calm vibes nice decoration and dimly lit it's a good family oriented restaurant and also can be a nice date night out with friends. the food is pretty good! i got lamb tikka bad it's definitely one of the best i had in the city! the lamb vindaloo isn't spicy and that was a dissapointment it was too oily. the garlic naan was cooked like a flat bread and too crunchy it wasn't good either. the chicken biryani was good i liked it. the dessert is the worst no flavor and was bland just go out and get gelato instead the service is absolute trash they made us wait 14 mins despite having reservations already broke and it was weird standing around for no reason C+ due to the service and food was mids too much oil read more

Terrible food. No taste at all, and tons of salt. The only thing you can taste is salt. Avoid this restaurant, not worth going.

If you do a long trip to Italy, decent chance you'll want a break from pizza and pasta. I recommend eating at Krishna 13. We liked this restaurant so much, we actually ate here twice during our visit to Rome. If you arrive right when they open, you will get a table easily. Their mango lassi is delicious! read more

Krishna 13 - dope wine glass - Indian Near Me - Rome, RM

DON'T GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!! Zero customer service!! The worst Indian restaurant I have ever visited too today. To start with, I was in Rome for 3 days and saw this restaurant on my way back to hotel. I made a stop (it was around 6:30pm) and checked and guy on counter told me that they will be open at 7pm and I should come back after 7pm. I thanked and returned back around 8 and just after entering the restaurant, owner(Indian) looked at me and started saying there is no place and all tables are reserved (while I could see lot of empty tables). He started saying that I need to make reservation blah blah. I argued that I was told that I could come back after 7 and I wasn't informed about any reservations. I was so tired and walked all the way back to restaurant and ordered to go. Food was just ok. Well it seemed to me, he was typical racist and didn't want any Indian customer. I have traveled around and have been living in United States for years and have never ever came across such restaurant. I regret not reading Yelp reviews. read more

This place has one of the best Indian food, I have had outside India. I live in the U.S. and have tried Indian restaurants in numerous international locations. Mostly, I am disappointment. But, this place is amazing! Such perfect balance of spices. We ate dal makhni and shahi paneer. Shahi paneer was super delicious. My husband said and I quote "this is the second best dal makhni I have ever had". We went on a Sunday night and it was crowded and we had to wait outside. But the wait was worth it. We returned the next day for lunch . I guess calling in and making a reservation is a good idea if you are going for dinner. Staff is also very friendly. read more

Krishna 13 - Indian Near Me - Rome, RM

Krishna 13 was a surprising discovery for me since it was just a block from where I was staying in Rome. I went on a weekday night and it was super packed. The Indian food was delicious and authentic. Get a 2-3 dishes and share if you are going with 2 people! They also give you a small platter of thin crackers plus 3 chutneys as an included appetizer they charge 1 euro on your bill. The flavors were pretty good but I thought that the portion sizes were a little smaller than I expected. I was also a little annoyed that they charged for white rice which should be included with the entrees. The ambiance of the restaurant was also pretty good but a little too dark--they should add some candles to the tables. read more

This place is wonderful. I have been looking for a good Indian food restaurant and this one is almost like you are in India. If you like really spicy food make sure to ask for more spicy. I will definitely be coming back here again! read more

A huge disappointment. Food arrived luke warm. Terrible service. The waiter barely paid attention to us. The only saving grace was that the food was well flavored. We just wanted a break from Italian food and this restaurant was right across the street from our accomodations. read more

While other Indian restaurants in Rome have very few customers, and you most certainly don't need a reservation ... Krishna 13 breaks the mold and provides something interesting for both tourists and locals alike. We didn't have a reservation, and just walked over expecting to be served. The manager told us that he was full (and he was), but he was able to give us a table as long as he could seat the people who reserved it an hour later. Though I thought it was odd, I said okay and we sat down. They're really putting effort into the decor; it's one of the nicer restaurants that I've seen around the world. It's a small space, but doesn't feel tight. The walls are painted and have genre appropriate paintings and knick knacks. I think there was some soft Indian music on in the background, but I can't remember for sure. We ordered and got our food very quickly (not like they were trying to speed us along, just because they are well organized). The food is different because it's missing the cream that's common in most dishes; flavor comes from sweated onions, garlic and spices. I liked it a lot. The old standards of palak paneer and chicken tikka masala were good, different but good. Service was also good. We only had an hour to eat, but didn't feel like we were being rushed or not attended to. Who would have thought you'd find a fancy Indian restaurant in a random part of Rome? read more

