Pleasantly, they’ll also give you the option of how spicy to make your curry. Always a good sign in a city where pure heat is sometimes difficult to come by.
If you’re going at lunch time, don’t expect to get a full afternoon of work done after. The food is delightfully filling!
What’s not? The service was a little bit slow, and if you’re in a big group be very specific about your order, as the staff struggled to get the veggie dishes (there are, thankfully, lots of options) to the vegetarians at the table.
Vibe: It’s cozy and welcoming and decorated with garish Indian-themed ornaments, which help give the sense you might be in a Bengaluru curry house, rather than a dingy side street in Saint-Josse. The staff were super friendly and happy to accommodate a large party of ravenous journalists.
Who’s picking up the check? Curry, rice, a naan bread and a couple of Cobra beers will set you back between €40 and €50.
Insider tip: The restaurant initially refused to take Visa for payment, insisting on Mastercard before relenting. Be aware!
