    With great recommendations, we went to try this restaurant and it really stood up to its expectations. Good food, generous with spices really. Tried their tasting menu and the plating was gorgeous. The portion were quite good. With Sarman's recommendation we tried the guineafowl off their menu for the first time and it didn't disappoint. What I liked the most about this place is that it is truly serving North Indian Cuisine staying true to their spices. We had a great experience overall. With a good interior, great staff and attention to detail this place is highly recommended to try out. 👍

    Authentic Indian food place. A bit expensive but good value for money. The slow cooked lamb was a revelation - tender, juicy and flavour rich. The starters - aloo tikki and prawns also had a good blend of spices and tasted amazing.

    I hate writing critical reviews because I appreciate that running the restaurants is tough. But, sometimes, like this afternoon at Darjeeling Express, it is too much for me to hold back! We were served by staff who left us feeling that we should be obliged that we were eating there. One can forgive a bit of nonchalance from people who are tired but something rather strange happened with the bill. We were presented with a bill with service charge scribbled across it in felt pen. The sum was wrong by a small amount, something that caught my eye. You can check the sum in the picture attached. When I pointed it out to the manager, instead of an apology, I got an ugly glare and argument that it was the right sum. The sum was not corrected and I did not want to create a scene. So, I paid. Either the service is discretionary or it is part of the printed receipt. Scribbling an arbitrary number across the bill and getting the addition wrong is unethical. As a teacher I know that everyone makes mistakes, but I also know that it is only the arrogant that get defiant in face of their mistake. And food with a side of nonchalant arrogance always tastes very bitter. Response to restaurant: The calculator showed that she had made a mistake but she did not correct the sum. When she didn't correct the sum, I paid the full amount because I didn't want to create a scene. This is not about money. It is about how you treat your guests. I don't think I have ever come across a restaurant defending something that is blatantly wrong. How can you defend a wrong calculation? The lack of an apology in the response baffles me. In any case, I rather let is rest here.

    The Pickle North Indian Regional Cuisine is definitely true to the Indian flavors and the food is really good. The service wasn’t always as the level, that it looks like they are aming for. Eg. we first had one waiter who asked for drinks. Then a few minutes later another waiter came and asked for drinks. We ordered both still and sparkling water, but then we only got still water. When we asked for sparkling again, it was only the person who was fine drinking still water that got sparkling water. Even though food was really good, the prices are way too high. I wasn’t blown away by the flavors, and you can easily find Indian cuisine for way less money.

    Highly recommend the food here. It felt authentic and was delicious. The menu is quite good. Always go to this restaurant with a reservation as it’s always quite busy. The staff is nice, they will arrange for a cake if you mention that it’s for a birthday/anniversary. I liked the butter chicken, dal bukhara and chole bhature. Would definitely try it again.

    Its the most popular restaurant in Dublin for Indian food. Even locals visit this place a lot. I have been traveling from last 4 weeks in Europe but I could not get proper Indian taste food so far. But this restaurant had finger licking amazing taste. The staff is very friendly and you will enjoy food with good conversations here. In my next trip to Dublin, I will must visit this place again!

    Amazing North Indian food. Loved the flavours, especially the paneer tikka, which carried spices from traditional Indian pickles. Service was great. Will try the Chole Bhature next time to see if it carries similarities to what we used to get in Delhi. Must visit if you like authentic Indian taste.

    Very famous, highly recommended and well-spoken about restaurant, always busy no matter when you go there. Food is nicely decorated and I love their starters and Thali - it is huge! Prawn curry is also one of my favourites. Only four stars though as I find the staff a bit rude, they also changed portion sizes and it is quite expensive.

    Love it! Not a big fan of indan cousin but this was amazing. We had the tasting menu which was interesting and lovely. Just make sure you are coming super hungry. Service was the best I had in Dublin so far. Natasha was doing above and beyond for us. Grate experience

    Amazing! I cannot fault Pickle. The food and service were both excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were advised how much rice/Naan to order and it was the perfect amount. We will definitely be visiting Pickle again. I would highly recommend this to anyone who's thinking about going.

