Indian

Maloti
Taste of India


Coming from that part of the world where Indian chilli, spices and what not are raging in your blood from birth, I have to say finding an 'authentic' Indian in Ireland has proven to be difficult. Having said that I haven't tried that many.

Went to Maloti's for Niall's welcome home dinner and for all it's superflous embellishments and haute cuisine flourishes, it lacked authenticity. Seemed like they just boil the chicken, dunk it in a mild curry and viola! Not so Viola though.

L, C and I did however go to Taste of India, which fared better and was cheaper and recently when I was working on Baggot St I found a gem: Tulsi right next door to where I worked. 3 Course Lunch men for €10-€12 was a bargain and the closest thing I've found to real indian food. The restaurant is run by Bangladeshis though. Go figure
