    Excellent little canteen-style restaurant at the back of the dublin mosque on south circular road. Inexpensive and delicious meals, a boisterous clientele, and very warm welcoming staff. We had the half grilled chicken, chana masala, palak paneer and some naans. Between two, we had more than enough, with some leftovers. The mild spicy options packs a decent chilli punch so suggest going mild for the first timer! Come before 8. Especially on a Friday.

    We ordered through a third party app and we received the food very quickly. When we got the food, it was still piping hot and as soon as we opened the boxes, mouthwatering aromas filled our kitchen. Excellent food in terms of looks and flavours. The biryani I was served with was very vibrant and loaded with tastiness. Based on this experience alone, Al Khair has firmly established itself as one of my favourite Indian restaurants in Dublin.

    Very nice food, so fresh and tasty. A hidden gem we have found.....Each meal cooked to how we wanted it (mild, medium, spicy). The service was very attentive. To the family next to us having their meal, your kindness helps make the world a better place 👍. Looking forward to dining in when possible 😎

    I recently visited this restaurant located within the Dublin Mosque. First and foremost, I tried the Haleem, a popular dish in Muslim cuisine. While it was good, I must admit that I have tasted better versions of Haleem elsewhere. The flavors were decent, but it lacked that extra depth and richness that makes a Haleem truly exceptional. Next, I opted for the Lamb Biryani. Although it was decent, I felt that it didn't quite live up to its price. The portion size was reasonable, but the flavors didn't leave a lasting impression. While it satisfied my craving for Biryani, I've had more flavorful and aromatic variations at other restaurants for a similar price. On a positive note, the Samosas at this restaurant were a highlight. They were well-spiced and had a delightful crunch. Each bite was packed with a savory filling, and I found them to be one of the highlights of my meal. I would definitely recommend trying them if you visit. Lastly, I decided to end my meal with a cup of Masala Tea. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. While it was okay, it lacked the boldness and balanced blend of spices that I typically associate with a good Masala Tea. It felt a bit watered down and didn't provide that comforting warmth and aromatic experience I was hoping for. As for the ambiance, being situated within a mosque added a unique touch to the dining experience. The atmosphere was calm and serene, which made it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal. The restaurant itself was small and cozy, contributing to a more intimate setting. Regarding the service, the staff was polite and attentive. They promptly took my order and ensured that I had everything I needed. However, the service could have been more proactive and engaging, as I felt it lacked a personal touch.

    Biryani done right in Dublin. 🍲 Ordered Hyderabadi and Karachi biryani. Overall both were good. Smells great, were perfectly cooked. As long as you keep the taste and aaroma of Biryani I will keep reordering.

    This place offers really good Arabic dishes. We got to experience the food twice and both were splendid. The rice and chicken were well cooked, the gravy was mild and not too spicy. We finished of with Eclair and Chocolate Cake for dessert.

    Amazing hindustani food at a reasonable price with a very friendly staff. I have been three times so far and the quality of the food was consistent. It is clear to me that they are driven by their passion.

    Really tasty, authentic experience. Fairly priced too. The setting is very clean and it'd be ideal for a family or if you needed to eat quickly. The food was delicious and served promptly. The staff were super friendly and helpful too. I'd definitely come for dinner again !
