There has been an ‘Ethnic Restaurant’ category in our awards since their inception in the early ‘90s. Originally interpreted as ‘oriental’, it now reflects the diversity of dining experience in contemporary Ireland to include all restaurants that truly represent any specific culture or cultures. In recent years there has been a sea change in terms of the range and quality of Ireland’s international cuisine - and, in 2018, the arrival of this small restaurant set a new benchmark that will further challenge the popular perception of ethnic cuisines.  

From street food stall to the hottest little Indian restaurant around, Santosh Thomas serves up the freshest, most delicious dishes from his homeland at 3 Leaves. A wizard with spices, his carefully considered dahls, snacks, curries and breads are served up by Milie Mathew, his charming wife. While the couple

Blackrock Market gem is a delicious and affordable delight.
