Nice Indian Take Away

John Mason

I am looking for a nice Indian take away in Dublin 11 or surrounds.

I used to get The Golden Spice in Finglas but that seems to have gone. Have been getting from a place in dorset street recently but tbh it's not the best

thanks

Fajitas!

Spice & Rice on Dorset St isn't the worst by a long shot, not exactly in Finglas, but on your way if you're coming from town.

Spice n Rice should deliver to D11, its not the greatest indian you'll ever have but its okay

Bombay to go on prospect road (I think), its beside mizzoni's at harts corner in glasnevin. Lovely food but everything is very spicy so beware.

Randomswinger

Jamuna opposite Fagans in Drumcondra

They don't deliver but its worth the drive to collect

they cook the food right infront of you which is always good plus they do wine there as well. last time i was there they had a special along the lines of get full meal for two and get a free bottle of wine.

I live in Finglas and I always ring Bombay to go, their North Indian Chicken Chilli is yummy, Spice 'n' Rice used to be good but not so much lately.

Would definitely recommend BOMBAY TO GO at Harts Corner, Glasnevin. Really really delicious. I also love Jamuna for a sit down mean. Might even go there at the weekend.

Ordered food from the Bombay Pantry on Friday night and i have to say, it was top class, would highly recommend it:)

I'm just after throwing most of an Indian in the bin.


Occassionally I'll get a take away from 'India Link' in Portmarnock after training, but TBH I've never enjoyed their food.

Well tonight was the worse yet.

Ordered a chicken Tikka, Pilua rice & Garlic nan - pure sh*t.

It was tasteless, the tikka looked more like a Korma and as for the chicken in it.

The bit that was there (Indians don't over feed us from most take aways) were just thin slivers of chicken (pre-cooked like you get in the worse Chinese) and basically fit for the bin.

Never again from this place.

We had similar experiences there over the last year or so ... up until then it was actually quite good, and we would drive down from Raheny to order there.

I wonder if there was a change of management/staff ... maybe quality was affected by this ? Something has certainly changed.

Anyhoo ... three bad'uns in a row was enough for me. Never again

I get food from The Golden Spice on Dorset St... have a menu here from them... I think it's gorgeous!

Twee.

Not in the specified area, but if anyone is near Palmerstwown, Rasoi on Manor Road is the best around. Just delicious!

The Food Guru is pricey but well worth it.

God I love Bombay Pantry! Im my house I get from the one in Rathmines and when I visit Mammy I get from the one in Marino. Yum! Loads of veggie options too - best saag paneer I've ever had! Oh, I'm getting hungry now...!

Bombay Pantry is run by a bunch of scabs who cut costs wherever possible. If you want fresh food from them, do not order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken masala, any of the rices or naan breads. Only some of the actual curries are made fresh, the rest is reheated.

The food takes literally five minutes to put together and then it's left on heated racks, and you're told it'll take 20 minutes or whatever so they give the illusion that the whole lot is cooked fresh.

Their portions including chicken are often borderline pathetic too. Pity, the place was a lot different 2 years or so but has taken a dive now.

Jamuna, €9.50 for 2 course lunch is Fantastic value incl Saturday.

Strange, I've been going to the one in Rathmines for about 3 years now and I've never had a problem. If you order your food and wait there, because of the open plan lay out, you can see them all cooking your food fresh.

I'm a veggie though so I can't say I know about their chicken dishes but the veggie ones are always great.

i have to say this isnt my experience of them.

the portion are bloody huge, i usually get two dinners out of it and have stop ordering starters, as i cant make it through the main course.

i have stood and watched them cook of my food but then again, i am a veggie, so cant comment on the meat dishes, but him in doors absolutley loves it.

anyway, they will continue to get my business, its the best indian in the Dublin 11,9,15 area.

I ordered from the Ashtown branch of Bombay Pantry last night 5th Nov 09. Dublin has traditionally been served by a range of poor or average Indian take aways. Bombay Pantry has been good in the past and has developed a good reputation. I have eat from the Fairview branch and the Rathmines branch in the past and have enjoyed the experience.

