Indian restaurants in Ireland tend to be more miss than hit, but Saffron stands out, not only for its fiery curries, rich tikkas and aromatic biryani dishes (made from basmati rice and served with masala sauce), but also for its stylish, contemporary decor. Great cocktails like pomegranate martinis, too.
