The Holy Grail in New ross

I have known Shijo Shijo Bhaskaran since 2003, from his days with TAJ Hotels, so I knew we were in for something special when we decided to visit The Holy Grail, New Ross for our first Sadya of the year on Atham 1. Three families made the journey all the way from Dublin to experience the legendary hospitality that Shijo and his team are known for, and every mile was worth it. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed. A beautifully arranged table, complete with traditional banana leaves, was waiting for us. Once seated, Shijo, his brother Shibu, and their wonderful team served each dish with care and attention. The spread was exceptional: Erissery, Olan, Kalan, Pacha Moru, Madhurakkari, Koottu Curry, Pachadi, Kichadi, Inji Curry and many more, each prepared to perfection and bursting with authentic flavour. To crown the feast, we were treated to two delicious varieties of payasam, providing the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Despite the restaurant being full, the service remained smooth, attentive, and perfectly paced. It was truly "food for the soul." We left with our hearts and stomachs equally full, completely satisfied by the experience. A heartfelt thank you to Shijo, Shibu, and the entire Holy Grail New Ross team for your humble hospitality and outstanding service. Wishing you all a very Happy Onam, and we look forward to returning again soon! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Kerala cuisine and genuine hospitality. 🌿🙏🎉

Good service, nice food 💙 I like it

The best I've ever tried Tonight!

I had a great dinner at The Holy Grail with my wife! The food was excellent, they had a very nice selection, and I had a lovely conversation with the kitchen staff (shoutout to Jo!) Would highly recommend for any visit to New Ross for a nice dinner.

Food was amazing and the service was great. Really friendly staff and hot and tasty food would definitely recommend

Lovely little coffee bar in the reception area, nice staff and nice food.

A little gem of a place well worth a visit. The menu is very good with a good variation

We arrived just as the restaurant opened, quiet and server still cleaning from the previous night service. To start we started with the lollipop chicken to share was nice and tender. For the main my partner got a chicken korma which she rated highly. For my own main I got a lamb jalfrezi which was strange to say the least and not tasting like any Iv had before extremely chicken based taste with little to now spice. I also got a Tiger beer draught pint which was very flat even for tiger beer.

It’s a shame that this place isn’t more authentic. When I’m craving Indian, I want Roti, Paneer, Daal. None of these white washed meals. The pasta tasted like a curry which is what I found the funniest. It’s decent by New Ross standards, but as someone who’s from Dublin, I won’t be eating here again.

The Holy Grail,a spectacular restaurant with kind staff always ready to help.Never once was I not happy with service,food is made freshly and tastes great many options for vegetarians and vegans.The HG also informs you about allergies which is very helpful. The good to go bag is very convenient for not wasting food and is overall imacalant. Kind regards,Charlotte
