Chowk Ki Aloo Tikki - Crispy potato cakes filled with cumin & ginger tempered green peas, 3 chutneys
Sarah M.

On my last visit to Dublin, my friend had one request - to try Dublin Indian food, and Pickle was the top choice. Let me just say, we were blown away. Our order (all of which we split): Drink - Mango Lassi (we each ordered one; I'm obsessed) Appetizer - Chowk Ki Aloo Tikki (Crispy potato cakes filled with cumin & ginger tempered green peas, 3 chutneys - loved) Main - Farmers Butter Chicken (Old Delhi style chicken tikka with fenugreek, ginger, green chilli & cardamom flavoured - velvety tomato & onion masala, finished with fresh cream) & Nalli Nihari (Wicklow lamb shank simmered for 12 hrs with caramelized onion, ginger & turmeric flavoured with saffron & ginger) Sides - Basmati Rice, Dilli Wala Butter Naan, & 1 Pair of Pickle (this one was not my fav) Dessert - Gulab Jamun (Indian milk donuts fried in clarified butter and soaked in saffron, rose sugar syrup, vanilla ice cream) The whole meal was perfection - everything (except for the pickle side that I wasn't a fan of) tasted incredible. There was so much flavor in every bite. We sat in the back of the restaurant which happened to be next to the table where Nick Jonas had recently visited before us. We had this dinner booked before we saw that so great minds! We also were able to meet Chef Sunil Ghai and pay our compliments. Our waitress was amazing (I don't recall her name sadly but the receipt says it was printed by Dexter). As part of our reservation, we pre-paid €50 so our remaining bill was €54.95. For what we got, it was a fantastic value, and I cannot wait to come back. On the way out we spotted Chef Sunil Ghai's cookbook called Spice Box: Easy, Everyday Indian Food Hardcover. I made note because after getting back home, I ordered cookbooks for both myself and my friend. Have I made any recipes from it yet? No, but hopefully I'll get around to it soon. Just a note, when I was looking up their website to complete this review, I noticed they don't offer takeaway service which is a bit surprising. Maybe their thought is the quality isn't as good which I get but if I lived in Dublin, I'd want to be able to get takeout.

It turns out you have to go to Ireland to eat amazing Indian food. Okay you don't HAVE to go to Ireland but if you find yourself there and in Dublin, try Pickle, a Michelin-awarded restaurant. We decided to have an early dinner and snagged a reservation at Pickle, which I researched previously but didn't make a reservation ahead of time because we hadn't locked down our schedule. The day before we made our decision to stay in Dublin for the day so I looked at Pickle and found a reservation. The restaurant is a small narrow one and even given our early reservation it was packed. We were shown to our table and quickly greeted with water. After looking at the menu we ordered a bottle of white wine, a Bordeaux blanc. We also ordered appetizers of tandoori prawns and wings. Both were amazing. For our meals I got a pork chop vindaloo and my husband got a lamb shank. We ordered naan, okra and pickles, of course, to share. Everything was beautifully plated and really tasty. The only thing I didn't love were the pickles. I'm so glad I found this exceptional restaurant and would definitely go back.

Found this restaurant off the Michelin Guide list. The chef's aim to marry Irish produce with North Indian flavors. They incorporate a lot of pickles in the dishes. I got a classic mango lassi, the paneer methi malai (green peas, fenugreek, cashew nut, caramelized onion) with their garlic coriander naan. Everything was DELICIOUS. Paneer methi malai was a burst of flavors & their naan is unique, it's flat like a roti but still puffy like a naan. Ambiance is warm & cozy & service was above & beyond, the chef came to check in & the server Roshan was great. Definitely want to come back & try their apps. Cheers!

Chicken wings appetizer -- if you're a vegetarian, cut it out and get these.
Elizabeth S.

Pickle's interpretation of Indian food is one of the phenomenal dining experiences I've ever had. Don't go here for your standards -- you won't find "chicken tikka masala" or samosas. What you will find, however, are the most delicious combinations of flavors and spices ever. I've added some photos of the dishes my friend and I had; I highly recommend, however, that you ask your server what they'd recommend. We had great conversations with ours, and she steered us in the right direction each time. Go hungry. Take your time. Do not waste your limited stomach capacity on white rice -- instead, have the naan or order the variety basket to try different breads. You definitely need a reservation, and with other restaurants in Dublin, there are seating times between which you'll need to fit in. Dublin has become a real foodie town with many places to try. But if I were to return, I would prioritize coming back to Pickle.

Tandoori Prawns
Gina V.

We have to try Indian food in every city we visit. Our first night in Dublin, every local we asked said this was the best. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a reservation through their online booking site. I tried for a couple of days and finally decided to call them. They were wonderful and got us in for the next night. Service was excellent and everything we ordered was perfectly spiced to the level each of us requested- from tongue torch to mild. I'm very happy we were able to get in.

Tandoori prawns and the chicken wings. Both delicious the but the chicken wings are an absolute must!
Dan W.

Wonderful indian food using locally sourced Irish ingredients! there was spice, but nothing so spicy that you can't handle.

Pork belly rib appetizer with mango-pickle-like sauce.  Delicious and *filling*
Pat L.

We had a really delicious (warning: filling!) lunch at Pickle a couple days ago. The staff was completely on top of things and high quality, and the food was delicious. Their lunch prix fixe is a great deal, tons of delicious food at a reasonable price: It includes an appetizer, a main, rice and naan for a little bit more than an a la carte main. We got the pork belly ribs and samosa chaat as appetizers, both were fantastic. The ribs were a *lot* of food, deliciously flavored with a not-overwhelming mango-pickle-like sauce. The Samosa Chaat was well executed, two crispy samosa's with very good chutneys. For mains we got the butter chicken and chicken biryani, both were executed well as expected.