    Walked in at 3pm on a saturday without reservation, I had no issues to find a table. I ordered Jhinga Dhaniwal with some Naan bread, it was good and mildly spiced. The portion worked for me but if you have a big stomach I would suggest ordering some rice with it. Good food but nothing memorable.

  • 5/5 Darren O. 4 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    The food is 10/10. Every time I'm here it always blows me away. the service is the perfect, there was so many staff all with right amount of attentiveness. The atmosphere is warm and homely and relaxed. We booked at the start of Sept for the start of Dec. and still couldn't get the time we wanted. For the meal it is it's very good value. I've had some very average hotel restaurant food at this price point. We'll be back again and again.

    It’s a fine place but you’d expect more. The food is mostly well thought: intriguing interpretations of familiar and original dishes. However, the execution of recipes is disappointing: some things are overcooked, others are simply average, and quality of ingredients remains unclear. In addition, on the level of ideas there are some questions too: noodles with ice cream are offered for dessert. Even though this might be what people in the region enjoy, it needs to be interestingly rethought to be served in a restaurant. The staff and atmosphere are very nice. Overall, a good place with important pitfalls.

    All dishes were very delicious. Fresh and high quality ingredients. The dessert tasted very exotic and was a good surprise. 😃 Nothing negative to pick out. Food: 5 stars Service of staff: 5 stars I am very happy that I went there. I was able to sense that the owner is minding every detail in high quality: service of staff, interior, cup design, food & dessert, cream and hand soap in toilets, etc.

    Great food, great service. Not much I can fault. I was there with a group of friends the other night. There were some great dishes. This is not a compliant cause both were OK, prawn crackers were an odd choice to serve, and my chicken breyani was a bit dry. It also has to be mentioned that the prices are on the high side.

    Over-hyped. The menu at my local Indian takeaway (which by coincidence is award-winning) is better. They said they were fully booked but when we arrived, the restaurant was two thirds empty. We didn't order after looking at the underwhelming menu and left.

    By watching the episode on Netflix it inspired me to go across the pond and eat at this restaurant. Asma Khan and her team deserve more than five stars. To get where she is emotionally despite set back it shows her wisdom and how smart she is. Thank you for agreeing to be in the Chef's Table program. You're inspirational. I hope to eat at your place soon.💗💞👍

    We ordered take away as a celebration for a big birthday during lockdown. The food was amazing, just as good as when we've eaten in the restaurant and delivered right on time. We would definitely order again and looking forward to another visit once it's safe to do so

    World class Northern Indian food in Dublin. My girlfriend and I tried the chef's menu and it was absolutely outstanding. Fantastic variety with the right amount of spice for an Irish audience. Staff couldn't have been nicer.

  • 2/5 Eunju L. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was alright in terms of taste but the portion was so small. Usually if you go to Indian restaurant, you pat your belly and feel very full after eating but this wasn’t. Not with that price! A lot of people recommended this place. Very excited to visit here but overall disappointing.. One of staffs was standing right behind us whole time and watching us. As soon as we finished the water or dropped cutlery, he came up right away. I felt really awkward. Couldn’t think anything but wanted to leave. Not again. There’re so many other better Indian restaurants.

    After eating in literally hundreds of Indian restaurants, this one was a great surprise. None of your standard dishes on the menu but left wishing I'd been able to try all of them, the ones I tried were incredible. Really friendly service too. If only it were nearer!

    Great food in Pickle last night. The 4 of us had the Xmas menu (€55) and it was a great selection of dishes. Staff were very good and customised the selection for our non lamb eater! They were a bit to keen to get us out at finishing up time though, which was a pity.

    If you go here you have to get the 5 course tasting menu. It is so good and you get SO much food! It's £75pp and definitely worth it. Every dish was incredible except for the desert, which just wasn't really my flavor profile but was still very well executed. My favorite dish here is the goat curry which is exceptional, a must have when coming here.