This was the second time I used the Ashtown branch. Our first experience was poor but we put this down to a one-off and did not complain. However last nights awful meal compelled me to write this review to warn any potential customers and urge them not to eat from there.

The two main dishes we order were Beef Karahi (with tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, ginger,garlic and fresh green chillies) and Lamb Bhuna (with yoghurt and spices, braised with diced potatoes ginger juliennes, green chillies and garlic). As the menu states these should be be fundamentally different dishes. But the base sauce that provided was exactly same and both were so over-spiced that neither my wife and I could not eat them. I am part Indian and we have been to India several times. I do expect Irish Indian take-aways to be reflective of Indian food however I do expect a little respect to be shown to Irish customers who deserve and expect Indian food. However this food would not pass the test of any Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi.

The other starters and nan bread tasted like it had been cooked several days before, and just reheated, which in turn had over cooked the product. Finally we found two human hairs in one of the dishes. This was the final straw I called the Branch and complained. I got several apologies but no indication that the Bombay Pantry valued me as a regular customer and wanted to make amends.

Frankly I do not believe BP when they say 'We are dedicated to producing the best Indian food for our customers. Using the freshest ingredients, highly experienced native chefs and state of the art kitchens, our promise is 100% natural fresh food cooked to order.

It is not, well cooked, authentic or of any reasonable quality.

All in all I am so disappointed that I spent over 40 Euros on what I consider rubbish.

Then dont order from them and if you get a bad one...COMPLAIN!!!

I have to agree about Bombay Pantry. We got take away once from Fairview and it was reheated crap. Colder in the middle. Disappointed after the raving reviews.
I see Okra Green in Howth are doing takeaway for 10% off restaraunt menu. Still too pricey though.

Had the most amazing Butter Chicken in India Link a few months back. Unfortunately it wasn't the same the next 2 times.

Indie Spice is another good one in Swords. Best I've had recently, but it wasn't take away.

Food Guru in Baldoyle was ok when it started. Haven't been there in a while though.

dunno the name of it but there is a lovely one across the road from the beaumount house. i like it a lot.

or rupsha in drumcondra.

I can vouch for Bombay To Go... great food. Nice staff, too. Love the delivery guy who practises his English pleasantries when he delivers stuff. Though it's been so long since I ordered he may have moved on from such things and become disgruntled

As for Jamuna, nice place, good food but last time I was there with teh ladyfriend there was a nice, huge, disgusting black hair in her sauce. Not nice. Never been back since...

Dancor

Spice n Rice
Tasty Hut
Golden Spice.

All on Dorset St and all great. Spice n rice is best for meals. The other two are better for take-aways.

i dont care what anyone says about bombay pantry, the place should be shut down its so terrible, i was living up in royal canal park 2 years ago around when the place opened, i was really impressed on how the shows appearance looked, it looked really classy and clean so i thought id give it a go, first thing that hit me as odd was the fact that there was a fridge with a load of precooked currys in it, anyways, i decided to order a chicken tika masala, i think i had it in the fancy looking paper bags they give out in like 10 mins flat. anyways, got the curry home and it was horrible, it didnt even taste hot, just kinda felt like it was thrown back into a wok for 5 mins. i wouldnt waste my time or money on it again....

And India link in beaumont isnt much better, i had the exact same experience as the guy in the previous post about it, got a chicken tika masala from them, when i got it the thing was nearly cold, it didnt even taste , look or even resemble a masala, it was more like a really low grade curry sauce on it. even at that, the shop is filthy looking so you can imagine what theyre kitchens are like!

I still maintain that the one in Rathmines is one of the best Indian take-aways I've ever had. Anyway...

They gave me food poisining on Chrismtas Eve this year. I could barely eat my Christmas dinner And it's pretty difficult for me to get food posioning since I'm a veggie and I rarely eat dairy products or eggs (i had neither on Christmas Eve). Booooooooo

It's a bit of and over reaction to say that because your dinner on one occasion wasn't your cup of tea and wasn't roasting hot, that the place should be shut down :pac:

Bombay Pantry is one of the best take aways around. The point of the fridge full of precooked dinners is so that you can take them home and heat them up whenever you like.

Food is good there. I think they actually have their meals frozen so you can buy them and reheat later.
