This was a great place for Indian food in Cork. My colleague and I are both aficionados of Indian…read morecuisine and he was readily amenable when I suggested that style of fare for dinner. I looked on Yelp and a couple of other sites to find this place. It sported a pretty good set of reviews in the places I looked. It was only a ten-minute drive from our hotel so we decided to give it a try. Their location in the old Sunday's Well section of Cork actually looked a little run down. It might be off-putting for some but that shouldn't deter anyone from giving it a try. The interior is nicely kept, is a bit cozy, and provides a comfortable dining atmosphere. Our waitress was excellent. She was a very pleasant and helpful person who provided flawless service. It was a Monday and thus was not too busy, which I thought was a positive contributor to our experience. There were several good choices on the menu. My colleague started with veg samosas and was happy with them. I opted for the Chicken Pakora starter, which was very tasty. My colleague had a vegetarian curry option while I chose the Bindhi Chicken. Mine had a great taste as it was optimally spiced and very flavorful. My colleague was equally happy with his choice. In the end, I had a Masala Chai, which was properly made with boiled milk. Their recipe had the right amount of cinnamon which made it the ideal finisher. Our bill was less than €50 for the two of us including drinks and a small tip. We were quite happy with the value. I will look forward to trying this place again when next in Cork.

We ordered inside and waited only 10 or so minutes for the order. With COVID there is no inside seating, so we took it away with us. But they must get many call in orders as the owner ran out to a car at the curb to deliver a bag. We ordered 2 different samplers-the meat grill and the starter sampler. It was superb!! The meat samosa and the veggie samosa were yummy. The tandoori meats were brilliantly seasoned. The sausage was so good and I don't even know what it was. You have to give them a try. The prices are super reasonable, and they feature some lunch specials that sound perfect for an afternoon.

This restaurant was a bit hard to find with Google maps as the location was not entirely accurate…read more After a bit of searching we realized it was on the second floor. The ambiance is quite nice. We were seated where the windows are so we got a good view of the street. We ordered the butter chicken, sag paneer (spinach and cheese), with 2 orders of naan bread and 1 order of cheese naan I can tell the chicken in the butter chicken was added after the sauce was cooked. The chicken didn't have the typical flavour that butter chicken have when the meat is cooked with the sauce. Also the butter chicken sauce was a bit too sweet for me and too creamy. The sag paneer on the other hand was a hit for me. This dish felt like a genuine traditional Indian dish. The spice was just right and not oily. Another plus for me was the service. The waiter / waitresses kept an eye on us to make sure we were happy. Overall, the ambiance, views, and service was great. One mark off on the butter chicken but the other food dishes were excellent. Advice: the restaurant currently offers a promotion of 20% off if you order online for pick up or delivery (as of September 2019)

Our airbnb host suggested this place and I'm so glad she did - the food is fantastic. We ordered the chicken tikka karahi and chicken tikka madras. The madras was spicier and the veggies were more finely blended. The meals came with drinks, rice, hard naan and dipping sauces. I didn't care for the sauces, which were a sweet mustard and diced onions. We also ordered a garlic naan, which was very good and great for dipping in our meals. We ordered takeout, so I can't speak to the table service. However, the restaurant was nicely decorated. We waited about 15 minutes for our food and during that time a couple of locals came in to place orders. The total cost for our meal was €27. This place is a gem!

In terms of taste the sambar isn't so fresh but their coconut chutney was amazing!!! The dosa wasn't as crispy or as large as I'd like but i guess not bad. Their samosa chat was very yummy - would certainly recommend that! Overall if you're vegetarian craving a hot meal or just someone looking to try new cuisines this spot is certainly for you.

My family and I visited this elegant Indian restaurant in the heart of Cork city over the Christmas break. For starters, we ordered an Assorted Indian snacks. This was scrumptious to say the least. In the mains, we got a Chicken Biryani, two Bombay Aloo's, a garlic naan, and a cheese & onion naan. Since my partner and I are vegetarian, we chose the Bombay Aloo. This was one of several vegetarian options they had on their menu. We quite liked that they had vegan options as well. The food and service were impeccable. Being of an Indian background, I must say that the quality of their food and the balance of their spices was quite remarkable.