    A friend and I came here after watching the Chefs Table episode, and we were not alone. Even with reservations there was a queue out the door before it opened. We ordered far to much food but it was all really tasty! The staff was fantastic. I’ll definitely be coming back

    One of the best places to have delicious Indian food in Dublin. Being a Michelin star restaurant the prices are a little dearer, but we chose a €25 deal which included a starter and a main course. The chicken served was well marinated and had a great taste. The chat was bit spicier than usual, and would not recommend to someone who cannot tolerate spices. We were unable to finish the food so they did pack it for us for takeaway.

    Very high quality Indian grub. All of the usuals as well as plenty of dishes you wouldn’t be used to in Dublin. Had the Chaat Ki Rehdi as a starter between two. It’s 4 different Indian street foods, and it’s as much an experience as it is a meal 🥘

    Love this restaurant! Recently tried out for the first time and was so happy with every aspect. The menu is great, everything is clearly explained, great selection of different meats, options for vegetarian and vegan meals on the main menu. The food was amazing, so many different flavours and everything tasted like high quality ingredients and well made. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The prices feel reasonable for the amount of food and the quality of the meal and setting. Would definitely recommend trying here!

    Absolutely delicious food! Really enjoyed the ambience and the place! Highly recommended! The perfect balance of spice and flavours! Perfect place for friends/couples. The chicken and lamb are the only meat that's halal. Overall a good experience. Just a note - would be best for the servers to be wary of the utensils they don't provide as we were left with a few curries without a spoon to serve out of. Would revisit!

    Found this place because we liked the name when we saw it on maps and then saw the amazing reviews. Best food we’ve had in Dublin and best Indian food! We were so pleasantly surprised. Everything was so flavorful and delicious and the service fantastic. We will be back in September and this will be at the top of our list!

  • 4/5 Rahul A. 4 years ago on Google
    Being vegetarian this place offered us very good options. Unlike many other so called Indian restaurants and take aways, they offered a bit more authentic taste. Only downside is that all the quality and taste came with a bit high prices. Taste - very good Quality - top notch Quantity - not bad Service - top Price - a bit high

  • 4/5 Magdalena S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Alisha G. 4 years ago on Google
    Food speaks for itself, the location and service is commendable. You need to prebook before you visit to this place for a luncheon or a dinner. However, a lovely place to enjoy nearly authentic north Indian delicacies in Dublin.

  • 5/5 Jeff S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is in my top 3 Indian restaurants across America, Europe, and Asia! Fully authentic flavor and I love the fact that it comes out with a great level of heat. Typically in the US we have to ask for hot, but not here! Try the Tandoori Chicken and the Goat!

  • 3/5 Malcolm W. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely venue and some really tasty Indian dishes. The only thing is the like for four prawns it was €16:50 four quid a prawn and 50c for colour of flavoured sauces. I don’t know, but anyway. I used to love the Indian that was in that building about 8-10 years ago. That was beautiful and very fair priced. But I think they left because of the financial crisis and not as many dinned out. No where near enough food for that price when your rice and bread are on a separate page and are charged separately as well. Good luck anyway your busy most times but will you be a one flash or disappear when people have tasted better elsewhere. Food good- price doesn’t make sense and staff are let’s say ok.

  • 5/5 Chandan V. 4 years ago on Google
    We’ve visited the place a few times and every time the place has something to surprise us! The menu includes ample options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. The ambience is just perfect for an evening with your loved ones and the staff are really friendly and goes extra mile in helping you understand your options (especially if you’re trying Indian food for the first time). The food is just delicious. And I think, Pickle is, undoubtedly, one of the best Indian restaurants in Dublin.

