Shanai - Cabinteely

This was a maiden voyage with our local takeaway and I'm sorry to so it was just awful. I love Indian takeaways and have tried most of the establishments around the area. This was by far the most disappointing. The onion bhaji was dry and flavourless. The first bad bhaji I've ever tasted! The butter chicken tasted like chicken in cream. No spices or flavour at all. I had the lamb tikka starter which apparently melts in your mouth. Tough as boots but flavour was decent. The chilli masala had plenty of spice but the only flavour I could taste was tobasco which was concerning. Every other local Indian takeaway option is many levels above here.

Ordered lamb bhuna with plain naan, poppadoms and mint sauce. Best bhuna I've had and food arrived piping hot. I highly recommend Service: Delivery Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5

A beautiful place where I tried Indian cuisine for the first time, a quiet and relaxing atmosphere also suitable for romantic dinners, the only noise was the food cooking, the garlic and cheese bread was excellent, and instead the chicken and lamb tikka they were space deserves 5 stars I would give more if I could, absolutely recommended. Service: Dine in

Would highly recommend have been ordering from them for years and have been amazing. Lovely people and good food. Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala, Seekh Kebab, Pilau Rice, Butter Chicken
