Ordered from here last night for Collection, I would describe the experience as… ok, a lot of room for improvement on basic processes.
Ordered and was told on the phone that it would take 45 mins (which I felt was steep for a takeaway) arrived after 50 mins and was told it was not ready… now normally this wouldn’t be a problem but the restaurant is packed so tightly that there was no place to stand inside and as a result had to wait for a further 10 mins outside in the lashing rain with very little in terms of an apology.
Popadoms… normally I would order these as a side just to ensure I get a few extra as most places would throw in a few when it’s a substantial enough order (main courses etc.)… in this place it was €3.50 and got 3 small popadoms! Not great value for money for something that arguably could be included anyway!
Whilst the Lamb Tikka was nice and exactly what I had hoped for, the Chicken Korma was a little off in terms of taste, however, I’ll admit that this is more down to personal preference and as a word of warning to others looking to order.
Would be reluctant to return until some of these issues are rectified as there are plenty of other quality places within a...
Read moreit's not often I give 15/15 but wow. I had seen Badam on social media and quickly booked a table for 5pm last Saturday. Quickly because they only seat 14 people at one time. We arrived and were seated be a lovely young lady. The room is decorated very tastefully and is small but not intrusive. As we looked through the menu we were given some poppadoms and delicious dips. For starters we had the sweet chilli Scallops and the tandoor king prawns, they both exceeded our expectations both in presentation and taste. An absolute fabulous start to our meal. For mains we decided to share the baruchi lamb curry and the butter masala chicken with basmati rice. Both dishes were outstanding and full of flavour. There is no rush between courses and you are well looked after by the polite, friendly and attentive staff. I had a beer with the starter and we shared a bottle of Chardony with the mains. The bill came to €123 which is reasonable for the level of food and service. Overall we both thought it was a fabulous experience and value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend this quirky but fantastic little gem. We will definitely...
Read moreDelightful Authentic and Welcoming Indian / Nepalese Restaurant! I have been a customer both eat in and takeaway at this amazing restaurant for the past year and a half and feel compelled to express my genuine appreciation for the quality of the fabulous cuisine and warm welcome every single time I visit. Yes it’s tiny, yes it has no parking, yes sometimes there may be a slight delay. My solution to this is simple. When collecting takeout and it’s raining I bring an umbrella ! When there is a slight delay sometimes I treat myself to a glass of house red wine and sit at the outdoor table and watch the world go by ! If I’m driving, I park around the corner on Hollybrook Park ! First world problems sorted 😉 Go prepared for an absolutely wonderful dining experience ! This is truly an adorable little restaurant which is a credit to the owners and staff who clearly work extremely hard to deliver top class cuisine in a micro kitchen 😳 Thank you Badam for your vision in turning a tiny property built into a railway bridge on the Howth Road Clontarf into a culinary vibrant...