    Amazing food and overall experience! This restaurant is truly a gem. Each dish is inspired and extremely flavorful. Definitely the best Indian food I have ever had. We got lucky and showed up without a reservation and there was space, but we overheard several others being told that reservations are often filling up 3 weeks in advance so be sure to reserve if you are wanting to go! Can’t wait to go back and try out more dishes :)

  • 1/5 Natalia C. 4 years ago on Google
    Few months ago I made a reservation for 4 ppl for 8 of August. I invited friends - they are coming over from abroad. And I am so disappointed as I have just received an email with information that it's been cancelled due to the private event planned for that day. I'm sorry, but this is not how it should have been done. Given the capacity of the restaurant I wouldn't expect it's a problem to call everyone who booked on that day to say sorry and offer alternative day instead. Noone called to apologize, automatic email was send and I am left without a table. That's not how it should have been done! :( Replying - I feel betrayed as a customer, I don't understand why the booking on that day was available few month ago if it was already known that whole place is booked? It's not that easy to book the table for 4 and because of guests coming I was also limited to this. day Booking date proposal from you on 29th September doesn't work for us unfortunately and I was not offered any other alternative closer to the day I originally booked.. I'm not rating one star ever, but this is very unprofessional and upsetting. Maybe it will raise more attention to customer service which apparently is to be worked on.. :( I'm really disappointed and that's the reason of one star.

    Located on the third floor of Kingly Court, Darjeeling Express offers a cozy and tucked away not so secret indian restaurant. Best advised to book in advance but on weeknights you can walk in at opening time provided you are a couple. Good lighting and ambiance, plenty of fresh trailing plants to create mood. Most of the lights are a soft spheres that arent too harsh. Tables are pretty packed so go early rather than late, on a week night. Good cultural music that isnt too loud, water is offered on the table as well as a menu range of Indian non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. The Sula wine is good! They also offer cocktails, lassis, thums up, etc. Wine is by the glass or by the bottle. The starter has a sweet tamarind dipping sauce whereas the look like the indian answer to chicken poppers (without the meat). The exterior is crunchy with red onions , the inside is soft and mild but not doughy. The green chili sauce that comes with the starter is extremely fiery and hot. The starter on it's own is dry but with the sauce it is good and pairs well. This starter reminds me of the crispy fried onions you get on sushi The brown rice is extremely fresh and well cooked and has wild rice mixed in. Puris extremely nice, not undercooked! Paneer curry not too spicy and very creamy. Also not too oily or fatty.

    Probably the best Indian food I have ever tasted. Service was good, but we had to wait quite long between starters and mains.

    You’re better off going to ‘Little Kolkata’ if you want to experience traditionally Kolkata Bengali food. Avoid Darjeeling express waste of time and money it is overhyped in my opinion.

    I finally managed to go there. As many, I came to know that place by watching Netflix documentary. Went here for lunch on Friday. Place was full but not packed. Casual vibes and nice opened kitchen Food wise we had : Starters Puchkas: quite nice and extremely light Beetroot chop: could be considered as spicy but good for my taste. Like the dipping sauce. Main: Prawns Malakari: probably my favourite dish. Liked the finest of this dish. Perfectly seasoned with the right amount of coconut flavour. Side: Mirchi Ka Salaan: if you don’t like spicy don’t go for that one. It’s well done dish. Nothing outstanding Puris: very fluffy and hot. Nice ! Overall experience is great. Like the place and the way the dishes are served. Thumbs up to the cooks as the dishes are very fine and light but high in flavours. From my point of view I could argue on the price range and could easily see the same at slight lower price but I understand the reputation and location. Would come back to try other dishes !

    We were looking forward to our reservation here for a few months! We had a delicious lunch and absolutely loved the vegan options - I ended up trying a few things I’d never had before which was great. The zucchini fritters dipping sauces were a great shared starter- I highly recommend the Kala Channa (black chickpeas) they were DELICIOUS. It’s a very busy restaurant but service was super quick - I loved the all female staffed kitchen. It took us a minute to find the restaurant but it’s located on the top floor in a food/bar courtyard - with lots of options for spots to hang out.

