Taste is somewhat accommodating the Swiss pallet but for Desi Indian food in Zurich this is a great option. Also the server "uncle" is very friendly. Definitely will be back here in our next visit.

This is probably the only buffet place where they insist on re-using the plate you started with…read more Highly unhygienic, over priced and namesake buffet where they hardly refill the items. Owner is an Indian and shows pure racism towards Indians. I have been to many places in US, Italy, Paris and India and never faced such a reception. He kept staring at us through out our Lunch and successfully made us uncomfortable. While an elderly person of my family was using his hands to eat (normal Indian style), he insisted upon using a spoon. Wait! Did I tell you that the table was not cleaned at all and basic cutlery was not given. All the owner is interested about is in your payment. If you are a tourist and an Indian and want to face racism, this is the place. Value for the money.

Indian food almost nonexistant in Switzerland's largest city…read more Chf20.5 for non vegetarian and chf19.5 for vegetarian AYCE Indian buffet weekday lunches in old town Zurich. Yellowish color butter chicken was decent, not too salty and not too spicy, although the chicken didn't have that fresh cooked taste. Brownish color curry chicken had a bit less flavor than the butter chicken but was tasty nevertheless. Chicken69 (right number?) was inedible as way too salty, and only big pieces of chicken not drowned in a curry sauce. Paneer dish was way too spicy. Thought it was a cooked tofu dish, when it was a cheese dish. Lentil dish was outstanding with tiny round balls of lentil in a brown sauce. Had to use the white rice to prevent the soupy dishes from cross contaminating. Would not come back for dinner at this place, as way overpriced with chf27 for butter chicken. Would come back again, but nothing special about this Indian place. No competition in Zurich Switzerland, as otherwise would have been out of business in no time back in Sunnyvale, CA.

I like it! Plus the Chicken Biryani that took over 20min to prepare as stated on the menu. But it was tasty and served in a deep dish baked in the oven covered with what appeared to be more like. Pita bread rather than an Indian Naan. This was just ok for me. The service was also good given that the place was really jammed up full until out 8pm. I sort got lucky to get seated right away without a reservation.

Excellent Indian food!…read more I had the Beef Vindaloo (as I love spicy food). It was good and spicy all by itself. However, I also asked for some extra hot sauce. Which I really recommend to use very sparingly. It was hot as hell, and sooo good. My boyfriend had the Lamm Biryani and said "this is one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life." All was scarfed down with a few portions of Garlic Naan (which I would happily eat every day). Malabar is just further proof of the fact that Oerlikon has amazing restaurants!

I ordered the chicken menu instead and she just kept filling the bowl with rice and veggies and daal. Loved it! Because to me Indian food is about different flavors. But when you go to a fancy Indian place you pay for chicken, saag spinach, cabbage, pumpkin curry, lentil daal, and sometimes even rice all separate and you end up with a huge bill. Here I got everything for 12 bucks in one serving to go. That made me happy. Pumpkin curry was delicious, so was everything else. No seating, to go only. But there is a park close by at Helvetiaplatz. Or even closer Zeughaus.

Excellent food, great service, and fantastic value!…read more I'm extremely cheap, so eating out is often painful and disappointing. India Street Food was one of the best food experiences I had while traveling through most of western Europe. I stayed near this restaurant and came across it by chance, hungry and without the right currency. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave me a large portion, which was great since my family and I had been traveling for most of the day. The owner even threw in a free pakora type thing for free seeing that I had a toddler with me. The food was delicious. All three dishes that we tried were tasty, although I liked the vegetarian dishes best, even though I love my meats. I would go back in a heartbeat and if I'm ever in Zurich, I will make deliberate effort to get to India Street Food.
