I've eaten Indian all over the world. England, America, Japan, all over Europe, and even in India itself. I'm a big fan, and it's probably my favorite cuisine. This Indian restaurant, which sits right on the beach in old-town Javea, is a real gem. It has started to suffer business since a Thai restaurant opened up right next door, but I don't think I could ever pull myself away from this place to go to the almost-always busier Thai restaurant. This is some of the best Indian food I've ever had outside of India itself.
On top of that, the owner and staff are tremendously friendly, offer great, polite service, and do very well to remember their return-customers. I rarely experience such kind, friendly service.
I highly suggest the Chicken Tikka Masala, and they can make it to any spice level that you prefer. I've tried the regular, the Madras level, and the Vindaloo level. The Naan bread is fantastic, and Cobra beer goes down well (as any Brit knows).
If you're in the area, go to this restaurant. Whether you love Indian food, aren't sure about it, or have never had it before, you will not be disappointed. It's also extremely good value. There are no downsides, and the view is spectacular in the evening.
4 stars (standard) - 0 (nothing bad) + 1 (excellent food, great view, wonderful service) = 5 stars. read more
