Stopped by on a whim. Very pleased with service and of course the food. The flavors were…read moreexcellent with enough spice to enjoy yet the spice did not overpower the senses. The buttered chicken was super tender and the lamb cooked perfectly. Had papadum and Nan both were served warm and amount was excellent. If you're looking for some exotic flavors in a warm and welcoming environment give Le Karachi a try. I would definitely go again and sample other dishes.

After having Le Karachi recommended to me over and over by the locals, my husband and I finally had…read moredinner there this evening with some friends. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. I ordered the Menu Végétarien, which included an appetizer, main course, choice of nan or rôti, and rice for 17€. I selected the pakora for my appetizer, the allou palak for my main course, and the nan as my bread. Along with the appetizer, I ordered a banane lassi which was tasty. It was not overly sweet and the banana tasted fresh. The pakora was very different than what I was used to. It was a single patty on a bed of salad greens, with a piece of tomato, some cucumber, shredded carrots, and a bit of cabbage. They brought the nan out with the appetizer as well, along with three choices of chutney: a yogurt-based sauce, a pepper jam, and some spicy pickled eggplant. I liked the pepper jam the best and spread it on the nan and the pakora. The allou palak was not very interesting. The spinach tasted overcooked, the potatoes were just boiled, and it wasn't spicy at all. My husband's palak paneer was a bit tastier but for some reason it was not an option on the vegetarian menu. (The other options were dal and a mixed vegetable dish.) For dessert, I ordered the framboisine which was my favorite part of the entire meal. It was strawberry sorbet, nougat ice cream, shaved coconut, strawberry sauce, and pistachios. I savored every bite. I might give this place a second shot but I wasn't that impressed with my first trip there. After the lassi and dessert, my bill came out to almost 30€ and I didn't think the food was worth that amount of money.

If they could increase their offerings and offer plain rice with their entrees as most Indian restaurants do, this would be a restaurant to contend with.

While having a pleasant evening walk in the vieux Lyon we pulled up Yelp and looked for a nearby Indian. We ended up at royal Indian and had a pleasant surprise. Despite fact that they ran out of the meat samosas the main dish was delicious and truly spicy ( read the French don't eat spicy so it's rare to find) . it was quiet busy and there was only one staff person serving but she was extremely friendly..... Will be back here....
