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.
