More Rogan Posh that Rogan Josh, Cinnamon Garden is a contemporary India restaurant serving modern Indian food in a beautifully decorated dining room.
One of the new wave of stylish Indian establishments, Aashim Bajaj’s elegant eatery has been packing them in in Ashbourne. The menu features bold and distinct flavors that showcase the unique blend of cuisines found throughout India. They use locally grown seasonal produce and herbs to prepare all the sauces, spice blends, and desserts daily.
The menu is shorter than in some of the more traditional restaurants, but you will find variations of all your favourite dishes given a modern twist. There are so many great things on the menu here, it is difficult to know where to start, but three starters that really stand out are the cinnamon lamb stir fry, the spinach and cheese Samosas and the lamb chapali kebab with pineapple chutney. The is also an excellent tandoori chicken and the mixed platter features an onion bhaji, tandoori chicken, lamb kebab and an excellent piece of mint fish.
Main courses and side dishes continue the high standard, and the Goan fish curry is a highlight, as is the slow roasted lamb shank with Kashmir chilli and the Chicken tak a tak. Each main course has a recommended side order that compliments the dish, and we have tried their Channa masala - chickpeas with tamarind and coriander - and Jeera Aloo - thinly sliced potato with cumin and coriander lime drizzling.
The naan breads are excellent, and desserts are a step above what you will find in most Indian restaurants, the chocolate mousse being especially good.
Cinnamon Garden is a restaurant that is striving to be the best. Aside from Rasam and Ananda, I really haven’t tasted Indian food any better elsewhere in Ireland. This coupled with really good service makes this one of the finds of the year. It’s funny really, but Ashbourne boasts two of the best ethnic restaurants in the country, our favourite Chinese, Eatzen and now The Cinnamon Garden. Well worth a trip.

Since enjoying a transformation back in March, One Pico is packing them in for what is probably the best value lunch in the City, with two courses on offer for €19.95 and Three for €25. The decor is fab, food brilliant and the value truly surprising. Don't miss it, this can't last forever.
We love Seargrass in Portobello. Sean is one of the city's most talented chefs and is constantly coming up with new dishes and tastes to tantilize. Well now he has done it again with the new Platai Bia menu.
This is one of the best deals we have come across, not least because the items on the menu are not what you expect on a cut price menu - duck, rack of lamb and good fish dishes all appear. Telephone +353 (0) 41 9835410 or e mail info@scholarshotel.com.
Great value lunch, 2 courses €9.95...
Fabulous Indonesian food, Early bird €18, full dinner at only €25.,

Ely HQ restaurant is seriously impressive, from the contemporary design to an exciting menu that's heavy on fish. The quality of the wine list is no less than you can …
Madina is as far removed from some of Dublin’s Indian restaurants as it is possible to get, but bears an uncanny resemblance to where you could find yourself in Bombay, …
Busy and buzzy neighbourhood restaurant that attracts the crowds from much further afield than the well heeled denizens of Howth. Always full, good fun and very good food.
