Ananda in Dublin

My recent visit to Ananda left my taste buds dancing with joy, yet the experience was tinged with a sense of dissatisfaction due to an unexpected service charge. Let me delve into the delightful culinary journey and the less savory aspect of my dining experience. The food at Ananda was nothing short of amazing. We indulged in a spread that included their heavenly kofta, rich Daal Makahani, and fragrant biryani. Each dish was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and expertly crafted. The kofta, with its melt-in-your-mouth texture and savory sauce, was a standout. The Daal Makahani had a comforting, creamy richness that paired flawlessly with fluffy naan. And the biryani, with its aromatic spices and tender meat, was a celebration of traditional Indian cuisine. However, the joy of the meal was overshadowed by the restaurant's decision to impose a 13% service fee. It seemed unjustified to charge such a fee without offering a commensurate level of service. In contrast, I've dined at Michelin-starred restaurants like Rasam in Dublin, where such forced or guilt-driven charges are noticeably absent, allowing the focus to remain solely on the culinary experience.

Very nice restaurant. Friendly staff and great food.

We loved the experience and the ambience …. The food was finger licking good.

I am usually not a big fan of indian cuisine but this place and everything we have tried here it is just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Service is 5/5 Totally worth the visit , and i would visit again ..

I recently visited Ananda dundrum which was recommended by my friend, the atmosphere is designed with modern elements with Indian tradition and it turned out to be one of the finest experiences in Dublin The service was absolutely flawless with incredible knowledge about menu and with wine pairing, I will be absolutely returning again.

Very authentic food and the ambience. Loved it

Phenomenal Indian restaurant in Dundrum. We had dinner here a couple of times and it never disappoints. All dishes are phenomenal and very well presented and the service is very attentive.

Ananda is, and always has been, the place to go for fine Indian cuisine. They're recently introduced Himalayan Tasting Menu continues their tradition of innovative representations of Indian region cuisine. The combination of originality, taste, presentation and efficient, attentive and courteous service marks this place out as somewhere really special.

Siempre un placer. Comida india de la más alta calidad. El vástago de cordero cocinado lentamente fue la pieza central estrella, pero todo estaba delicioso. Si quieres experimentar la comida india, no encontrarás mejor que Ananda.
