Opium in Dublin

08/06/2025: I came hungry to the Market expecting a bulgogi burrito, but they were closed. I hesitated to switch to Indian, thinking you can get Indian anywhere; but to my pleasant surprise, this isn't your standard Indian place. I got the chicken curry. They fried the chicken, so it was a bit like a chicken nugget curry. The sauce had a nice tomato aroma. The waitresses were all very sweet. Apparently the water at the market is bad, so you have to buy bottled water. (Apparently it's still fine to cook with?)

08/06/2025: Honestly, one of the best meals I’ve had in months - maybe ever. We dove into a slow-cooked beef dish that was absolutely out of this world, paired with a Paneer Makhani so rich and velvety it deserves its own spotlight. Homemade cheese in a lush cashew curry. Perfectly flaky bread and colorful fragrant rice… pure magic on a plate. The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable, and the place is simple & cozy. Vegeterian and gluten-free options are included in the menu. We honestly couldn’t stop eating - or talking about how insanely good everything was. We already planned our next visit! It's walk-in only, but the staff will make sure to find a place for you asap. We were only two and we didn't wait at all. Tucked away in Blackrock Market, this place is a true hidden gem. Go before everyone else finds out.
