3 Leaves in Dublin

Amazing food, probably the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been.

A small and cozy place, with truly excellent dishes. The service was impeccable, everyone was very kind and helpful, especially the owner, Milli, who was incredibly helpful with choosing the dishes. If you have the chance, you absolutely must stop by.

I have been on the fence about leaving a review for quite some time. The first time I came here, I was blown away by the quality of their food. It is quite simply magnificent, the flavours, the blends of herbs and spices literally are something out of India with a level up. I walked out of the place so full and satisfied. The lady who owns the place was incredibly welcoming. We talked for quite some time. She actually introduced me to the chef, and everyone was just so warm and it was refreshing to have such a wonderful experience. It was a Michelin star experience. However, my second visit was quite the opposite, unfortunately. This time I had booked a table for four. two of which were family members over 70. who were traveling from abroad. I was very excited to show them this magnificent experience. I arrived early and was shown to the table, and within two minutes I was asked where the rest of my party were. I explained that they were parking the car and they would be here shortly, but they were old, so it might take them a few minutes over the next 10 minutes. I was asked at least five or six times by various members of staff where the rest of my party were. I felt completely and utterly rushed and as if I was doing them a disservice by being in the restaurant, my party arrived approximately 10 minutes late. I could understand if the restaurant was busy or fully booked, but there was only two other tables in use, so I didn’t understand the urgency. Unfortunately, this behavior continued throughout my visit. It was so overwhelming, we rushed our meal and left. This time the food wasn’t up to the standards of the first visit.. the portions were half the size. We all left feeling hungry. I understand it’s a Michelin star, but when you’re spending €70-80 pp. I have not returned since, and I’m not sure I will. Maybe it was just a bad day, I’m not too sure, but it definitely wasn’t busy enough to justify the incredible rude service we had to endure by the time we had ordered a couple of drinks, they were asking us to order our mains. We were asked to order twice, even though we had just put the order in. It was just the strangest experience I’ve ever had for a place that wasn’t busy.

Love this place. The food is always amazing and Millie is so welcoming.

This place is a hidden secret. Unreal food and atmosphere

Unbelievably good!. We were a group of 12 for a late Saturday lunch. Group included the owner (Which possibly explains our star treatment but I suspect is the same for one and all) of the very successful Blackrock market which has to be said oozes charm & character. For whatever reason, we got treated like absolute royalty! Food was positively sumptuous. Thank you so so so much Santosh & Millie for an outstanding feast! No small wonder the restaurant is recommended by the Michelin Guide since 2020.

I've been a customer since the Three Leaves opened in Blackrock years ago & taken pleasure in their success and growth since their humble start. Its a family business offering authentic Indian cuisine, genuine hospitality, reasonable prices & pre-weekend, taster menus that allow you to try a little bit of everything. It is my treat to myself and I've brought everyone I love there so they can enjoy it as much as I do. Go early to avoid the queues at the weekend and when the weathers good, sit outside to people watch. You'll thank me :) PS I was back there again last thursday and they are now open on Thurs & Fri evenings - I honestly cannot recommend the Three Leaves highly enough. The menu is great, the food is outstanding and now it is available to people who couldn't get there for its' previous opening times. Hurrah!

This is currently one of our absolute favorite restaurants, and we only discovered it recently because every time we had passed through Blackrock Market before, it happened to be closed. We finally went this week, and the food was delicious. We love how small, intimate, and welcoming the space feels. I ordered a meat dish that is traditionally eaten with your hands. While I understand table etiquette, eating food the way it’s culturally intended to be enjoyed completely changes the tasting experience—and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Our waitress was lovely, and the woman managing everything (who we believe is part of the founding family) was an absolute sweetheart. We ended up having a wonderful conversation about plants and how food isn't just sustenance, but something that nourishes your soul and emotions. We truly enjoyed our time there. One quick note: as with much of this cuisine, most dishes are spicy or at least mildly spicy, so if you aren't used to heat, it’s best to ask beforehand.

Delicious food, great service, an absolute gem…

The whole experience was amazing
