Afsana Tandoori Restaurant

This was a really nice discovery! Went there with three people, shared 2 starters, had two wines, a lovely main course with some extra nan bread and only payed € 30 pp. Very nice waiter and a neat restaurant, would recommend!

I had low expectations of Afsana: late night Indian restaurant in Temple Bar? However I was most pleasantly surprised by the reality. And having been off the booze at the time of my first visit, I can quash any doubts that an alcoholic haze was clouding my judgement. The meat dishes are to die for, but the aloo saag is one of the best in town: gingery, spicy, thick, delicious. The waiter is unflaggingly cheerful, friendly and polite and, to my infinite satisfaction, I have yet to encounter a hen party or other such undesirables amongst my fellow diners. A lone criticism would be that the naans could use a little work — but hey, distract yourself with the surprisingly tolerable house wine or a swift Cobra. The phenomenally good value doesn’t hurt either. To sum a a great little gem!
