“ We decided to visit this place only after reading positive reviews. Most of the time when we visit a restaurant after referring Google reviews we find the place to be a good one. It is a small place maximum for 25 people. It was almost full when we arrived. The food was very good specially onion bhaji and Aloo Palak. The décor was full of paintings and statues of Indian GODS on all walls which was very soothing to eyes. The service was excellent and fast. On top of all these nice things the charges were very reasonable compare to other Indian restaurants in central Paris. Worth visiting for good Indian food... ”
“ If you enjoy Indian food or have ever been curious, this is the place for you. Our server, who may also be the owner, was so helpful as we made our decisions on what to order. We are not fluent in French, and he picked up on that right away and made us feel comfortable. We had the chicken korma and chicken tikka (medium) Both were some of the best Indian food we have ever had. You will not be disappointed! ”
