    15 and 16 euros per main course by the looks of it - no mention there what it includes.

    I'd agree with that assessement as to the village proper. The actual residential/postal address of Clonsilla would probably extend up as far as St Josephs Hospital and down to Molloys and up to Shelerin Road I would think. As an Ongar resident, I sometimes have to say I'm from Clonsilla as folks from elsewhere wouldn't be so familar with Ongar.

    I don't think people try to exaggerate the boundary the way they do with Castleknock! :)

    Ongarboy, I say Clonsilla too re Ongar after years of people going "Where???" (although in the last few years it seems people are more familiar with Ongar). I used to say Clonee but that always led to "But that's in Meath and not Dublin, isn't it?" and explanations of how there is a Dublin 15 Clonee and a Meath Clonee...Clonsilla is just easier to mention all round!

    As for Spice of India in the old Shimla, just checked out their website and the food sounds delicious! Chicken Chaat starters are hard to come by!! I'll be ordering from them in the near future.

    Lamb Charahi, Veg Jalfrezi and Pilau Rice.
    The lamb was so tender and plenty of it. Plenty of different veg, in the Jalfrezi as well.

    Might be giving them a call tonight! :)

    Just after finishing off our second take away visit from Spice of India and it was spot on.

    Lamb Biryani, Chicken Jalfrezi, with Pilau rice, really really nice. If they keep up this standard, they'll have us completely hooked :)

    I went for a meal on Saturday with my wife and kids.

    I enjoyed the food but wont be going again in a hurry.

    Sitting there eating your food and people coming in to order a takeaway looking at what your eating is not my kind of thing...very disappointed in the layout.
    Why would you put a takeaway counter at the back of the restaurant?
    The waiters weren't really nice.No character,not really pleasant.

    Last thing.

    The price...

    Now I know indian is usually dearer than a chinese etc but its a rip off.

    16 euro for a dish without rice or chips is taking the mickey this day and age.

    Anyway just thought Id post my feelings..

    Personally I used to always enjoy old shimla as a takeaway more than a sit in

    If anyone has been so far and can say it's better than Jaipur, let me know so I can book our next Indian there to try out. I've been loyal to Jaipur since day 1 as they have never let me down with their quality, service and ambience.

    Agreed. And one of the many, many things I love about Jaipur is that it's never overcrowded - it's a lovely big restaurant so even when it's busy, you don't have people sitting on top of you. That used to worry me because I was concerned they might not be getting enough business, but they seem to be doing great on takeaways any time I'm in there, between collections and deliveries! I suppose the demographic around here includes a lot of couples with young children who might not have babysitters and would opt for a takeaway instead. That's my case anyway, although I do prefer going down there for a sit-down meal on the rare occasion when I do have a babysitter!

    We used to go regularly but always thought it was a shame there was no bar to pop into after a meal in there, so when we were out for a meal and a few drinks afterwards we'd pick somewhere else.

    Just noticed that there's a deal on Menupages at the moment for Spice of India in Clonsilla.

    I got lamb korma from there a couple of weeks ago and it was really good.

    Both the Commander in Chief and myself have purchased a good number of different take aways since Spice of India opened and the standard food is simply wonderful.

    In answer to my quote above. They have and we are :)
