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.

The staff were friendly and approachable and the place itself is clean, tidy and spacious.

I ALWAYS begin with behari kebab which is served with a yoghurt as it is quite spicey.. with a side of freshly prepared cucumbers and side salad. This is simply delicious, if you aren't into spicey food there is other options too so don't worry too much!! For a main course, I usually opt for chicken tikka masala as it is a classic and it is simply DELICIOUS! The dishes are served in beautiful red pots with lids, so there is no rush or worry on your food going cold as the pots prevent it from doing so! If you are booking, I do reccomend you to ask for a window seat as it is the most beautiful view ever- Clontarf and if you're really lucky you could be watching the local boats of Clontarf Yacht and Boat Club out sailing in their dinghies or cruisers. So, if you're coming from town you can hop on the 130 from Lower Abbey Street and it will stop right outisde Kinara Restaurant. I guarantee, once you dine here you will want to go back straight away as the food is AH-MAY-ZING! The staff are so friendly and polite and are there if you need advice on the menu. To finish- if you are there for dinner, they do really goood desert cocktails (i've never tasted them so relying on my sisters experience) , if you're not into an alcoholic desert they do these amazing traditional Indian drinks called Mango Lassi's! Hope this is helpful, and definitely the best Indian Restaurant in Ireland. Plus they've two other restaurants- one in Ranelagh and one in Malahide.

We told him up front my wife is allergic to tomatoes and any hot spices....our meals turned out incredible! They cusomized a chicken dish for my wife that was off the charts, a non-spiced, no-tomato version of Makhanwala Murghi. It had mouth watering tender chicken in a ginger & garlic sauce. I ordered Bhindi Gosht as is, off the menu, and was delighted with tender lamb chunks in a mildly spicy sauce. The fresh naan bread melted in the mouth. They served a very light crispy tortilla-like basket of chips with two dipping sauces that had no hot spices or tomato....again to accommodate food allergies. Service was impeccable and we stuck our head in the kitchen door to thank the chefs on our way out for the amazing meal!

It is a bit amusing to me that my first meal in Dublin should not be an old-fashioned Irish stew or…read morebangers & mash in a pub but instead some standard home-style Indian food in a relatively empty but clean restaurant near that inexplicable Millennium Spire, something they advertise heavily on their menu cover. I can understand why since it would be hard to seek out this place otherwise. In full disclosure, I was in a post-jet-lag haze and thought I was going to the other Madina across O'Connell, the one praised on Yelp, but it turned out this is a pretty new place just getting established since it was getting a lot of passing glances but no takers. OK I'll give it a try. I have to admit it was not a promising start with the € 3.95 Tandoori Chicken Leg, which was a bit dry and not even covered in the requisite tumeric and cayenne to give it the rich red color I was expecting. It came with a side salad and a strange little dollop of mayo and ketchup as if to appease local tastes I'm assuming (see photo). Chicken is chicken, and I was tired and famished, so it was good enough. It just wasn't anything that thrilled me in the least. Much better was the next dish that arrived, the € 5.96 Bhindi Bhaji, an okra dish with plenty of spices though I'm not sure what the difference is between bhaji and masala (see photo). I assume it's a regional variation as this had a more earthy and less tomato-based flavor. It had plenty of fresh cilantro and scallions on top, and it was a nice contrast. The Boiled Rice was an extra € 2.50, though you need it to sop up the homemade sauce. Diners were beginning to trickle in as I was finishing which was just as well as they had staff who were just shooting the breeze otherwise. Not the owner though as he was on me like ham on rye bringing a whole new level to attentive service. There are lots of Indian options in Dublin, but if you happen to be near the pointless pointy thing, it's worth a visit for lunch at least. FOOD - 3 stars...a lackluster tandoori chicken followed by a much better okra dish balances out my rating here AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...clean and empty SERVICE - 4 stars...attentive and (I think) appreciative of the business TOTAL - 3 stars...may improve over time, worth a try

What stands out about this food is how fresh it is. I had great falafel which tasted so good, and was served with fresh salad, two great sauces and a side of chips. This place is perfect for lunch and they have very reasonable meal deals usually a main with chips or rice and a drink for 7 or 8 euro. The restaurant itself, though canteen style, certainly has an element of class about it. It's a bright and airy room with comfortable chairs and tables. I'd certainly recommend it for lunch

My family and I tried many many of their dishes and they were all great, the only issue is, we have to repeat that we like it mild, getting the food mild (which is still spicy but tolerable spice) was important for us, cause the mistakes keeps on repeating. Nevertheless, we still always buy from this place because it's still delicious, worth it, customer service handles it well, it's high quality, and if we get delivery, it's reasonable priced as well. Delivery service is a great price as well. For delivery the dishes run from €10-20. Definitely recommend, but if u r like us, do make sure to ask for mild.
