during these months other curries and I confirm you this is the best Indian restaurant in town! Try the mango Lassi as well, absolutely a must! read more

Madina Desi Curry BBQ - Great to dinner! Curry, naan and rice! - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

I want to give 3.5 stars and this review comes from an Indian! We have passed across this place a number of times while shopping on Henry street but somehow never looked at it twice: reason? It looks ordinary from outside and the décor is like a fast food/takeaway joint however once you are inside, you would appreciate good food. This is actually a Pakistani restaurant but Indian and Pakistani food is kind of similar. The good things: Authenticity: The food is not hugely "Europeanized" and they have retained original food flavours, when they mean spicy - it's not toned down version, its spicy enough. Good mixed crowd: We saw a lots of Indian and Pakistani people dining here along with locals; always a good sign! Price and portion: Very affordable prices and huge food portion (My main curry lasted till next day afternoon meal -Not complaining! It was yummy!) Here is what we tried: Samosa Chana - Good : spicy samosas blending well with chickpeas curry with a hint of yogurt Paneer masala main course with coriander garlic naan - Awesome! The naan and paneer were the best I have had. So fresh and soft! Chicken Biryani - This was a letdown as it wasn't fresh, it was reheated. The good part was it came with a small curry side so not too dry. The bad thing: The service was okay, the waiter acknowledged the "Yelp 10% off check-in" deal but didn't reduce in the bill :( But I dont want to be too harsh to deduct one star for that as the food per se was good mostly. read more

Best takeout value in Dublin! With two full menus--one meat and one vegetarian--Madina has an excellent variety of dishes and I want to try them all. Just walking in, you can smell how delicious everything is! As Jens K. mentioned, Madina stands out because each dish is unique. At other Indian takeouts, hubs and I order two different dishes but they taste the same except for the meat and spice level. At Medina you can notice the fresh taste of the sauces in a variety of colors and ingredients so it's obvious they know what's up. With mains around €7 it's at least two quid cheaper than other places in the area for the same. Delicious little golgappa (panipuri) with tamarind sauce. I'd never had these crunchy vegetable cups before but they were fresh and herby. It made me confident to order any appetizer off the menu--not just my standby samosas. Eating in the restaurant looks decent for a very casual date or a bite with friends. read more

Maybe it's just because I haven't tried this particular type of food before, but I wasn't overly mad about it. I had the chicken tikka kebab. It was nice, spicy but not too spicy but didn't blow me away either. Or it was just as I had thought we would go to a cosy restaurant which Madina is not. It is rather like a fast-food restaurant with service. Which is absolutely sufficient - if you hadn't planned for something else. So I will give it another go to see how I like it then. But the staff was very nice and friendly for sure. Also. I had opted to a mango juice but as it turned out they had only half a glass left so I got it on the house. I got a Guava juice instead as well at that was actually very lovely. When we were in here 90% of the customers were from around Arabia which is a good sign to me - and their awards don't come from nothing. read more

Really good and pocket friendly option for a Sunday dinner. The staff is always fast and very helpful. We went there for a first time with my boyfriends flatmate who is Indian and great cook at the same time so if he recommends that place that's means something. Last night I had MUTTER PANEER and KHEER for a desert. I was so full I couldn't get up from my sit :-). Cheese was very soft and works perfectly with the peas and the sauce but wasn't spicy enough for my taste, although I asked for medium spicy. My boyfriend went for selection of small curries served with white rice in the middle and flat piece of bread. I don't know what's the bread name but I really love it. Kheer is so tasty that I could eat 3of those if I'd had some more room. Overall 5 stars for great Indian experience. read more

Dosas in Dublin? Score! I used to come to this place just for the dosas, as I'm pretty sure it's the only place in the city where you can get them. This place has proper home-cooked Indian food at great prices. The dosas always come quickly and are delicious. If you haven't had a dosa before, you should come here specifically to try one. They're unlike any North Indian food, and you won't find them at many Indian restaurants. read more

Madina Desi Curry BBQ - Halwa poori and tandoori chicken. Enjoyed it - Indian Near Me - Dublin, D

