Summer Inn Drops Two New “Savage” Dishes Just in Time for Summer

Dublin takeaway fans — this one feels built for the exact moment we’re in. Summer Inn Asian Food have launched two new limited-time dishes, leaning fully into what Irish takeaway culture does best: big portions, bold seasoning, and comfort food with a bit of heat.

The two new additions - The Savage Spice Bag and Savage Fried Dumplings - are already getting attention online, and if early reactions are anything to go by, this isn’t just another menu update… it’s one people are actually talking about.

The Savage Spice Bag (€14.50 online)

The name tells you everything — this is not your standard spice bag.

It’s a larger portion than usual, packed with crispy chips, seasoned chicken, a chicken ball, that classic salt & chilli mix, but with an added kick to push it slightly beyond your typical order.

What makes it stand out:

Bigger, more filling portion
Heavier seasoning with a bit more spice
Includes a chicken ball inside
Comes with your choice of sauce:
- Thai Sweet Chilli
- Curry
- Satay

Early reactions suggest the Thai sweet chilli is getting serious hype, while curry remains the go-to classic.

Savage Fried Dumplings (€11.50 online)

If the spice bag is the headline, the dumplings might be the fan favourite.

You get 10 salt & chilli fried dumplings, tossed with peppers, onions, garlic, and chilli — crispy on the outside, soft and juicy inside — with a curry dip on the side.

What makes these stand out:

Crispy finish (not your usual soft dumplings)
Full salt & chilli seasoning
Curry dip included

These feel like the kind of side that quickly becomes the main event.

There’s already strong buzz around these — including from Dublin food reviewer @conorryan75, who said: “Them dumplings were absolutely insane… curry sauce from the gods… what more do you want?” Never one to pull punches - but what Conor says lines up with what others are saying too!

Based on what we’re seeing, this is a smart menu drop. The dumplings look like they’re getting most of the attention - crispy, spicy, and that curry dip seems to be doing serious work. The spice bag leans more into a bigger, heavier version of a classic, which is never a bad thing when it’s done right.

Overall, this has strong “worth trying on your next order” energy.

What to Pair It With

If you’re going all in, this is proper pint-and-takeaway territory.:

Lager — clean, cold, cuts through spice
IPA — balances the heat
Simple cocktail — works surprisingly well with dumplings

This latest drop fits right into that — familiar favourites, pushed a bit further.

This isn’t about reinventing the wheel — it’s about doing what works, but doing it bigger and bolder. They’ve taken two things Irish people already love:
