I went to 3 leaves for a Saturday afternoon lunch date. We were given a wait time of 15 minutes. The wait was not too bad. The lady who booked our table was very sweet and kind. We shared one plate of samosa Chaat and one of Chicken Biryani. I found the samosa Chaat quite spicy but my date said he enjoyed it. Both of us devoured the chicken biryani. 10 stars to 3 leaves Blackrock. Highly recommend this restaurant for some authentic Indian dishes.

It's the best Indian food you can have in Ireland I guess. The cooking is totally different from any other place, including the big names. We had the non-veg platter, which was excellent. The best part was that the cooking was home-like, and a great balance of spices. Unlike other places where you can taste they put the meat in a template sauce, each of the curries tastes as they should (very different) and vibrant. They offered the Malabar Porota, which was a great decision to have. The chilichicken with the Malabar Porota was the absolute hit for me. The beef roast with Malabar Porota is excellent. I've never had such kind of beef before. I liked the cooking was light just and on the mild side, exactly the way I would like. Two things, the potato fries, they were less crispy than they should have been (probably they were sitting for a while). But they were very good. I liked the dal very much, but the garlic was slightly overpowering. It's still just nitpicking, as my main reference is Bengali food. Anyway each of these I enjoyed a lot. This is probably the only restaurant which passed my rule: if a restaurant can get their rice, dal or any other basic thing perfect, it's highly likely a very good place who understands the importance of good food. I'd return for the next set of menu, or to eat their chicken curry and rice soon. It would be great to have something Bengali on the menu in the near future.

If ever there was a restaurant which does not need another endorsement, it's 3 Leaves. The food is truly delicious, the menu full of dishes you won't find in any other Indian restaurant, and the front of house team very talented. Don't let the lack of reservations at lunch put you off. The owner has a gift for estimating when your table will be free: she'll take your phone number and reliably give you a call. In 10+ visits, we've never had to wait for than 30 minutes. Once in, the food arrives quickly because the great value for money at 3 Leaves depends on high table turnover. The thali taster platters available for weekday lunches are a brilliant intro to 3 Leaves, while the a la carte at weekends is a showcase for how talented and inventive the chef's team is. If you don't like spicy food, mention that when ordering as the menu doesn't always highlight what's hot.

Amazing food, it really was so good, every single bite of it. The host, Millie, is a lovely, welcoming and funny person who really makes you feel like a special guest. Couldn't recommend 3 Leaves highly enough.

Real local gem, does authentic and varied South Indian cuisine better than anywhere in the city. Menu varies weekend to weekday with a nice rotation of dishes. Staff are genuine, thoughtful and kind.

The food was very tasty and vibrant with many salty, sweet, savoury and spicy flavours. The portions for some dishes are a bit small for the price. Also indoor seating is a little cramped due to the size of the restaurant. Outdoor seating is also available. It was a bit hard to grab the attention of the waiters.

Amazing place, the food is incredible and the place is so cosy, I go to there recommended from my sister in law because is her favourite curry restaurant and it has become my favourite Indian food restaurant too.
