admittedly, I don't eat at other Indian Restaurants in Paris, but I know a lot in NYC and the surrounding area. THIS IS THE BEST INDIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD!
You can tell it is made fresh, and it has a family-run atmosphere. There is an older gentleman that is a delight and sits down and plays the sitar during interludes. Everyone is very nice, and I'm pretty sure everyone speaks English if you need it. I can confirm the older gentleman that is always present definitely does.
Admittedly, it is a little pricey compared to other Indian food I have tried (about 55-60 euros for 3 people), however the food is definitely worth that price.
The chicken tandori was fresh, well spiced, and cooked to perfection. The spices, in general added distinct and delicious flavor to the food, without ovewhelming the palate and did not make them too hot/ spicy. Examples of excellent vegetable selections include all the classics (dal, gobi, and the spinach-cheese plate that is different and better than any other I've every tried). I'm sure you could ask for the plates to be prepared hotter, but I never do- I feel they know what they are doing in the kitchen and do not want to deviate. The nan (regular) is light and fluffy and baked on the spot. The samosas are better than average, especially the vegetable samosas, but I think the real prizes of the establishment is in their main plates.
Highly recommend it if you are in the mood for Indian food- I have convinced people from the right bank to make the trip down, they all leave highly impressed and agree this Indian food is the jam! read more
