    Paid 18 euro for Chicken Bryani. Hard to find chicken in rice. Worst taste every. Only rice you will get in 18 euro. Prices are extremely high for poor quality food. Never go here

    Based on items I've tried here, think Chicken Mandi and Hyderabadi Biryani used to be the two highlights, though not very authentic atleast quite close due to suitable spices. Decent portion size. Only cash is accepted always, never any other modes of payment. Not sure if receipts are even given here. Customer service has degraded over the years, not really convincing in terms of hygiene.

    For a 17€ Biryani - we got only rice and hardly 2 pieces of chicken!!! This is ludicrous! The below picture I took of chaska fries - floating in oil !!!! So bad quality for the price we paid. Never coming back here. Absolute rip off!

    One of the best Hyderabadi biriyani's is served here. Lamb biriyani and Mandi are one of the common favourites. This place only accepts cash.

    Had bought their Full Mandhi twice and it was great and heavy both the times. The rice was a bit dry but combining it with the gravy solved that problem. The chicken was huge and soft! It's a must try for some Indians who miss their Indian Arabic cuisine!

    A very generous serving on their chicken on white rice, that came with fries and a side salad. A relaxed atmosphere at 5pm, and an enjoyable loudly place at 8, 9pm. No waiters, but the gentlemen on till are willingful to explain, so you can order what you really want, aside of the menu on monitors. Some times, they make the courtesy to bring your order to the table. Clean floor and tables.

    One of my top go-to place if I’m craving for rice. I definitely have a thing for their Mandy Rice, and half chicken, a good price for the portion. Tried their chicken burger, a little bit dry. And had their quarter pounder once, and it was good as well. They also have other choice of Hyderabad dish that’s worth trying. The place can be quite pack at times but the service is quick.

    This place is famous for non veg biryani, but the food here other than biryani is equally amazing. Big note for those trying this place is: it only accepts cash, no card. There’s an atm near this restaurant.

    A disappointing twist: Hyderabad lamb Biryani at Istanbel kebab house. I recently had the opportunity to visit Istanbul Kebab House, drawn in by the promise of their Hyderabadi Biryani. As a lover of authentic Indian cuisine, I was excited to sample their take on this classic dish. However, my experience left much to be desired, especially considering the steep price of 19.0 euros. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a take away style ambiance but not a classy one. Yet, the ambiance is good and welcoming. The staff seemed friendly and attentive, which initially gave me hope for a memorable dining experience. After placing my order for the Hyderabad Mutton Biryani, I eagerly awaited its arrival. When the dish finally arrived at my table, I was immediately taken aback by what I smelled. The biryani is packed with aromatic spices typically associated with Hyderabad biryani. The presentation was done well with the vibrant colours, coriander. The portion size, however, was quite generous, but unfortunately, quantity alone cannot redeem a dish. As I took my first bite. I was disappointed to find that the flavors were nowhere near what I expected from an authentic Hyderabad Biryani. The rice lacked the fragrant blend of spices that usually permeate each grain, and the meat was tough and overcooked, devoid of any tenderness. The absence of traditional Hyderabad biryani ingredients such as saffron, and fried onions further detracted from the overall taste. The absence of authentic flavors was disappointing, particularly considering the significant price tag attached to this dish. Moreover, the service was a bit lacking in attention to detail. It took a considerable amount of time for the food to be served, and the staff seemed preoccupied with other matters and they failed to serve to you table. While the atmosphere was pleasant, it did not compensate for the lackluster food and service.

    1. Their card machines never work. Be ready with cash always. 2. Although they sell Indian dishes but looks like they don't have even a basic idea of what Indian dishes taste like, specially the meat dishes. Even after requesting for spicy dishes, we were served nearly bland and sugary dishes. Butter chicken originally is sweet and spicy and not sugary and bland. Really awkward taste it was - can't express in words. The other dish we ordered was sweet as well. I don't know which kind of the cuisine was served to us. Totally Worthless for me.

    Istanbel Kebab in Dublin is a hidden gem. Their succulent, well-seasoned kebabs are a delight. The menu offers diverse options, catering to various tastes. The service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. The biyani here is amazing. Don't miss their baklava for a sweet ending! A must-visit for kebab enthusiasts.

    Saw this place on a corner while visiting ireland for the first time so i stopped in on an impulse and got a cheeseburger. The guy working was incredibly friendly, struck up a decently long conversation, and gave me recommendations on what to visit while im here. The burger itself was only 6€ and tasted great. The meat was very tender, lots of sauce and topping, and the bun was very soft too. It kinda fell apart in my hands since everything was so soft/tender, but still tasted great. I highly recommend this spot if youre looking for simple cheap food while visiting Dublin.

    Not the best experience after reading a number of recommended reviews and looking forward to trying out a kebab in Ireland.. I got the mixed (donner and chicken) kebab with chips. Portion size was OK but the meal was pretty bland, kebab was too thick and lacked flavour. chicken lacked flavour, chips were OK. The most disappointing thing was the garlic and chilli sauce which has almost zero flavour. Maybe this is how kebab has been adapted to Irish taste and people enjoy it but coming from Sweden this wouldn't last long there!

    I had a horrible experience with this restaurant. I ordered two biryani. When I come back home I found a wrong order. When I called them, they were not willing to make up for their mistake. Even after sending them a picture of the wrong order they told me that they don’t offer delivery option even though I delivered from them before. They also insisted on paying for a new delivery instead of refunding me or correcting their mistake. Really bad customer service.

    A very good place for Indian food. The Biryani was good, reasonable quantity for the price, but I wouldn't go for it again. The paneer was really good with a perfect amount of spice and good chunks too. Can't resist commenting about the Roti. It was EXCEPTIONAL! They make the Rotis freshly- right in front of you. The shape and texture is just perfect; it's a visual treat to see them bubble up to a perfect balloon in the oven. Would go to this place just for their Rotis.

    I was a bit dissapointed to be honest. I had heard good things and decided to give it a try. I went for a mixed kebab served on a plate. It wasn't great and my chicken was cold. I won't be back any time soon.

    A Turkish restaurant dishing out proper Indian food! The prices are nominal, and the quantity is good! Chicken balti is out of this world. This place has been gaining popularity through word of mouth. Highly recommended for takeaway.

    Best biryani ever you get in Dublin. Suitable for take away. Crowds at times make you uncomfortable to dine in with their only 2 tables and 5 chairs. Apart from Staff and Ambience. The food was really amazing. Rating is only for food.

    Nice food, friendly staffs and keep surroundings clean and hygienic. I ordered an Istanbul mix meal it was an awesome taste and quantity.

  • 3/5 Osman S. 11 months ago on Google
    The taste was fresh and flavorful. The prices were at higher end. For that price I would expect a more cleaner environment and proper cutlery. The food is served in takeaway box which wasn’t very healthy. I could taste the plastic from low grade box container at last part of biryani. The ceiling and lights also need redoing and sitting area. Chicken biryani was special one. The name of the place sounds like a Turkish restaurant but food is more towards Pakistani and Indian. The spice level can be as per requirement and upgraded to extreme hot.
