    Been there for lunch with 2 beer options Tiger and Cobra which comes in 660ml bottle. Had Prawn gosht masala with coriander naan which was amazing and delicious. Vegetarian gobi masala with poori which was also delicious.

    Ordered on Deliveroo crown tandoori and a couple of platters. Omg, the food was just horrible! I love Indian food and spices, but this... we had to simply through away. Oh sorry, Cheese Naan (bread) was good :)

    Great restaurant with authentic food! I recently started working in the area and had my eye on this place, and today was the day I got to try it! They have a lunch menu which consists of a starter and a main, good value! The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. I had naan bread with my main, which was freshy made and delicious, though in retrospect I would have probably ordered an extra side of rice, as the spicy chicken felt a bit light on its own! All in all, a great option for lunch or a meal to share with friends!

    Very impressed with the range of Indian food. More meat heavy than expected but there are plenty vegetarian options. Service could be faster at times but the place was busy. Catered well to our large group.

    Staff were fabulous! Food was very good. Good advice on spiciness. Bathrooms were immaculate (always a good sign!). Could do with a bit of upgrading... Nice experience.

    This the worst restaurant I have ever visited, coming to the biryani, I felt like eating turmeric powder, jus with one spoon I decided to leave the place Immediately, this place is not at all worth for your money. Even if you tried to make biryani by watching YouTube , it might taste much better than here.

    We were passing, looking for somewhere to eat..it was busy but they got us a table. I have to say it’s one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten in an Indian restaurant. Short rib bhuna was epic as was the chilli chicken. Fabulous staff and service was amazing. Thank you

    Must try curries and rice(biryani). If want to try starter then is just waste of money. Just need to improve in starter but curries fabulous and if you ask for spicy food they will make it. Friendly staff and good service.

    "Indian Jewel in Prague is a hidden gem! The flavors are a delightful symphony, and the staff's warm hospitality truly shines. A taste of India that's a true delight!" 🌟😊 A must try in Prague😍

    Booked after a Ruby match so in fairness it was busy. Waited 40 minutes for a drink and on the second round forgot half the order. Starters was amazing and they got 3 of the 4 mains wrong. Ordered Prawns and got lamb, ordered butter chicken and got a Korma, ordered another lamb and still really not sure what it was. They offered a 10% discount which I thought an insult considering we didn't get the correct food. They confirmed that we were given the wrong tables food. Bill came down and then charged for food we didn't order. Not worth the amount of arguing and waiting around. Expensive dinner out that wasn't in any way worth it.

    Went for a corporate meal and it was extremely average. The portion size of the Lamb Balti was essentially a kids portion (3 or 4 tiny pieces of lamb) covered in a standard curry sauce. Tasty enough but Considering it’s 24€ I think it’s a bit of a rip off. The samosas are clearly very cheap, bought frozen in a box and whacked in a lukewarm fryer. I loved the naan bread I must say but 4.50€ for a naan is a bit heavy. The waiter was a nice chap and clearly tried his best. Fair play to him. All in all, I don’t think I will return and think the decor of the place inside is depressing. Time for someone who cares to start running the show there and rethink ripping people off before providing a better hard product.

    Curry was great, the staff was friendly and quick to adjust to our needs. We also loved the snacks before the main meals. However, the butter paneer was a total misunderstanding - extremely sugary which overpowered any other flavour in the dish, I felt sick after a few bites. Overall, to us it seemed that the place is a bit it too overpriced.

    If you are going to keep customers waiting for 1 hour 45 minutes before serving the main course, i suggest the manager learns most basic communication skills for this industry - an industry that deals with people, and takes money from people so should have a basic amount of respect for that fact that our money is being spent in your restaurant. They were busy, but thats not much of an excuse for this amount of time, having to repeatedly ask where our food was. After 1 hour I asked were the one onion bajhi was.....and after 1hr 30 I suggested to leave and they said they would get our food. The waiter was ok and offered us one beer to share between two of us. If i had been alone i would have walked out, but my friend was more relaxed. When we went up to pay the manager didnt even have the courtesy to acknowledge us, let alone apologise for the mistake. He just put the bill in front of us and took the card machine. Please learn to show respect to your customers, and have a human approach. Food itself is alright, not bad, bahjis are good, samosas are just out of the freezers, curries are alright. Best.

    Myself and my girlfriend have been coming here for years and it's consistently delicious and the team are very friendly. We will continue to come here when we feel like having some Indian food.

  • 4/5 FoxRock 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food at a reasonable price, really wonderful friendly and attentive staff. Would've rated 5 stars if not for the decor. The decor is old and outdated. Dark curtains that block out natural light, decaying floorboards, an awful dark green colour everywhere. The place could do with some renovations to make it a more comfortable place to dine, but all in all, the staff are fantastic and the food is wonderful. Recommend the lunch menu.

    Big no for the biryani. The rest of the food it's good but a bit pricey. We went there early for the early bird menu but they told us it was not available, even if it was mentioned on the website.

    Great food and service. Comfortable atmosphere. I had house special with rice and naan. Plenty of food reasonable price

  • 1/5 jatinder k. 1 year ago on Google
    Well most they don’t deserve even one star…has order curries but ordered more naan and they said chef has cleaned the kitchen so cant make more naans…spent 140€ on curries and rice…they have no idea how to make customers happy…don’t know why they have opened business…dont go there and also very bad customer service

  • 2/5 David N. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty basic place with pretty basic curries. Not sure of the normal standards of curry houses in Dublin, but this reminded me of UK curry houses from the 70's or 80's.

  • 5/5 Mary Jane G. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is absolutely amazing. Chicken Madras, Lamb Jalfrezi was melt in your mouth. Aloo chaat, onion baji sooo tasty.

  • 4/5 Ashly Elizabeth E. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a dine in there. Good ambience. The food was good too. Biriyani was tasty, but more oily.. Samosa was excellent.

    Lovely food. Met up with friends we hadn't seen in a long time due to COVID. Great place to meet and catch up.
