Rhumsaa Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Vellikas is still the number 1 for me They serve a number of dishes not found in your "traditional [insert quilp approved descriptive here] restaurant" but when I was visiting southern India I found a number of dishes there and tried them and found them to be of a similar standard to Vellikas (for what that is worth as I am no expert) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s cancel the Grosvenor and go there instead. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramseyboi Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Indian restaurants up North for me lately are: 1 Saffron - Superb every one of the 6 times we went while they were open in groups of 2 to 18. 2 The one that used to be Jean Pierres. - service a bit curt, but food good and a bit different 3 Vellikas - only ever been average when I have been. All based on the last few weeks. I think Vellikas is down on how good it used to be. Rumour is Saffron was due to open again today after work permit issues. No idea if it has or not but I hope so as it was superb and shoprite next door for wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Thoughts on the best Indians in Doolish? A friend has ordered a couple of take-aways from Ghandi recently when I've been visiting. It's not offensive, but also nothing to write home about. The Street Kitchen on Prospect Hill is surprisingly good, but unfortunately only open for lunch.

Henderson and Glass are now there too and they’re a bit of alright. They care about their coffee and it shows. I had probably one of the best flat whites ever in there a couple of weeks ago. And a dirty chai that was to die for. Coffee all day and cocktails all night. It’s always packed and I think they are onto a winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
