We ate dinner here yesterday and really liked this place. We both got an early bird special, which…read morewas a bargain at 19.99 euros. I ordered the mild vegetarian korma and my husband ordered the medium-spiced dhansak with prawns. We could also choose a few other items, and everything was delicious. The interior is attractive and lovely quiet music was playing, but it's a very small restaurant and several tables had been reserved. We arrived at about 5:15 p.m. (on a weekday) and several prospective customers were turned away afterwards, since there were no more free tables for awhile. There were two servers, of which one was unfriendly and one was *incredibly* friendly. Also, the women's restroom was very clean.

I need to eat gluten free, but there were lots of options. There was several different sauces available that represented several parts of India. I enjoyed the Lamb Buna Gosht. It was served in a small bowl. I had a starter as well. This was a chicken tikka. I got both of these items for 12.95 Euro. It came with a choice of naan, rice, or chips. It was an okay experience. I'm not sure if I would return, but it was convenient at the time.

It was pretty good Indian food, with a small menu but big servings. The paneer was really good--not too squeaky rubbery like what's found at some places. The chala wasn't as spicy as what I am used to, but still it was good takeout food. The naan was particularly tasty , so if you are choosing between the rice and the naan, go for the latter.

We wrapped up our tour along the Irish coast with our final nights in Dublin and decided to have…read moredinner at Pickle. It ended up being the best meal of our entire trip. We started with the Duck and Venison appetizer. The duck was incredibly tender with perfectly crisp skin, while the venison samosa had a crispy exterior, flavorful filling, and just the right amount of heat. For our mains, my wife ordered the Tandoori Chicken with basmati rice, and I had the Junglee Maans with Dilli Wala Butter Naan. The tandoori chicken was cooked perfectly, beautifully seasoned, and paired wonderfully with the fresh red onions, rice, and naan. The Junglee Maans was the standout dish of the night--tender, flavorful, and coated in a rich, spicy sauce that had me scraping my plate clean. The butter naan was the perfect companion for soaking up every bit of it. We finished with the Raspberry Sorbet, served with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and white chocolate sauce. It was light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to an incredible meal. From start to finish, every dish was outstanding. Pickle was easily our favorite restaurant of the trip, and it's the first place we'll return to the next time we're in Dublin.

A perfect ending to a very busy day!

Honestly, it was just an average experience--and I don't think I fall into their target audience…read more The food felt quite bland and not up to the mark. Service was slow throughout. It took around 20 minutes just to get the table cleared, another 10 minutes before someone came to take our order, and then about 25 minutes for the food to arrive--even though it wasn't a busy time. We ordered bhuna lamb, rice, and naan. The bhuna lamb was disappointing; instead of the expected rich, dark brown gravy, it tasted more like a butter chicken-style gravy. The naan was slightly hard and didn't seem properly cooked. Even the complimentary papad was stale and soft. The ambience was just okay, and the service... well, best not to say much. Overall: 3/5 (and that's being generous).

The tomato one was my favorite because it was sweet and a little spicy. We got the onion bhagi and it was nicely battered and elegantly presented with the chutney partially displayed. The lamb vindaloo was spicy with lots of peppers and the aloo kali barely had any cauliflower in it - both very saucy. I suggest getting rice because the dishes did not come with them. The service was quick and polite, they asked if we were ready for our mains before cleaning up our apps. The restaurant itself was beautiful decorated with nice wall fixtures and paintings.

This is my first visit to Ravi's Kitchen. Wow!…read more I eat a lot of Indian food, but the food and service was some of the best I have had. Tonight I had the lamb Roganjosh and the Okra. This meal was spot on, and the spicing was exceptional: there was a great balance of spice, heat, and flavour. The fat level was quite pleasant and there was beautiful use of green cardimom pod in the Roganjosh, and black cardimom pod in the Okra. The lamb was soft and flaked apart nicely under my fork without being dry. The service was quick, and polite, and I was able to walk in without a reservation. The place is spotless, clean, well furnished and has some extra touches in place including nice woodwork, and woven place mats and special cushions to sit on. Great experience. 5 stars!

For something like 13 euro, we each got an app, side, and main of usual portion size. Not only was the food a bargain, the quality was top notch. I started with the chicken tikka, which had just the right level of kick to it. I moved onto the prawns bhuna, which had me wanting to lick the plate clean. Since I'm not a big naan fan, I decided to go with a green salad as my side. It was alright. However, someone in my group decided to go with sweet naan, which may have changed my opinion on naan in general. Since we were all hungry, we didn't share much so I can't comment on the other options other than to say everyone cleaned their plates!
