Restaurant review: I can't do justice to the diversity of flavours at this southern Indian spot

Andhra Bhavan opened in 2024 promising to be Ireland’s ‘first authentic southern Indian’ restaurant but I don’t think this claim is quite true. 

While doing some research for this review I learned on the epicchq.com website that the first book published in English by an Indian was published in 1794 by Dean Mahomet, who was born in Patna in north-east India but lived in Cork. 

He later eloped to London with a Cork woman named Jane Jeffreys and had seven children.