I can't remember what this is but it changed my life
Tori M.

Stressed trying to find words to describe this. I wish I could cuss on here Best Indian food I've ever had in my life potentially one of the best meals I've ever had this place is lowkey the only reason to visit Dublin. Like I'm actually speechless right now. My dad is an Indian food snob and says it's the best he's ever had idk I'm so stressed trying to convey how good this place is like. I let my waitress make all my decisions for me. I feel weird leaving here without kissing the chef on the cheek and telling him what he means to me If this was my death row meal I would go out with a smile on my face

Samosa chaat
Ruchika M.

Great Indian food and service! Made lunch reservations prior to traveling to Ireland after reading so many wonderful reviews and am so glad we made it to this restaurant. It was a bit of a cab ride from our hotel near the Docklands area but easy to get around in the city so wasn't a big deal. We were promptly seated on arrival and our servers were friendly and attentive. They have a lunch menu that has both a Prix Fixe menu and a la carte options. We ordered a la carte and enjoyed everything. My son ordered a mango lassi, one of the best I've ever had. We ordered the samosa chaat to start and had butter chicken, lamb curry, plain naan and Peshawari naan. Everything was delicious! We were too full for dessert. Happy we were able to get a table here, enjoyed every bite!

This was my favorite meal of the trip!!!!! It was also our final meal of the trip and what a way to close out Dublin. The food was so incredible, the ambiance is lovely and the server was so friendly and nice. You can't go wrong with any dish but we had the wings and a potato dish to start. For our main courses, we had the cottage cheese and spinach vegetarian special and the black Dahl with sides of rice, naan and pickles. Everything was SO delicious. I'll be thinking about this meal for a long time! Definitely make a reservation ahead of time!!!

Fish curry
Jackie A.

I need to start by saying you MUST try. I'm not picky but I love food. I have very high expectations. This place was so wonderful I can't say enough good things. We looked for places by our hotel. This was highly rated and also had no reservations for weeks. I figured we would stop by and give it a try that someone cancelled. We were so lucky to get a table right next to the kitchen. We ordered the fish curry (stone fish), paneer makhan masala, bread basket, and rice. We also got Prosecco and a bottle of Chardonnay. Everything was spiced perfectly, cooked to perfection, and the service was excellent. I have nothing to suggest and it was perfect. The lively kitchen and the calming dining room was a romantic and energetic environment. Must try! 5 stars and Michelin awarded too.

Masala cheese chilli naan Kadhai paneer
Danita M.

Wow!! I indian food often and all over the world, including India, and I must say I'm impressed! I'm glad I took the advise of another poster who said skip the rice and save precious space in your belly for everything else. I was a little sticker shocked at the prices and almost left. I'm so glad I stayed! It was well worth it! I ordered the Kadhai Paneer and masala cheese chili naan.

Chicken biryani
Megha N.

Best Indian I've had in Dublin. The Dal Bukhara and Aloo tikki chat were the best dishes. Just amazing! We tried chicken biryani and Chole Bhature both were average. Chole may be above average. The kulfi is really good and Mango lassi is quite thick but good. Before going I read a lot of reviews and I was very skeptical of the service. Happy to say it was great service and warm staff. Overall a good experience.

Well.. I do say…read more. That was simply the best meal I've had out in donkeys years. Truly the dogs pyjamas. It's no wonder it's in the Michelin guide, no Burger King or kebab Princesses here, let me tell ye. Not the usual 3 in 1 I got for, but this night was a special occasion.. a celebration of love and good fortune of which I am eternally grateful. A ham sanger and a wank would not suffice this Valentines Day to be sure to be sure. I brought my love through the open legs of Ananda and up to her warm bosom for an Indian embrace. All in after a tamarind cocktail to lube us up for an evening of meat slapping and spicey divilment. It was Saint Valentines birthday, after all.. Another entrée young Rajesh! We were here to spend. I had just landed a new high paying role with a formidable company and was in a feckless mindset brought on by the sexual ambience and perky nature of my lover. The service was uplifting, they hilariously all wait patiently about 2 foot away so as not to intrude and wait to be called, even though they know exactly when ye need another cocktail. Lol. Makes you feel like a real (Burger) King summoning his servants to dispose of your freshly filled nappies. Another tequila young squire! The food..a delight for all the senses, "tudo perfeito," my luscious Latin lady would later go on to whisper in my ear at the nightly climax. Usually, I'd fill a doggy bag to bring home for Max, but on this occasion, we left the plates emptier than a french synagogue in 1943. Massive portions busting with more spice than the brasserie in front of me around my wifes neck desperately trying to secure in her enormous tits. Fuck! And the dessert? Awf.. shtap. It was like sucking the Easter rabbits nipples drizzled in chocolate syrup. Take my money! I demand to pay! And pay we did. Then, a quick nip to the ol' head for a pipe squirt and a tingley poop as per usual after a west End Indian, not this time, though. Even my farts smelled like freshly cooked rosewater, cinnamon, and saffron biscuits. Needless to say.. when we got home, I took my partner's unmentionables off one leg at a time, persevered, sweated, and reached the tunnel of solitude until.. ugh.. silent grace and a peaceful dawn befell unto me, and we reached a sense of true oneness. Thank you, Mr Ananda, for more than just a meal, a new outlook on existence itself. For you I will gladly sleep in a wet patch.

Great modern Indian restaurant, worth the drive (as a visitor in Dublin 2). Not only was the menu…read moreinteresting, but everything was prepared to a very high standard. My favorite dish was the goat, though a platter of seafood dishes was also excellent and different. The ambiance is nice and service is excellent.
