At Ananda, dining is more than a meal — it is a journey. The Saransh tasting menu captures this philosophy in its purest form, bringing together the essence of Ananda’s culinary evolution into one carefully curated experience.

Meaning “summary” in Sanskrit, Saransh reflects the story of Ananda — a celebration of the dishes, techniques, and inspirations that have shaped the restaurant over the years.

Traditionally, Ananda’s tasting menus have explored the rich diversity of India’s regional cuisines. Each menu has paid tribute to the landscapes, traditions, and ingredients that define different parts of the country.

Saransh takes this concept further.

Rather than focusing on one region, it presents a Pan-Indian experience — a collection of Ananda’s most celebrated dishes, brought together into a single, seamless journey. From the spice-rich south to the refined flavours of the north, each course offers a glimpse into India’s vast culinary heritage.

Every dish on the Saransh menu tells a story.

It is a story of heritage and innovation, where traditional Indian cooking techniques meet modern culinary expression. Classic flavours are reimagined with precision and creativity, resulting in dishes that feel both familiar and entirely new.

From delicate spice balances to contemporary presentation, Saransh showcases how Indian cuisine can evolve while remaining true to its roots.

The menu unfolds as a carefully structured tasting journey, designed to engage all the senses:

• Charminar – Hazelnut & goat’s cheese dumpling with tandoori roasted beetroot
• Tuticorin Naakku Meen – Chennai-spiced halibut with mango ginger kari
• Tellicherry Tharavu – Barbary duck with cabbage, artichoke purée, and plum gel
• Black Lime Sorbet – A refreshing palate cleanser
• Malvani Chicken Curry – Coconut rassa with pumpkin seed naan
• Chandni Chowk Gaajar Halwa – A North Indian classic with white chocolate ice cream

Each course is thoughtfully paired with wines selected to complement and elevate the flavours, creating a harmonious balance throughout the experience.

Saransh is designed to be enjoyed by the entire table, encouraging a shared journey that reflects the communal nature of Indian dining.

From the aroma of freshly ground spices to the visual artistry of each plate, every detail is carefully considered. The experience goes beyond taste — it is about atmosphere, storytelling, and connection.

More than just a tasting menu, Saransh is a reflection of Ananda’s past and a glimpse into its future.

It brings together the highlights of previous menus while embracing new ideas, creating a dining experience that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

For those seeking a tasting menu in Dublin that combines elegance, creativity, and authenticity, Saransh offers something truly memorable.
