It was an awful rainy night and mabe this was the reason the restaurant was so quiet which was a pity. The music was authentic which I really liked and decor was the same. The waiter was very friendly and service was excellent. Food was piping hot and served very quickly. House wine was very reasonably priced and went down well. Starters and mains were delicious and served on piping hot plates. Two starters, two mains and a bottle of house wine €56 which is excellent. Will definitely pay a visit again. Please visit this lovely little restaurant!

We were in early so the place was empty, but guests soon started to filter in. I had the lamb madras with lemon grass rice (which had been suggested by a friend) and that was superb. Only negative issue is that only small bottled beer available and I like pints with my curry! Will be back nonetheless!

We'd been before to one of Dun Laohgahaire's best kept secrets and taken local and overseas guests. Again we were not disappointed.The qualitity of the food is simply the best Indian you can possibly find in Ireland. All ingredients freshly prepared and the waiters cheerful and helpful. From the usual sambal and dips to the starters and mains, freshness, hygiene and customer attention highlight this gem.The servings are always very generous and the meat dishes from fish to chicken is so tender and the sauces are so fresh and tasty you just must leave completely satisfied (even with the sensible prices). For San valentines they made a special dessert:a mango mousse.It was so exceptional we tried to obtain the recipe. No luck! The mixed sizzling grill is my favouite.Our Valentine's guests were enviuos but astounded by their orders. We'll go back again and again. It's enchanting in a world where Indian restaurants can be a dime a dozen.

Yet another delicious veggie delight for the amazing early bird of e11.95. Tried the vegetable curry for the first time which the boy wasn't too excited about...but that just left more for me!! And the naan seems to keep getting better and better. Also love the poppadoms with all the scrummy sauces. If you haven't gone here yet...GO!

To our delight, we discovered they had a restaurant in the heart of Dun Laoghaire! Always wanting to support a delicious restaurant, we headed out to sample their tasty delights. Once inside, we recognized a staff member who cordially greeted us and had us immediately seated at a table. There weren't many people inside the restaurant so, it wasn't loud or annoying with toddlers poking their faces in your food. Musically, there was traditional Indian tunes to transport you to New Delhi! We decided to try the dish, Beef Balti, which is our favorite at Shakira and wondered if there would be any differences between the takeaway version to the restaurant's. The food arrived promptly and fresh with naan bread. One taste and we were in heaven as the Balti was cleverly seasoned and spiced just right. It exceeded our expectations yet, we were unable to finish it. Overall, prices and service are unbeatable. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and with enough food to feed a family of 4. The waiters are exceptionally kind and gracious without ever being a nuisance. If you want to eat something other than a batter burger, head out to Shakira and give your tastebuds a new awakening! We love Shakira and will return very soon!!

We brought our own wine, which was kindly opened by the staff, with no corkage charge. Excellent set menu for the Valentines weekend-€45.00 for 2 starter, 2 main, 1 rice, 1 naan, 2 dessert and 2 glasses of wine. I had Lamb Kebab to start and then Tandoori chicken makhani. Couldn't finish mains as I was so full. Food was superb, and not one of us could fault any dish we were served. Joined Jan 10 6 Reviews 1 Hats Off! loading... Aster (Foodie) Credibility Score: 29% Visited: 19 Jan 2010 | Posted: over 2 months ago We braved the cold cold midweek night expecting the place to be empty but there were others there too who must have had the same idea - we had a lovely meal - everything was delicious. The naan bread was exceptional, I asked for garlic and coriander bread which was not on the menu but this was not a problem and they rustled the best one ever up. We had the lamb kofte and a lovely vegetable chilli curry which was very good and we also had the potato and aubergine dish which was scrumptious. The service was so pleasant and it is somewhere you can just go, eat and be anonymous – posing is not on the menu here. << First Page < Prev [Results 1 - 8 of 9] Next > Last Page >>
