Nestled in the heart of the city, this restaurant impresses with its beautiful, creative dishes crafted from fresh ingredients. Standout offerings include the prawn skewer, raw scallops, and lobster curry, while the stuffed zucchini flowers receive mixed reviews. The a la carte menu is praised for value, though the tasting menus and wine selection feel pricey. Despite a slight snobbery in service, the friendly staff and vibrant atmosphere create an inviting dining experience. With a commitment to seasonal menus and well-thought-out wine pairings, this venue promises a delightful culinary journey worth revisiting.

Delicious food with a delightful Indian flair. I highly recommend it!

This restaurant is a must-visit for everyone! I absolutely loved it. It's a fantastic place with a wonderful team. The dining experience and menu choices for New Year's Eve were perfection. Don’t forget to try the lobster curry!

The food was absolutely delicious, but I found it quite pricey, especially considering the portion sizes. The cocktails were also on the expensive side. While the service was decent, it had a hint of snobbery that made it feel somewhat off-putting. Despite these drawbacks, I would like to give the restaurant another try.

A delicious and unforgettable meal. have tasted every bite!

Such lovely food and amazing flavours. Friendly and professional service and a lovely local vibe. Can't recommend Irene's enough!
