Found this little gem whilst attending a wedding in Birr. So glad I did. As someone who likes Indian food, this unassuming little restaurant in Birr provides some of the best Indian food I've ever had, at sensible prices too! Don't miss it! Book if you can - we just walked in and were lucky enough to find a table. Enjoy!

Tasty food
The best Indian food I have ever eaten!
I'm not any sort of Indian food expert, but I do like it, and what he had in Sanjay's was the best I've ever had.
In fact, regardless of ethnicity, this was just a fantastic dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and beautifully presented. And the service, wow! Just fabulous! Fast, efficient, friendly, polite, professional, and seemingly effortless!
Can't wait to go back again!!
I've been here a few times now and to be honest, it's just fine. I've had some good experiences and some very mediocre ones.
I am not a fussy eater but yesterday I ordered "coconut lamb" and it literally tasted like they forgot to add the coconut and the other spices (cinnamon, clove) (should be very noticeable) it supposedly had I could barely taste. The dish ended up just tasting like dry lamb and gravy and for 20+ euro it's very disappointing (especially as that was for the curry alone). The peshwari nan was also fine but for 4.50 I would expect more than one piece... As a local I would love to come here regularly but not when the quality is so inconsistent. I think you guys can do a lot better for the prices you are charging.
