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.

Since we arrived in Lyon about 2 years ago we basically were told that there is no reasonable…read moreIndian in Lyon. This must have been a mistake. 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....

(Last visited 11/11/2021.) So while hanging out in Lyon for a couple of weeks on business my…read morecoworker found this place via some Google'ing and I am so elated that he did! Let me tell you why I paid this place a visit twice in 3 days! Atmosphere/Appearance: Right among the cobblestone streets in the surrounding downtown area is this gem. It's a lil' hidden and is only distinguishable by either looking through the big windows or the lil' sign that hands right above the stone archway. The interior design carries in that older European architecture that's present right on the outside. There's lots of stone everywhere, big picture frames, a small bar at the back of the restaurant and the see-in kitchen to the left. There are only a few tables so be sure to have reservations or some good luck! Lol. Service: Stéfane (@stf_nws on Instagram )is the owner/operator/chef/bartender/everything. Lol. He was SO FREAKING COOL and so chill. Despite having to literally do everything in the restaurant, he did it with a passion, with style, with flare and with love. You could just tell he put his soul into this restaurant and into this food. Food: On both of my visits I went with their big gourmet plate. I can't remember the official name of the plate, but it was gigantic. Lol. It comes with a plate FULL of smoked goodies! Beef ribs, pulled pork, sausage, chicken and the choice of 2 sides. For my sides I went with the beans and side salad. My goodness. Everything was FANTASTIC and smoked to perfection. I don't even wanna single anything out, but the ribs FLOORED me. They were so incredible juicy, smokey and full of flavor, but you can't go wrong with any of the components of this meal. Value: I can't remember the exact amount, but I believe my plate was around 35€ and absolutely worth it. In conclusion, do I even need to tell you how much I loved this place? It was intimate, tasty, affordable and gave you such a great experience. I can't wait to visit this place again!

Just walked by and decided to stop. The cute Texas style decor caught our eye. The chef/smoke…read moremaster is fun and easy going. He's the server and bartender too. He found a table for us even though the place was booked solid. Make reservations. Our meals were fantastic. The burger was a chef's creation and superb. The mixed meats plate was enormous and also superb. Don't skip his cardiac fries. Not typical fries. They're chunks of potatoes maybe fried, roasted, or sauced. I don't know. But they were magical. Don't skip them. Not much English is spoken, so we muddled through with Google translate. We ate what the chef suggested and we were thrilled. New World Smoke is a true hidden gem. Glad we found it.
