Things are getting a lil' hot and spicy right now.
It's time to add a little sass, spice, sizzle and sear to your next meal out. Dump the safe options, grab yourself a big pint of water or milk and a packet of Rennies because these dishes are a force to be reckoned with.
Your tongue is going to be on FIRE.
Welcome to the Lovin Dublin Curry Club.
We went on the hunt for Dublin's spiciest curries testing everything from Scoville units, pungency and after-taste to see which dishes would come out on top. This week we took on the spiciest Thai curries in Dublin.
Here are our top picks
1. Jungle Curry - Baan Thai
Baan Thai is known for using some of the hottest of chilies in their dishes and their lax attitude to spice.
It's a cute 'ol spot, very much your traditional Thai restaurant up a few flights of stairs in an unsuspecting building. The staff are super friendly and it's a very cool and calm atmosphere indoors.
Their Jungle Curry is super spicy and bloody delicious, as well as wickedly intense. Use this information wisely.
It will leave you speechless.
Like, literally... 'cause you're going to need to gulp a few pints of water before your mouth cools down.

2.. Hot Green Curry - Neon
Neon is one of my favourite places in Dublin to grab a quick and simple curry.
It's a stress-free venue, ideal for casual dining and the curries are class.
Their Hot Green Curry is made with coconut milk, Green beans, Chilli, Sweet Basil Leaves and Green Chilli Paste - you'll be thankful to get that free 99 when your meal is done.