Woahhh, Dublin is Super generous with its Yelp reviews. 5 stars, no way Jose. This would be the 3rd decent Indian restaurant in Dublin. Dublin truly needs some more exposure towards Indian food, specifically good Indian food. And I'm sure it'll come soon! But This is a humble offer of decent, a-okay Indian food. I'd give it a B- It's more of a homey, nice comfort atmosphere and the service is good! Pros: dosa , briyani ( great price for quantity) This food is okay. I've sampled many dishes from briyani to appetizers to dosa and vegetarian and non veg curries. It's affordable and has decent flavours. I've dined in, done take out. Why? Because it satisfies a craving for spicy food in Dublin and it's in the area. It's spicy, and has some good flavours but it's still pretty meh in overall Indian food I've tried. All the curries from jalfrezi, Karachi and chickpea curry use the same base. For serious 5 star Indian food in Dublin, try Konkan. Also, Indian food is best enjoyed with naan or rice. Try that instead of ... Chips. read more

First I went there was months ago. I tried the biryani and it was really nice. I was very satisfied. Recently I went again but this time I was disappointed. I went with a friend, we had to wait around 30 min for the food. When we finally got it, it was already cold and did not taste nice, not like in my previous visit. I know it's take away and restaurant in the same time but I think they should be a bit quicker serving their customers. read more

Rude waitresses and Microwaved Rice.,that tasted like plastic and still cold. Me and my wife were asked to move twice because the table we sat was supposedly reserved[table did not have any reservation sign]. We were told before to sit anywhere. We moved once but refused to move second time. They microwaved plain rice in front of us and they tasted like plastic. we returned them. The waitress 1 stomped back while taking rice back. Waitress 2 comes back with fresh rice and starts arguing 'why you returned the rice?' and argued that rice were fresh. We told her we saw the guy microwave them right in front of our eyes but she didn't believe. We were sitting upstairs and they had microwave in [sort of kitchen] corner. Never going back again. read more

Went here with my family one day. We had heard great things about this, so we decided it was out turn to give it a try. I wish we wouldn't have. The service was extremely slow and some people that came after us got their food before us, not sure how that happens. We had to ask them twice if the food was anywhere near coming out. Finally when the food arrived, and we ate like starving animals, we realized there was nothing special about this place. It just tasted like any other restaurant. The only good thing is their portions are well sized. read more

First, the food was very good - a tad spicy for me (I'm not a spicy food lover), but still very good. Sadly, I couldn't finish it all. The butter chicken was excellent - the chicken was great and had zero fat - all good white meat. The mango lassi I had was perfect. Yes, the place is a little rough on the eyes and could do with a makeover.. If this is your first date, it won't make an impression. If you're married or single and don't care about the decor (and just want excellent food), then it's certainly not a reason not to eat here. The only gripe I had was that the service was a bit off as it was quite busy. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to seat myself or be seated, and no one seemed to have the time to notice I was there and ask. I finally had to flag down a waitress, who seated me (I still don't know if I am supposed to seat myself... argh) and scurried off. It took a while to be served and when I wanted a second lassi, I had to flag down my server as he rushed off after bringing my dinner without giving me a moment to ask him. Why do Dublin restaurants seem unable to staff adequately for busy times of day? I'd eat there again - heck, I might do it tonight - but that level of service doesn't work for me. I can be understanding only to a point. Bonus half-star because a decent percentage of the customers were Indian, which, as others have mentioned, is a good sign. Wifi is available, ask for the password. read more

We started with veggi samosa that were not that great, not very tasty. Then we got our chicken korma and butter chicken currys that were quite good.

Great for going with friends or family. Affordable but excellent quality of Indian food. If you wish to take the Dosa which is succulent in itself make sure to have at least 5 people with you to finish it. I went with one friend last time, we ordered the Dosa and 2 mains, the Dosa was so big and nice that we were full before the main menu came to our table :/. But the staffs let us pack the remaining food to bring home :D Also try the mixed sizzler which is around 15 euro. Its very delicious. The staffs and the atmosphere are pretty cool. Cool oriental music and nice staffs. Although sometimes kids might be crying as a lot of families go there but it's not an issue. If you want a nice Indian meal with a group at an affordable restaurant then you definitely need to check out this place ;) read more

The chicken has that rubbery texture and bleached white look that you unfortunately find in some restaurants. It did not have the texture of unadulterated chicken, and I'm guessing it is imported processed chicken. Neither myself nor my partner ate more than one piece. I'm not even going to review the rest of the meal, as the chicken was disgusting and off putting. read more

Generally I love the food at Madina, but both the food and the service lack consistency.
