ANANDA

Had a wonderful dining experience with my family at Ananda, Dundrum. The food was absolutely delicious — we kept ordering more and more! 😊 Our waitress, Rashmi, was outstanding — patient, professional, and always served with a smile. It was also lovely speaking with Mr. Anand, who made us feel truly welcome. A memorable evening all around — we’ll definitely be back soon!

Good meal and good experience in general, however extremely overpriced and not at the level of what they seem to promise/offer. It seems a place that wants to offer an apparently sofisticated environment to satisfy high end customers, but has absolutely no real quality underneath. About the Michelin Bib gourmand.... bah .....

Best Indian food I have ever experienced! Wish I could’ve eaten more of it. The place itself has a bit of an outdated vibe but don’t be fooled by it! The service and food was excellent. Everything we tried including the cocktails was superb. The flavours just exploded in your mouth! Highly recommended

Overall, the dishes were tasty and of high quality. I would consider going again.

I’m currently sitting at my table in Ananda, and to say I’m disappointed is an understatement. One of the butlers taking my order insisted—rather bluntly—that I place my starters and mains together. It wasn’t just the request, but the tone and the attitude with which it was delivered. It felt rushed, dismissive, and completely out of line with what I would expect from a restaurant that positions itself at Michelin-star standards. At this level, you expect refinement, courtesy, and an experience that feels thoughtful and seamless. Instead, the interaction felt abrupt and borderline rude. For a place known for premium service, the way my order was handled has been extremely underwhelming and has set a very poor tone for the evening so far. I genuinely hope the restaurant pays attention to the service quality, because this is not what guests come here for

I recently visited Ananda dundrum which was recommended by my friend, the atmosphere is designed with modern elements with Indian tradition and it turned out to be one of the finest experiences in Dublin The service was absolutely flawless with incredible knowledge about menu and with wine pairing, I will be absolutely returning again.

This is by far the best Indian restaurant we’ve ever tried. My partner and I have travelled the world and always seek out a good Indian restaurant as Indian food is our favourite. We have never found anything that slightly compares to Ananda. It’s unique in every way. Incredible atmosphere and the team in the kitchen and the restaurant are so kind and helpful. They make each meal fresh to order so they can accommodate any dietary requirements. If you love Indian food you have got to try. It’s worth travelling to. You won’t be disappointed I promise. I recommend the lamb shank as it’s my favourite. We always go for anniversaries and birthdays. Sometimes just because we fancy a treat.

I had dinner with my family last night, and sadly, the overall experience fell short of expectations. From the beginning, the welcome felt unprofessional, and we were left waiting far too long before anyone came to take our order. Even after placing it, the food took an unexpectedly long time to arrive. Simple details that create a pleasant dining atmosphere, such as lighting the candle on the table, were also missed until we had to ask the manager, who addressed it only afterward. A restaurant’s service and attention to detail are just as important as the food itself. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements, as these issues significantly affect the overall dining experience
