Mehek Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Dublin

From the moment we walked in, the music was cheerful, varied and delightful, which set a welcoming mood.

I let the server know that I can’t eat dairy, and she was very accommodating and went through everything individually with me.

Starters We chose the Vegetarian Platter and every element was excellent. The onion bhaji were crisp and light, with a soft interior that was beautifully balanced. A simple salad of tomato, onion and carrot, lifted with chaat masala and a hint of pickle, was refreshing and bright. The deep fried cauliflower was crunchy and golden on the outside while still tender inside. The batata vada was smoky, rich and absolutely delicious, with perfectly spiced potato filling. The vegetarian samosa was perfectly cooked, with a satisfying crunch and a dusting of chaat masala that made it shine.

Mains I had the Achari Bhindi, which felt comfortingly home cooked. The sauce was rich and full of flavour, and the okra was cooked just right, avoiding the common texture issue of okra. I also had the Mixed Vegetable Jalfrezi, which was bursting with smoky tomato flavours and included vegetables that were cooked with real care.

I had the Mushroom Pulao Rice, made with extra long grain basmati, which was earthy, aromatic and spiced with precision. The tandoori rotis were outstanding, with a flavour that reminded me of sourdough, warm and deeply satisfying.

To accompany the meal we had a Bordeaux Blanc, which was fresh and balanced, and paired perfectly with my partner’s monkfish. The Zaffrani Monkfish itself deserves a special mention. He declared it life changing, which I believe says it all.

Service was also a highlight. Our server Gagan looked after us with warmth and attentiveness, and we felt thoroughly cared for throughout the evening.

Mehek is a place that combines warmth, flavour and thoughtfulness in every detail. It offers both comfort and sophistication, and it is a restaurant we will...

We had the pleasure of dining at Mehek for the second time, and once again, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, the owner was incredibly welcoming and attentive, paying close attention to even the smallest details from making sure the water wasn’t too cold to adjusting the spice levels of the dishes to suit our preferences.

We started with the non-veg platter, and the staff were kind enough to replace the duck with chicken on our request. The Chicken Tikka was juicy, succulent, and perfectly complemented by the pineapple chutney. The Lamb Kebab was melt-in-the-mouth tender and paired beautifully with mint and dahi chutney. The Pakora was wonderfully crisp with a tangy imli chutney, while the Kesari Prawns stood out for their tenderness and bold flavor, enhanced by the lassoni sauce.

For the mains, we had the Amritsari Bhuna Chicken, which was an absolute flavor bomb rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. To go with it, I ordered a stuffed cheese and chili naan and my partner chose the laccha paratha. Both breads were outstanding in fact, the best we’ve had in Dublin so far.

Overall, Mehek continues to impress us not only with its food but also with its thoughtful service and attention to detail. It’s quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants in Dublin, and we’re already looking forward to...

IG - Farhaan_10 I recently visited Mahek Restaurant and had a bit of a mixed experience. The atmosphere is fine dine with culinary pricision but too dark.They have the potential to be great! The service was friendly and attentive and really posh fine dine, and the platter was a real winner. However, the Thali and Kulfi need some work on flavor and execution.

🤤The Hits: Platter: The Seekh Kebab, Chicken Tikka, and Prawns were all fantastic! The meat was tender and flavorful. Huge shoutout to the Seekh Kebab ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Service: They were very accommodating when we realized the Duck Roll wasn't halal so they replaced with chops which were delicious ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for services.

🥴The Misses: Thali: Unfortunately, the Thali fell short. While the rice was good, the curries were disappointing: Butter Chicken: A bit too sweet, lacked the usual depth of flavor - ⭐️⭐️. Lamb Curry: Way too salty, overpowering the other flavors - ⭐️. Veg Curry: Missing any real taste ⭐️. Kulfi: Not quite what I expected. It tasted more like Milk Khoa than...