No service to tourists, smelled awful on the inside. Don't even serve you on plates. I eat Indian food all the time and this is the worst service I have ever heard of. read more

Great food in Rome with average customer service. Good ambiance. Menu offers north Indian food mostly read more

Krishna 13 - Inside - Indian Near Me - Rome, RM

A solid 4 stars for food and ambience. Desserts 3 star. Indian food around the world tends to be pretty consistent; and this one is no exception. The naan is a little thinner and less chewy than some other varieties I've had. Can't go wrong with any of the mains; Lamb rogan josh is excellent, so is the vindaloo. Prawns were filled with flavor but skimpy in quantity; Tandoori chicken was like any other. Desserts- pistachio kulfi was interesting texture. Gulab jamun a little letdown, not as rich as I had expected. Solid choice for a break from Italian food read more

We made an online reservation with Kirshna for 6:30pm (18:30) last night and were confirmed. We ended up rushing across town to be there on time...only to be told 1) they were still cleaning & not ready to open, & they had a big party coming, so if we wanted to come back in half an hour they would seat us, but we'd have to be done by 8pm because of the big party coming in. We complained that they accepted our 6:30 reservation, but they we unwilling to change their offer. We obviously didn't go back. We don't know where the problem is with the "Fork" reservation system is - with the system or this restaurant, but they should have been willing to solve it when we were standing there. Luckily, we were able to find a nice restaurant willing to serve us without a reservation. read more

Really good food. The service is slow as it seems to be the case in Italy.

Krishna 13 fills a gap in the landscape of done-to-death Indian restaurants all over the world. Yes, our ancestors were food-centric people, ambience was secondary and they liked the stuffy decor with table cloth, heavy carpeting and maroon napkins (or did they really?). But I strongly believe young Indians want something beyond this stereotypical interpretation of "overseas, mid-range Indian restaurant". Going out for an Indian dinner can be simultaneously modern and satsifying, as Krishna 13 demonstrates. The decor is kitschy and lively (insist on being seated in the back-room) and the host was a fabulously suited Indian man. The music in the background is Indian in flavor while making an effort to be modern. I like how the food was tasty, but not overly rich. The chicken biryani was excellent - the naans were decent, the paneer tikka dry but the specially-ordered palak vegetables light and fresh. The butter chicken too, was light for a notoriously heavy dish. The elaichi tea that crowned our meal was very satisfying. Overall, I like how Krishna 13 strikes the balancing act of pleasing my pretty-traditional mother and the not-that-traditional me in one stroke. Will visit again when I'm in Rome! read more

This restaurant had the best Indian food I have ever tasted. The owners were very courteous and even converted the bill into dollars so we could avoid the credit card service charge for currency exchange. The food was reasonably priced for the quality and taste. Every morsel contained different spices and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Rome. As an added bonus, this restaurant has a great ambiance due to the tasteful decoration. read more

Food was just excellent but portions were small. Coming from Texas - like they say everything is big in Texas. We had no reservation and they were still very nice to accommodate us but gave us 30 minutes since it was a reserve table. Vicky was the helper and was very nice. Food came out in a jiffy and we were done in 30 minutes even after a reorder. Great decor and exceptionally great food. Better then what I have had at some good restaurants in the US. Highly recommended !! read more

Beware of this place!! One of the most horrible experience. You stand at their door and they refuse to give you food. The restaurant was empty and was no near to closing hours. Who would want to go to a place where they don't know to treat a customer .. read more

Simply superb! Great service, very clean restaurant, great authentic decor, and best of all, friendly service . Truly deserve their stars. Lovely food. Will recommend highly to all friends. Always a great indication when the local Indian community eat here! read more

The most horrible experience being an Indian denied food by a fellow Indian . Was denied food stating they would serve food only to a group even though restaurant was completely empty read more

An Indian restaurant dressed in great decor with a limited menu, customized to meet Roman palettes. The spiciest dish they had was hardly spicy, and I found myself missing Moharaj from Madrid. It is good, but not great. If this is Rome's best, then a lot of folks are missing out. read more

Pure deliciousness!!! As strange as it sounds, this was the best meal during our 2 week stay in Italy! They have great Indian food here, we had the chicken tikka masala and the butter chicken and they were both delicious. Very reasonably priced, easy to get to, and I highly recommend it! read more

