We were searching for some food in Cork, and came across Malay Kitchen. I wasn't super excited…read moreabout the prospect, but Mom was interested, so I went with it. They have reasonably priced food at €8-9. Bonus that it's MSG-free. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, which was a HUGE portion! It was very saucy which I like, but the flavor was just okay. The noodles were a bit overcooked in my opinion. The counters were quite sticky and needed to be wiped down. There were also discarded dishes from previous patrons that hadn't been cleared. We were the only customers when we arrived and for the ~35 minutes we were there, so it wasn't like they were busy. Aside from the counter area, there is another adjacent room with a couch and table seating. That was cute! Overall, the cost and portion sizes were good, but it was just okay in terms of flavor. Cleanliness definitely needs to be improved.

We ordered inside and waited only 10 or so minutes for the order. With COVID there is no inside seating, so we took it away with us. But they must get many call in orders as the owner ran out to a car at the curb to deliver a bag. We ordered 2 different samplers-the meat grill and the starter sampler. It was superb!! The meat samosa and the veggie samosa were yummy. The tandoori meats were brilliantly seasoned. The sausage was so good and I don't even know what it was. You have to give them a try. The prices are super reasonable, and they feature some lunch specials that sound perfect for an afternoon.

Definitely worth a visit! It is certainly up there as one of the best Indian restaurants I have…read moredined at outside of India. My family and I visited this elegant Indian restaurant in the heart of Cork city over the Christmas break. For starters, we ordered an Assorted Indian snacks. This was scrumptious to say the least. In the mains, we got a Chicken Biryani, two Bombay Aloo's, a garlic naan, and a cheese & onion naan. Since my partner and I are vegetarian, we chose the Bombay Aloo. This was one of several vegetarian options they had on their menu. We quite liked that they had vegan options as well. The food and service were impeccable. Being of an Indian background, I must say that the quality of their food and the balance of their spices was quite remarkable.

My favorite item was the Salt and Pepper Wings.

Compared to some of the spots we have here in NJ/NY this place wouldn't even hold up in terms of portions and price. So with that disclaimer I'd like to say this cafe is cute and nice spot along the quay with enough street parking spots. In terms of taste the sambar isn't so fresh but their coconut chutney was amazing!!! The dosa wasn't as crispy or as large as I'd like but i guess not bad. Their samosa chat was very yummy - would certainly recommend that! Overall if you're vegetarian craving a hot meal or just someone looking to try new cuisines this spot is certainly for you.

I highly recommend the lemonade - with salt or a mango lassie if you need the dairy. You have to try a couple of the dishes from the menu - a mix is the only way to go. It's perfect for a meal where everyone is at different hunger levels. There's a dish that suits everyone. One of the best places to eat well in Cork. Hands down.

Upon arriving in Cork, my wife decided to take a nap. To kill time and to acclimate myself with the…read morecity, I took a walking tour around the city center. Along the way I had the ubiquitous Guinness, bought some books (both a short history of Ireland as well as a history of the Seattle Mariners, of all things), checked out Oliver Plunkett Street (presumably not related to Jim), and noted the prevalence of shopping opportunities. I did not take a good roll call for restaurants, so when it came time for dinner, we had to essentially start from scratch. There were fast food restaurants. There were pubs. But we had tired of the latter, and not willing to stoop to the former, so we found ourselves searching a little bit. Finally we found ourselves at Ting Sing, which would be our second Asian excursion in a week (the other being a Thai restaurant in Dublin, which didn't go so well). Happy to say that this choice was considerably more productive. Yes, it was a bit humid, and the restaurant was obviously pressed to make its patrons (and employees) comfortable. And there was a group of women who didn't seem to realize that yes, they were in a restaurant, and not everybody appreciates it when they block aisles so that they can gossip. But the food was damn delicious - I don't care if it's 'authentic' or not (side note: That has to be the lamest comment made on Yelp - or elsewhere - as long as it's good, I really don't care if it qualifies as authentic). I ordered red chicken curry, which filled me belly as well as I could've wanted, and washed it down with a Wicklow Wolf, yet another offering I need to look up in the states. So, by and large, Tung Sing is a pretty decent option in Ireland's second largest city.
