Nothing beats a good curry, but I've always found that the standard can vary wildly from restaurant to restaurant wherever you are in the world.
With that in mind we've taken all the hard work out of it and given you the definitive list.
I'm focusing very much on Indian, Pakistani or Nepalese curries here rather than anything Thai. As always do let us know your feedback in the comments...
Super authentic Nepalese food right in the heart of the city. Some seriously spicy curries for those brave enough to try them!
8. Pickle
Slightly fancier version of the more traditional curry restaurant, with a focus on small plates, on Camden Street. Amazing fresh and modern flavours.
7. Kajal
Pakistani food in the heart of Malahide that always takes the breath away. Some wonderful veggie dishes as well as some super grilled meats. Their curries are to die for.
6. Massina
It was the most wonderful find and those in the know have been coming for years. No airs and graces around here, just really good well priced curries.
This place is takeaway only, but once you get it for the first time you'll be hooked for life. So small you could blink and miss the place, but absolutely unbelievable food.
2. Kinara
This is Pakistani food at its absolute best and you'll love their branches in both Ranelagh and Clontarf. Stunning curries, amazing service and a wonderful atmosphere. Bonus marks for the cocktails!
1. Rasam
All the way out in Glasthule, which makes this more of a neighbourhood restaurant, but true curry fans will know it's worth the journey out here. Unbelievable curry cooked and served by people at the very top of their game.

We’re in the final countdown. Yes, we have speculated whether this 20 year old trend is slowly dying, perhaps evident by the fact there aren’t more cafés whipping up pumpkin spice and everything nice on this list, but basic as it may be, it’s a celebration of autumn in my eyes, and I can’t help but […]

Dublin is glutted with literary magazines. They’re ten a penny; if today’s penny is actually €15 each. In 2017 Justine Carbery wrote in The Irish Independent “literary journals proved to be constant stars in a fluctuating market. Ireland, with its rich history of independent literary magazines, finds itself in rude health today with many new […]
From refreshing newbs to reliable classics Despite the increasingly adverse trading conditions for service in Dublin, we’ve never had such strong restaurant offerings. Not even at the peak of the Celtic Tiger did we have such a plethora of passionate food creatives doing bits and making waves. So to help you navigate the best of […]
(and Always) It’s never been more vital to support Queer-Owned Spaces in Dublin. Put your money where your morals are as often as you can. As someone who has worked in hospitality, I know that the people who run our bars, restaurants, and cafés shape the atmosphere more than the decor or the playlist ever […]
