Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Dublin right now. Great service, big portions, superb presentation and the food is always excellent. It's Northern Indian cuisine but using the very best of locally-sourced Irish ingredients but with spices brought from India. Some choices, such as the slow-braised leg of lamb, need to be ordered in advance. And you'll almost certainly need to book in advance. As well as dinner, there is a nice lunch menu. Be aware there are set dining times so you'll need to plan in advance.

Monty's has something of cult following among Dubliners, as well as a big reputation for top-notch, authentic Nepalese cuisine. They use traditional charcoal tandoor on their barbecued dishes, which adds to the authenticity. The food is great and so is the service. For wine buffs, Monty's has one of the largest and most eclectic wine lists you'll find in any restaurant in Dublin.