We were in Rome for 5 days and had overdone famous pizza and pasta spots, so searched for an Indian restaurant. It's a 20 minute walk from Colosseum so we had a good appetite by the time we reached around 8 pm. Usually in Europe dinner time is later than america so the restaurant was empty! to our surprise the host asked if we have a RESERVATION?! we said we didn't, but he gave us a table anyway as his next res was at 9.30. We ordered grilled paneer tikka for appetizer. it was decent, came with a lot of salad, but the sauces(three) with it were too good! For main course we ordered malai kofta and chana masala which was cooked to perfection with garlic naan. Being an Indian i am usually very critical about my food outside india, but i give this place a thumbs up! Our order came quickly and it left us full and happy :) By 9.00 pm all other tables were full , so we were glad we made it early !!!!! I wonder why people have given this place a bad review because restaurant was full, but it's true they get really busy around 9, SO MAKE A RESERVATION PLEASE BUT DONT MISS THIS PLACE IN ROME! read more

Worst Customer Service! To start with - I am an indian and based in new york visiting rome for few days. I found this restaurant and amidst all the italian food, I started craving indian and I yelped and found this restaurant. So I reserved restaurant for 8:45 and someone from restaurant whatsapped me saying they can do it only by 9:15 even when reservation was at 8:45 but since me and my wife both so much wanted to have indian , we said its okay at 9:15 and replied back on whatsapp. We reach at 9:15 and waiting to be seated, person from restaurant says - ' Sir your reservation was for 8:45 , i was blown and i showed hom whatsapp which he acknoweledged and said i missed on reading your whatsapp . But just after us a foreign couple came and they made them sit. This tipped me and my wife off since if being an indian restaurant you do not know how to treat people then sorry to say this is the worst service on how to handle customers. They were just biased to foreign people and i totally knew it since I have been in US for so long and know how it means to give good service to people. Ignore it if you are an indian and expect a fair service . Just Ridiculous! read more

Food is very delicious. ..me and my wife after several weeks of Italian pizza n pasta had pleasure to have indian food; surprisingly great decor top class plus great service n food...if you are looking out little indian place with cozy and tasty place.call for KRISHNA! ! read more

WORST FOOD EVER. I am so scarred from this experience that I won't be able to eat meat for who knows how long. My sister and I were missing Indian food while we were in Rome and we were excited to satisfy our cravings at this place. The decorations were great and the service was normal but when we got out food, we were immediately dissapointed. The madras chicken and lamb dishes were both very undercooked so we told the waiter that the chicken was undercooked and he took it back and gave us chicken Tikka masala instead ( which we didn't even order...). We know the restaurant is busy but they still need to have the decency to cook the meat well. They just gave us something that they already had for their convenience instead of caring about what the customer ordered. The chicken tikka masala was not only undercooked AGAIN but there was a long strand of hair in it that ended up In my mouth. I was so disgusted that I lost my appetite and we left most of the food untouched. When the waiter asked how the food was, we told him that there was hair in the food and he responded, "oh sorry". We thought he would at least tell the chef or manager about our experience but instead he brought us the bill for the full amount ( even for the chicken which was disgusting both times). It seems that they do not have any sense of customer service or shame for that matter. We regret paying for the meal without a fight now but we were really tired and too agitated to deal with it. So just letting all of you know so you don't make the same mistakes as us. read more

While in Rome for 4 days took a break from Italian food found this place went to try this restaurant it was little far from main area but worth going there very good food and good service read more

Just got turned away from the restaurant. No explanation given. No wait time given. I am an indian and the The Indian host looked at me for 2 secs and just flat out told me there is no space. I think I was just racially profiled read more

So I'm Indian and we were visiting Roma for a few days, We ordered some food and the portions for the appetizers were tiny, I mean, we ordered some bhuji's and as a party of 2 we literally got a plate full of leaves and 2 bhuji's on top... like wtf? The food didn't taste too great either it was really bland tbh. Don't order the mutter paneer, the paneer was dry and hard and the gravy was watery and tasteless. The naan was okay. They really need to open a Sarvanabhavan in Rome ffs... i miss that shit fr tho. read more

We sought out this Indian Restaurant, because we were disappointed in the Italian food we had been getting and we were so glad we found it. They don't open until 7 pm I believe, but we kept coming back we ate at Krishna 13 4 times in the 3 weeks we were in Italy. The food is excellent, and the ambience is nice, the restaurant and toilets were very clean, and the service is good. The food was very tasty, not quite as spicy as we are used to, but delicious. The portions were good sized, and if I recall the prices were very reasonable. We loved this place. It is down a side street, not far from a Metro ( Vittorio Emmanuel ? ). It is tricky to find the first time, but you will be back ! read more
