Meet
Chef Santhosh
Gold winner of Best Chef in Indian Cuisine, Dublin – Irish Curry Awards 2017 & 2018
For Chef Santhosh, becoming a chef was a dream of his from a very young age.
Setting up 3 Leaves in Blackrock came from Santhosh’s desire to work as a chef and prepare dishes which highlighted India’s vast and diverse cuisine: It’s no surprise at all that Chef Santhosh can’t live without spices: “My vision is to offer my customers a pure taste of India, a symphony of taste for them to experience the depth and flavour of the spices. I believe the soul of any Indian dish is the freshly ground spices, therefore every morning I prepare these spices. Each dishes I make in 3 Leaves has its own blend of spices, which in turn, gives them a unique character.”
The “freedom to be creative with my menu” is Chef Santhosh’s favourite part of his job. When he started 3 Leaves, he wanted to “change the perception of Indian cuisine as a hot and sweating meal” and make it an enjoyable experience for everyone.

From the Press
This sweet little eatery sits within a bohemian market and is always packed. Simple lunches follow a ‘when it’s gone, it’s gone’ approach – go for the great value ‘Taster’ menu.
