Restaurant review: Dublin's affordable Achara is full of eastern promise

"A smart, modern space, it’s named for the owner of a food stall in Thailand who introduced Achara’s chef and co-owner Graeme Reynolds to the foundations of Thai cooking, it also has a nice pun with the Irish for dear friend."