  • 5/5 Umar Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Modern Asian fusion cuisine. Very tasty, it's a whole evening out. The service is attentive and the staff are lovely. A very nice experience. I wouldn't say it was suitable for young children however. It's pretty cosy and very adult too.

    (Translated by Google) Highly Recommended. There are few places for walk-in customers. Here you have to be lucky or just in time for opening. (Original) Absolut empfehlenswert. Es gibt wenige Plätze für Laufkundschaft. Hier muss man allerdings pünktlich zur Öffnung da sein odee Glück haben.

    This was one of the best dining experiences I've had to date. Flawless. Everything from the heartfelt and genuinely warm service, to the outstanding dishes was perfect. The timing was perfect. The portions, perfect. When we were ordering, on two different occasions two different staff memebers made suggestions that we replace an option with their recommendations. I'm so greatful to both of them, as both suggested dishes turned out to be the best we had. 10+/10

  • 2/5 Natalie W. 4 years ago on Google
    Wastw of money and time. Servive was appauling and food was far too expensive for the portions. Completely overrated.

  • 4/5 Adelina R. 4 years ago on Google
    While I did like this place, our dinner was not one of the best Indian meals I had in London (comparing with similar Indian-fusion establishments). The portions were on the smaller size and the taste was alright, although it lacked that 'something' to make me recommend this place. Another thing that we didn't like was the strong smells coming from the kitchen. I don't mind an open kitchen and I even ask for counter tables in places where I can see chefs at work, but most of the times places like these have strong exhaust fans that stop us from smelling like food for the rest of the evening (Maybe the the exhaust fans couldn't handle the smell on that evening).

  • 5/5 Robyn Amy F. 4 years ago on Google
    Restaurant was super cosy and welcoming, staff were brilliant! Indian wine was like something I have never tasted before and went very well with the meal. The aubergine, the goat and the paneer curry were a few we tried, each one exquisite. Highly recommend the goat! Beetroot chop side was also delicious. Highly recommended, book well in advance.

  • 5/5 J B. 4 years ago on Google
    Authentic Bengali food with good work ethics but impossible to book a table

  • 3/5 A J. 4 years ago on Google
    Everything you've read about the staff is true, they were all truly fantastic and deserve a raise! At this restaurant there were moments of absolute food bliss and moments of mediocrity and for an establishment with this many awards every dish should have blown me away and they didn't. Now let me start with the moments of bliss, The Puchkas were like tiny delicate cauldrons of flavour, light & filled with chickpeas and potatoe, finshed off with tamarind water, an absolute delight for you mouth. Next the Bihari Phulki, Lentil fritters, crispy with the right balance of spices and heat, topped off with two deliscious sauces one hot and one sweet, a perfect accompaniment. For my main, I had the Jeera Paneer, which was creamy with a light tomatoe and cumin touch that had me licking my fingers and calling for more puris so I could finish off the remaining sauce. Now for the mediocre, the Goat Kosha Mangsho left me distinctly underwhelmed, the meat was tender, but that was about all it had going for it, it was bland and lacking in any real flavour. The dhal was so mundanely average that I can barely bring myslef to write about it. The Kala Channa, which I was really looking forward to, again lacked any real depth of flavour and had me wondering where the ginger was, because all I could taste were the chillies. Overall I feel like I've had better curries and for a fraction of the cost in many of the establishments in Tooting. For all its awards and the expense, each dish should have led me on a culinary journey my mouth would not forget, sadly many of the dishes will soon be forgotten.

  • 5/5 Mishal J. 4 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is small, charming and has really great food. The puris were amazing (I should have ordered two portions) and the curries were very tasty. We ordered the paneer and chicken thighs in tomato, both of which I'd recommend. The chicken was so tender. I loved the channa chaat and prawn starter. I ordered the steamed yogurt dessert, which was unlike anything I've had before. They also have amazingly spicy masala chai. The service that night was very friendly and food arrived quickly. Unfortunately, our potato side dish was forgotten and when I tried to get someone's attention to follow up I couldn't catch anyone's eye for five minutes so I gave up. I think the problem was that it was too loud for my "excuse me's" to be heard and being in the corner means you're overlooked. Didn't seem deliberate at all, but just something to note. I want to go back and order from the rest of menu - so much so that I immediately made another booking. It's a very long wait until the next dinner booking. I'd recommend trying to go in a group of 3 or 4 so you can taste more dishes.

