The best restaurantsof indian

17/03/2025: Ordered takeaway, very disappointing overall, we usually love Indian food, will not order again.

16/02/2025: Absolutely amazing food. Great choices. Meat platter starter for 2 was delicious and hot and spicy. The sizzling prawns and chicken balti was very tasty. The Garlic Naan was extra nice. The staff are very nice and super friendly and we had a fantastic night. The complimentary drink at the end is always a nice touch. Looking forward to eating there again.

05/03/2025: Absolutely beautiful food, nicest meal I've had in a long time! The staff were so welcoming, friendly and attentive and a lovely calm atmosphere. Will absolutely be back.

02/02/2025: Shanai is one of our absolute favorite Indian restaurants, and for good reason. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially with children. They go above and beyond, remembering our previous orders and offering excellent recommendations. The food is consistently excellent. I've personally enjoyed the tandoori sea bass, tandoori prawns, and chicken korma, all of which were delicious. Our kids adore the chicken pakora with rice, garlic naan, and chips. We highly recommend Shanai for a consistently wonderful dining experience.

04/03/2025: A perfect place for my family. We miss Indian food in dublin and spice village makes sure to fulfill our dreams of eating authentic indian food

10/02/2025: 2 mains, 2 rice, a starter and a naan delivered an hour later cold and was nearly 50 euro, won’t be ordering again.

20/03/2025: I didn't find the staff very friendly, while we were paying he answered the phone instead of dealing with us first..

23/02/2025: good chicken not processed. Had house spice chicken no flavour and no thick sauce.

03/03/2025: Was very excited to try this place but unfortunately nothing tasted fresh and was not even warm so it was like they had cooked all the starters the night before. Main course was better thank god, it was a chicken tikka masala which was very tasty with delicious naan bread and rice

25/02/2025: Have always rated indie spice 5 star . Been going here since it opened everything I go home to naas. Some constructive criticism. Chicken not as tender as it used to be but flavours are amazing Portion sizes small compared to other Indian restaurants especially the rice. Getting excessively pricey. 85 euro for two main courses with one rice one chip and cheapest bottle of wine.

02/02/2025: Nos mudamos a Barna hace unas semanas y mi pareja y yo cenamos en Spiced el viernes por la noche. Fue excelente. Restaurante encantador y excelente comida. Una verdadera joya en Barna y sin duda un restaurante que visitaremos más de una vez en el futuro. Muy recomendable.

19/12/2024: A really amazing meal: wonderful flavours delicious range and first class service.. thank you

25/02/2025: Had a beautiful tasting menu, the staff are very efficient and friendly, great value for money, highly recommended

25/02/2025: Disappointing and Not Authentic at All I had ordered the Malwani Lamb Gravy with a tandoori roti, expecting a rich, flavorful Malwani-style dish with coconut and authentic spices. However, the gravy was overwhelmingly sour due to excessive curd, which is not even a part of traditional Malwani lamb preparation. It completely lacked the signature coastal flavors and was nowhere close to what it should have been. To make things worse, the roti wasn't even a proper tandoori roti. Overall, a complete disappointment and a waste of money. Would not recommend!

18/01/2025: Not what I was expecting after reading other reviews, I eat a lot of Indian food and cook this type of cuisine very well myself, so my expectations were high. On arrival we were asked to wait 2 minutes, and then told that our table was the round one by the window, we weren't shown to our table and had to wait for a few minutes before the waitress arrived with the menus, so our first impressions weren't great. The food was mediocre, nothing special about it, I didn't particularly enjoy my lamb bhuna, but the rice and naan bread, which are both extra as you don't get a side with the main meal were nice. There was only one girl serving in the restaurant floor and they were clearly busy with takeaway orders, so the service fell below my expectations, as did the atmosphere which was bland and quite boring, no background music and overall a feeling of just eat and leave, there was a about the restaurant to make us want to linger any further than the main meal, so we didn't order dessert or coffee. The starter of poppadoms with dips was a bit of a joke, I specifically asked if we should order one each, but our waitress said one would be enough. I couldn't believe what came out to us, a few pieces of poppadom and one teeny tiny miniscule bowl of onion salad, nothing else, no chutney, cucumber yoghurt etc. For a fiver I would have expected at least enough to enjoy the poppadoms with, however we ate most of them dry because we were so hungry. My usual Indian restaurant serves a large portion of poppadoms with 3 dips and it's complimentary, arriving to the table very quickly after being seated. Overall the experience was nothing special, the decor was lovely and everything was very clean, the fact that the building was a post office once upon a time is a big plus and adds to the aesthetic charm, but the food was average and the pricing a little over the top for what you get. I would be reluctant to go back, unlike my usual Indian restaurant which I love for the friendly staff, excellent food and authentic atmosphere.

