The 38 Best Restaurants in Dublin, Ireland | Eater

"Dublin has plenty of Thai-inspired spots, but few nail fire and flavor like Achara. Start with the mussel skewer, blistered over live fire and slicked with satay. Argentinian prawns come drenched in peanut and lemongrass sauce, while Feighcullan chicken thighs arrive with crisped skin and a punch of fish sauce. The aubergine — smoky, garlicky, and rich with Thai basil — is the sleeper hit. Cocktails lean sharp, especially the barbecue rhubarb gimlet. Vibe check: The flavors are big on spice and smoke, but the restaurant remains cool, relaxed, and great for a group of friends." - Corinna Hardgrave

Excellent Thai food. The menu focuses on regional and less common dishes, which really makes it stand out. Every dish was full of flavor and perfectly balanced. The staff were professional and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed but stylish. One of the best meals we had in Dublin. Highly recommended.

Great concept of Thai food cooked over charcoal, with great service. All the food was delicious, including the chargrilled sea bass. I thought the cocktails were interesting on paper but the flavours were unbalanced, unfortunately. The service was 100% - we asked to be moved further from the kitchen and they bent over backwards to accommodate. Then throughout the meal, the wait staff checked regularly to see if we needed anything and to explain the menu. Can't wait to go back!

We had the tasting menu so got to try a bit of everything - the food was really impressive our favorites being the aubergine, sea bass, and monkfish ceviche. Was an excellent experience and will absolutely be going back! The only downside was a bit noisy so hard to talk to each other but I think it was just because it was so busy. Would highly recommend this place for a great Thai fusion experience!

Pretty good. Chicken skewers & seabass were both great. Prawns were alright. Cocktails were nice but probably not worth it. Rice and green beans were good "sides". Staff were sound. This restaurant seems to be busy most of the time so booking is recommended. Interior is well decorated. Tables are a bit close to each other so not a lot of privacy.

Had an absolutely delicious meal! So highly recommend the food. Loved everything we tried, in particular the chicken skewer and wagyu beef krapao. Tried another new Thai restaurant that opened recently in town and this is far better. There was just a few funny things with our bill. We were charged for tap water which had been brought to our table without asking, as usual. Also a side order of green beans we hadn't ordered came that we presumed came with a main but didn't. The green beans were delicious and we ate them all so when they were on the bill we didn't feel we should question. All in all a greet dinner

This place is incredible. If you like to try fusion Thai cuisine in Dublin, there is no better place than Achara. We had their chicken wings and prawns as the starters followed by Seabass and beef curry. Everything was super delicious, and theirs staff is great too. Highly recommend !!!!

Good portions sizes and tasty but missing some creativity. For example pad krapow just had a tonne of mince with an egg, they should have provided some lettuce cups and a separate sauce for example to lighten it. Short ribs were good, very tender, well marinated but after a while it gets tiring. Maybe a side of veg was missing. Interior design is on point. Service was slow. Always had to ask waiter to come over. After mains were taken no one came to ask if we wanted anything else or ask for a bill again had to ask to come over.

Achara absolutely blew my mind! Definitely the most delicious Thai food I’ve ever had in my life!! Went there for dinner - the ingredients were fresh, the food was cooked extremely well and the margaritas were off the charts! I ended up having 3 with dinner because they complimented the food so well - for the record, they have 2 types of margaritas - a regular one, and the one I’m talking about which has lime juice I believe! 🍋‍🟩 Dessert I could have skipped if I’m being honest, but the rest of the food was so good, it deserves the 5 stars! Also very reasonably priced for the quality you get! Can’t wait to go back.
