Nandanam is undoubtedly red hot in Lausanne. Maybe it's because I'm so overexposed to excellent Indian food back in Los Angeles, but I wasn't impressed as the crowd and line implied I should be.
Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
It's for sure congested in Nandanam, and the place was absolutely packed on a Saturday evening. We ended up waiting thirty minutes for a seat, and from there the service was great. Star.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
Lausanne is expensive - very very expensive, but even several days of meals before this didn't prepare me to pay 29,00 CHF for a medium portion of curry with sides. That's too much money any way you cut it. No Star.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
This was undoubtedly a good dish.The curry, the rice, the side chutney - it was all good, but it wasn't anything incrementally better over what I've had elsewhere across the US and Europe. The curry itself didn't pop and lacked a decent portion of chicken, the rice was fine, and the side was just neutral. Single Star.
Star 5: Would you be excited to go back?
My experience was a good one, but I wouldn't jump at the opportunity to go back. No Star. read more