    The food was excellent with many dishes I haven’t tried before. The service, however, was really lacking hospitality. The waiters didn’t seem engaged and we often had to wait a while before they noticed that we need something.

    Food there is amazing..so delicious..I had fish curry with garlic nan. Staff were very nice and friendly..when the bill came the waitress informed us that a 10% service charges were already included which was nice from her. It could be a bit pricey. I like going there to my special celebration. going there again hopefully soon in my birthday 😍

  • 5/5 Varun B. 3 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is on-point with everything. It felt like eating at some home restaurant. Have tried many restaurants in Dublin but non of them comes close enough to Pickle in Taste and Authenticity. Would recommend this place to anyone who is fond of Indian food and would want close to Indian Experience when it comes to taste. I am looking forward for future visit and would love inclusion of more Indian dishes in their menu.

  • 3/5 Kevin C. 3 years ago on Google
    I've eaten in at Pickle pre-lockdown and the food was fantastic. I ordered take-away for New Years Eve and it was disappointing, particularly since they are continuing to charge pretty much full restaurant prices. For that cost, I would have expected at the very least some decent packaging but everything was sent in plastic containers - even a cremeux dessert which was impossible to get out of the container without breaking. Definitely recommend for eat-in but any half decent takeaway is comparable for take-out.

    Best North Indian in Dublin without a doubt!!! My partner had booked this restaurant for my birthday and we were not disappointed, the food and flavours were truly amazing. Despite being late, staff were so welcoming and as a sweet gesture they had remembered the dinner was booked for a birthday meal and had put a candle in the Gulab Jamun we had for dessert! It's the little things that make it extra special! Brilliant service and food is the best combo, highly recommend!!!

  • 4/5 Adithya H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and service. Danny, who was our server for the evening was extremely professional and helped us with our order. Vegetarian Thali and Benarasi Paneer were simply delicious. However, the person who took our bill in the end was a bit rude, which kinda hampered the overall experience. Would definitely recommend Pickle to anyone looking for quality Indian food in Dublin.

    Our experience at Pickle was great, thanks to our wonderful server Sharman. We ordered what he recommended and they were all great. The dishes, ingredients were fully explained and we would taste it while we took the bite. We like the fact that the dishes were prepared with wonderful spices unlike other restaurants than tone down for irish palette. They were a bit on a spicy side but being a south asian, we loved it. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    I would like to thank all the staff including the restaurant manager for the great service. The portion size is good, and dishes are really delicious. When they realised my sensitivity towards spicy food, they did their best to help proactively. I really appreciate the attitude! the waitress and waiter gave great suggestions, we followed them and were happy at the end. We will be back again :)

  • 2/5 Wuraola 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was very nice but the food was not the best. The restaurant was packed full we couldn’t get in without a reservation and had to go back another day after reserving and expectation was really high. We were disappointed as the food was not up to par. It tasted like bland without spices and it definitely wasn’t worth the price. Couldn’t even get dessert as we were too dissatisfied with the starter and main. Been to lots of Indian restaurant and this is the first time I wouldn’t finish my food.

  • 5/5 Anushri G. 4 months ago on Google
    We recently dined at this Indian restaurant and once again, it didn't disappoint. The vegetarian thali was not only delicious but also had a generous quantity—enough for two. Despite the slightly higher prices, it's worth the culinary experience. We've been regulars, and the consistency in quality keeps us coming back. The kulfi faluda from the dessert menu was a delightful end to the meal. Booking in advance is advisable, given its popularity. Highly recommended overall.
