This is the first time I can recall the place being closed by the HSA. I always thought there was something odd about the place. Constantly opening and closing as a take away (don't think they were HSA closure related).

The lamb overdone, but I found out that I could have asked for medium rare. They automatically blast it to a crisp if you don't ask otherwise. I got a side of pilau rice which was very tasty. My missus got the salmon - bloody delicious, big portion and very melt in your mouth. With a side of sweet potato fries. Think we spent about 26 euro for the two of us. No starter or dessert. Nobody asked if we enjoyed the meal though, and I think they should have. They were just opened up and some early feedback would be good for them. For example, they should ask if you want the meat burned or medium rare. Could have done with a bit more salad too. I'll return for another go and ask for medium next time. I have some pics on my phone, but don't know an easy way to post pics here.

Then, suddenly, The Curry Leaf moved to Carrigaline and the place in Douglas became Indian Moon, which had been on Georges Quay (are you still with me??). I thought it might just have been a name-change thing with the same staff and food so tried Indian Moon once. It was absolutely manky! No good Indian restaurant in Cork now, imo.

Whenever this notion that there is no good Indian in Cork comes out, i think Raj Gaylord has to be mentioned. Outside Cork city, but very very good in my opinion.

Plus, 5 quid for a naan? Maybe if it was some epic naan, and was city center rates to cover, but jeez.
