I have not seen the menu so I can only guess as to what you can expect until I actually have a meal there [note I did attend the opening and was impressed by the sample dishes]
“Desi Crew” is aiming to bring the vibrant and diverse flavours of South Indian street food to Dublin! Here’s what you might expect if you visit:
Food:
Focus on South Indian cuisine: Expect dishes from the regions of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Think dosas (thin, crispy crepes made from fermented batter), idlis (steamed rice cakes), vadas (savory lentil doughnuts), and uttapams (thicker pancakes with toppings).
Street food style: This likely means the food will be casual, flavourful, and perhaps served in a way reminiscent of street stalls in India.
Variety of chutneys and sambars: South Indian food is known for its accompanying sauces and dips. You’ll probably find coconut chutney, tomato chutney, sambar (a lentil-based vegetable stew), and perhaps even some more unique regional chutneys.
Spice levels: South Indian food can be spicy, but a restaurant catering to a wider audience will likely offer a range of spice levels to suit different palates. Don’t hesitate to ask for your preferred level of heat.
Fresh ingredients: Given the emphasis on street food, you can hope for fresh, vibrant ingredients and bold flavours.
Atmosphere:
Casual and lively: Street food is all about a bustling, energetic atmosphere. The restaurant might have bright colors, lively music, and a casual setting.
“Desi Crew” is a promising addition to Dublin’s food scene, offering a taste of authentic South Indian street food. If you’re looking for a casual, flavourful, and potentially spicy dining experience, it’s definitely worth checking out!
