Seating inside or outside this is very close to the main rail station and one of the squares in downtown Helsinki. Service was very fast and helpful.

One of them met us at the table with some warm papadum. I ordered a Nepalese beer. The menu is extensive yet modestly priced, and the portions generous. We considered the "menu for two" but opted for separate main dishes since it sounded like too much food for our appetites. I had the lamb tikka masala (the exact name from the menu escapes me). It had a lot of flavor and I really enjoyed it. The decor and restrooms here could use some work. All in all, a great experience here for ethnic food in Helsinki. I'd love to visit again if I'm in Taka-Töölö with spicy hunger! Great value here -- excellent price meets quality. Bring your appetite!

We arrived early, around 6:00 p.m. and were the second table there. The restaurant began filling with walk-in customers about one hour later. We received two papadams for an amouse-bouche and ordered the veggie samosas to split. They were sizable samosas, one each, and the potato/pea filling was hearty and pungent. They were served with a small salad and two dipping sauces, one with a hint of spice and one savory. Hubby ordered the Mountain Chicken special, and I got the Chilli Paneer. First, the portions were HUGE. We regretted ordering an appetizer when we saw the amount of food in the main dishes! Both were served with a large portion of rice, small salad, plain naan, a bean side dish, and something I can only compare to raita -- although this was slightly sweet with a hint of cardamom (a must-try sauce!). The chilli paneer was not entirely like similar Indian dishes because the initial taste on the tongue was tangy and tomato-y, but the finish was a slow burn. Definitely not the three-pepper level of spice advertised on the menu, but eating in spice-averse Northern Europe, you can automatically adjust the stated spice level down a pepper or two from what the menu indicates. Hubby finished with a beer, and I had the obligatory Finnish "Original" Long Drink. The waiter offered tea for dessert, but we were far too full to contemplate eating more! Menu with prices is posted online, so check out Mountain if you're looking for Indian-inspired food with a twist.

I notice that doesn't always go over well here. Too bad. On that note, Satkar is by far and away the closest thing to the REAL Indian food I grew up with in San Francisco, the land of cheap, delicious, authentic ethnic foods. Satkar is like the best of both worlds: outstanding and authentic Indian food at dirt cheap prices at lunch time (€8.50 for lunch deal - main, side, raita, rice, salad bar, and potato salad or special salad of the day), fantastic service, and a really lovely and comfortable interior. The Aloo Ghobi and Chicken Tikka Masala exceeded all expectations and the service is quite honestly among the best I've enjoyed in Helsinki in 2 years. Smiles, conversation, a genuine interest in whether or not we enjoy our meal...where am I!?!?!? Since moving here, I've been unhappy with the lack of really good Indian cuisine but Satkar has changed all of that. Satkar is now in my Top 5 favorite places to eat in Helsinki. Outstanding! Bravo! Even if the food was just ok, I'd come back again and again for the wonderfully warm customer service alone. Thanks for making me feel at home and thanks for filling my belly with the best saag aloo ghobi I've had in 5 months or so.

I ordered a chili chicken which comes with rice, a green salad, and some raita (yogurt dip). While waiting for my order, I got to enjoy some complimentary papad (fried crisps) with dips - a very nice touch, I must say. Was the chili chicken very authentic - probably not, but was it fresh and tasty - definitely yes. It didn't really have chilis and wasn't very hot, but had a nice kick to it. It was a lot of food for one person, but because my hotel did not have a refrigerator, I decided to finish the plate and go back with a very full yet very satisfied tummy.

It was a little weird at first because both of us just wanted small plates, so we could sample a few things instead of spending near 20 euro for just one dish. The waiter suggested we get one main course since it came with bread and rice and salad, whereas we weren't allowed to just order rice separately. We thought it was really strange and went back and forth about it for a while. In his defense, we both thought it was probably a management thing being strict about a trivial rule. The waiter was super nice about it, though.. and in the end we were granted a bowl of rice on the side. The dishes themselves were delicious! We were very happy with our meal, so I think it's a worthwhile stop if you're in the city and in the mood for Nepalese. But.. order a main, I guess. o_o

The server was friendly and greeted us at the table with menus and a plate of papadum. To drink, I ordered a Khukhuri Nepalese lager. Their food menu is quite extensive. The chicken soup starter was hearty and surprisingly spicy. Naan bread accompanied the main dish: Khasi ko Masu. Google tells me it's traditionally a Nepalese dish prepared with goat, but this one substitutes lamb. The curry, tomato, coriander sauce was tasty and not too spicy. Finished off the meal with an ice cream and caramel sauce dessert -- not incredibly inspiring, but hey it's ice cream. One critique is that Gurans seems to be frequented by a strictly drinking-only crowd -- I reckon because there aren't that many bars in this area. So it can get rather rowdy, accompanied by shouting and inappropriate language. Keep that in mind if you have minors in your party. I'm kind of on the fence about the rating, but for me the value at Gurans bumps it up a notch. With generous portion sizes and flavorful, reasonably priced meals, I look forward to my next visit!
