Konkan Indian Restaurant Clanbrassil Street

You'll walk past this narrow Clanbrassil Street spot dozens of times before realising what you're missing. The dining room feels like someone's front room - all warm lighting and closely packed tables - but the kitchen is turning out some of the most authentic Indian food in Dublin. The focus here is Konkan cuisine from India's western coast, which means proper fish curries that'll make you forget every bland tikka masala you've ever endured. The prawn koliwada arrives as a plate of golden, crispy perfection, while the sol kadhi (a pink, refreshing kokum drink) cuts through the richness beautifully. Don't bother asking them to tone down the spice - they know what they're doing, and your taste buds will thank you for trusting them.
