Kinara

Kinara is a short distance outside the immediate city centre in a gorgeous location overlooking Dublin Bay. There are some excellent golf courses nearby as well, so why not combine two pleasures?

'Kinara' means 'at the water's edge' in Urdu, and true to its moniker the restaurant sits in a picturesque spot beside Bull Island in North Dublin. Beautiful food with amazing views - or is it the other way around?

Since appearing on the scene in 2001, this first restaurant in the Kinara family has built its reputation through excellence and innovation in Pakistani and Eastern cuisine (it has since been joined by Kajjal in Malahide and Kinara Kitchen in Ranelagh).

This is also a good choice for vegetarians, as Kinara offers quite a few suitable menu options.

Whether you prefer a mellow Masala or a bold Biryani, you'll be glad you made the journey.
