Chennai Dosa offered a large menu of curries, dosas, and more, but my pick was the North Indian Thali, which came with a sampling of 10 ramekins of dishes, along with two chapatti flatbreads and a papad cracker. The dishes included chana masala (chickpea curry); a decadent paneer butter masala; yellow dal; spicy potatoes; a mixed vegetable dish of potatoes, peas, and carrots; and two different mixed rice dishes (a slightly sweet rice and a more heavily spiced brown-colored rice). The thali also came with sides of raita, a yellow sweet made of semolina, and sliced cucumbers/carrots/onions to round it all out. This restaurant was definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but the service, flavors, and prices were all on point!

The pictures on the menu do not necessarily match up with the entree it is next to. Ate palak paneer and butter paneer for dinner with side of parathas, and an extra cheese paratha. Palak paneer left much to be desired, was a little low on the flavor side. Butter paneer was much better, a little sweeter, and had a coconut flavor coming through. The plain parathas were thick and fluffy, great for sopping up sauces. The cheese paratha was really my star of the show- it was a kinda of Brie/cream cheese filling that was gooey on the inside. Somehow, it really brought extra flavor out in the entrees. We arrived at an opportune time, so we didn't wait, but we were the last to arrive before the rush. After us, there was a constant wait and solo customers were seated in any available space, even with other guests. This did not impact us. The staff did not rush any of the guests to turn over tables and accommodate the rush. The food seemed to be made upon request and the staff was constantly moving and serving. In sum, if you are a vegetarian, looking for relatively cheap and tasty Indian food, don't mind a divey/crowded atmosphere, definitely check this place out- it clearly gets a lot of hype.

Ok so let's talk about Sangeetha and why I'm giving it such a high rating…read more Sangeetha is located down the street from a couple of other Indian restaurants. We tried a couple of the other places down the street, but hands down Sangeetha was the best and most accommodating to our dietary restrictions. Certain members of my family eat a semi-Jain diet and do not eat any food items with onion or garlic in it. Because of this, traveling can be quite difficult and it's often very hard for them to find food items that they can eat, especially while abroad. This restaurant was very understanding about their dietary restrictions and was able to modify dishes for them so they could actually have a full meal. Service was great and the interior was clean. Chaat service does end at a certain time so you can't get it later in the day, but their menu is still pretty appealing. Honestly, one of the better Indian restaurants in Paris esp if you have dietary issues.

Everything is priced separately, so the items on the menu don't include sides like rice or naan bread. Personally, I don't eat much, so I thought it was fine. When you order naan bread, they only give you one piece--unlike other countries where you often get more. It feels a bit stingy, and you're paying a lot for minimal food. I don't understand why this restaurant doesn't include sides with the dishes; it seems odd that everything is priced separately. The service was just okay. I didn't feel any warm or friendly vibe--it was neutral at best. The atmosphere was also just okay.

On Yelp, we had found Le Palais de Raja Maharaja and it was one of the best decisions I made in France. Actually, I believe that it is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in my life. If you don't speak French, they are very accommodating. When we walked in the restaurant, we were greeted and sat right away. The host and the owner was very friendly and inviting. He made some great recommendations on the menu. For a free starter, we were offered some papadum with some nice chutneys. It was all very tasty and fresh. We ended up ordering some vegetable samosas, butter chicken, and a lentil chicken soup. The samosas were fresh and crispy with nice flavors! Be careful, these things come out hot. The butter chicken did not have overcooked chicken which is a huge plus! It was savory, rich, and creamy. Sometimes, excess oil is a problem in butter chicken. But, not here! This dish was great. I have no complaints about the lentil soup, but it is pretty standard. Although it was quite good, it definitely wasn't the star of the meal. To end the night, we ordered halva dessert. It is a very sweet, dense confection dessert. It was absolutely delicious and will fulfill any sweet tooth. If you are looking to take a break from all of the French food in France, this would be a great option. Especially if you are staying at a nearby hotel.