18/01/2025: We went to this restaurant tonight for a long overdue Indian meal, first impressions were good, the decor was nice and everything looked very clean. We were told that our table was by the window and was round, but if we wanted a different table we could change, we weren't shown to our table or made to feel overly welcome, but we didn't mind, the restaurant was warm, and quiet at the time and we were happy with the window seats. The young lady who was serving and seemed to be the only waiting staff was pleasant and friendly, she brought menus and took our drink orders. We perused the menu which was quite small and not a lot of choice, but the basics were there, to my disappointment there were no karahi dishes listed, I was really looking forward to enjoying my favourite dish, but had to decide on something else, we decided to order poppadoms and dips for starters, which turned out to be approx 7 quarter size poppadoms and a teeny tiny shallow 2 inch bowl of onion salad, definitely not enough for 3 people (I did ask our waitress if we should order more than 1 between us and she said no) and a bit miserable considering that they were just under 5 euros, this was very disappointing as I was expecting at least three dips, just the standard cucumber raita, some mango chutney and onion salad, I would have happily paid a bit extra if these were provided, but my usual Indian restaurant provides poppadoms and 3 dips gratis and serve them immediately on arrival. For the main I chose lamb bhuna, whilst my two companions ordered chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka jalfreizi respectively, we ordered 2 servings of pilau rice, 1 garlic naan and 1 plain naan The waiting time for the main to arrive was considerable, but not to the point of complaining. The portions when they arrived were decent and the naan breads were beautiful. My bhuna was so so, but I wasn't blown away, there was a fragrance to it that I haven't experienced before, and although it didn't stop me enjoying the meal, it certainly didn't add to my enjoyment, I would have preferred if whatever was used to add such fragrance was left out, the naan was delightful though and the rice was cooked to perfection. I tried some of the chicken tikka jalfreizi and it was nice but again I wasn't blown away by it. I didn't try the tikka masala but my friend enjoyed it and said it was good. The ladies toilet was spotless clean and overall I had no qualms about the general aesthetics of the restaurant, but I think a bit of effort could be made with some music playing and a more welcoming atmosphere, I certainly didn't feel inclined to stay any longer than we did, but probably would have ordered coffee and dessert had there been a good atmosphere. I appreciate that we arrived at tea time on a Friday evening, and they were clearly busy with takeaway orders, but I was expecting a bit more authenticity, as I am used to eating at Indian restaurants where that would be standard. I terms of value for money, I would say it was fair to middling, but no more than that. 1 portion of poppadoms and 3 main meals, plus 1 can of Fanta and 2 sparkling waters for just under €80 is not unreasonable, but they really let themselves down with the poppadom starter and lack of atmosphere. Would I go back again? Probably not, I can travel slightly further and spend less for a much more authentic Indian meal experience and a friendlier vibe, albeit maybe not as aesthetically pleasing at my regular Indian restaurant, I would sacrifice aesthetics for the enjoyment of a truly Indian experience, with very friendly staff who treat their clients like visiting royalty over the blandness of bombay palace any day of the week.

14/03/2025: What an incredible dinner my friends and I had here. No reservations, but we were kindly greeted and quickly sat. The service was impeccable and the food was DELICIOUS. Samosas were excellent bites, and the vindaloo was spicy, as it should be! Everything was so flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend this location for Indian food. 10/10

10/03/2025: Delicious food, good portion, extra hot sauce with the biryani as requested! Friendly staff. Definitely be going back.
