Don't sleep on this awesome mom and pop Nepalese spot. Great service. Low prices. Generous portions. Lots of authentic spices. Charming indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely return. read more

Sanskar Nepal - Indian Near Me - Lisbon, 11

I pretend I'm not but I am actually a food snob. I was thinking... "good Indian food in Lisbon?" Not likely. Yes, yes the Portuguese paved the spice route. But I'm from LA. And I know good food. But I'm stunned. Each dish I tasted led to a declaration. "It was the best ever." And it was. The cheese naan, Himalayan chicken (new to me), chicken jalfrezi, so delicious I overate. Basic ambience, kind service, but the food! Sensational. read more

Amazing food and great staff! My mom and I dined in and walked in getting a table without a wait. The food was so delicious and felt like authentic Nepali food. I highly recommend this place! read more

Enjoyed their chicken tikka marsala and one of the many naan breads they offer. Simply one of the best Indian meals I've had. Seasonings were amazing; chicken was tender and delicious. Cozy space with some outdoor seating. Service was great. Dipesh and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I'll be going back to try some of their other offerings!! read more

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Best Indian I have had in a long time. Highly recommend.

Goodness! This place was so good that... I forgot to take a picture (which is rare). My friend and I ordered the chicken tikki masala, mixed biriyani, samosa, and mixed naan. I tend to stray from Indian type food because it often feels hit or miss but had several friends recommend this place and honestly was probably my favorite meal in lisbon. It was amazing. They offered a cracker and 3 sauces at the beginning of my meal and the mango lassi drink at the end. The prices were super reasonably priced. Had I lived here, I would be a regular at this restaurant. read more

Excellent food , great friendly service and good ambiance. Foood was delicious. We are Indusn and we're craving Indian after days of traveling. The gravy both veg and non veg was amazing. My teen girls finished it all.thank you! read more

Great food and service.....it might be a hole in the wall, but it's the best kind! Selection was great and the food was very fresh

Very tasty food. Great service. I always order veggie/vegan and the menu was very accommodating. Would go back

The most wonderful people and the food is gorgeous! They are in it to win it! My husband and I ate there at least 5 times-just lovely.

SUCH delicious and flavorful food!! Some of the best Indian food I have had. The lamb jalfrezi was very tasty and it came with rice.

I was skeptical when we approached from the outside but this restaurant far exceeded any expectations. The food was probably the best Indian food we have eaten anywhere. The staff were very polite and attentive without being overbearing. The recommendation they made was spot on. I know butter chicken is a very common but theirs was the best I have had. read more

HOLY CHICKEN. This place is probably THE best Indian restaurants I've dined at. I wish I came with a larger group so we could order everything off the menu and I could try it all. As a solo diner, I only ordered the CHICKEN EVERST ~11€ and VEGETARIAN SAMOSA ~1.50€. (still drooling as I type). The restaurant was packed when I got there about 20 minutes after it opened. It was freezing cold outside and my phone was on survival mode at 2%. One of the waiters was exceptionally nice to let me charge my phone as I waited for a seat. I'm not too familiar with Indian cuisine, so I asked what he recommended if I liked spicy and creamy stuff. He immediately gave me a couple of options & I ended up with the Chicken Everst. It's exactly what I asked for, and then some. It came with a side of rice and I was so filled after just half of it. The Vegetarian Samosa was also fried to perfection with a large filling with a plethora of spices. After I got the check, they brought out a shot glass of mango (pudding?) and it was so damn good. The waiter walked me out, asked where I was from, and bid me farewell -- which was the sweetest thing ever!! Obrigado! I will be back -- don't know when -- but I will, and I'm bringing friends/family!!!!!!!! read more

One may wonder... when visiting Portugal, why eat Nepalese food? Well, if you are in Portugal for a week or so and every meal is eaten at a restaurant, then why not try something different? This small demure restaurant is a two minute walk from the Baixa metro station. Inside it is small and cozy, with tables closely set together. This is what sets this restaurant apart; it's intimacy. The staff greet you at the doorway and do their very best to accommodate you. It's best to have reservations, however if at all possible, the friendly staff will try and find space for you. The food was beyond my expectations. As someone who has Indian roots, I know my Indian food. Nepalese food is almost the same, just with a slight twist on the traditional food one might be used to. We were served popadum upon arrival, with a plate of a trio of raita, achaar and tamarind sauce. We ordered lamb jalfrezi- extra hot and butter chicken- medium. Both were served in mini karahi's with a burner underneath. Both were scrumptious, the best I've had. The naan were served cut into quarters, served in baskets each, and a plate of steaming rice was served where each grain could be individually picked up. At the end, complimentary mango lassi shots are serve, along with candied fennel seeds. I'm blown away as to how delicious the food was. The service was impeccable. The two lovely servers were very kind and very helpful when ordering the food, making sure the food was prepared exactly how we wanted it. Overall, don't go by appearances of this small, humble restaurant. The food is outstanding and I guarantee, it will be one of the best Indian/Nepalese meals you'll have ever eaten. This is a must go when in Lisbon. read more

After having trouble finding vegetarian food for my wife in the islands, this was our first dinner in mainland Portugal. So so worth it.

Found this place by chance when the wife craved Indian food after a week of Portuguese food. Man O man. I've had Indian food in many places, but this was the best Butter Chicken I've ever tasted, nutty and slightly sweet. We scraped up every bit of the sauce with cheese and garlic naan, which was also off the charts. They were a bit slow with the food, but it is a very small place and deservedly busy. The wait staff was very attentive and courteous The small snifter of mango lassi with the check was the perfect ending read more

Showed up around 7:20pm and was told the restaurant was full, there were only 2 tables currently being used, with maybe 12 or so more available. They were going to turn us away as they said they had reservations, however asked if we could be done by 8:40pm, which was more than enough time so we agreed and sat down. Ordered naan, chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo and vegetable korma, all amazingly delicious. The waitstaff was friendly and accommodating. We were in and out by 8:30, very happy and very full, with leftovers to boot. It has been one of our best meals in Portugal and we intend to go back again, definitely recommend and make reservations to be safe, place did indeed fill up fast! read more

Genuinely only good things to say about this place. As a vegetarian, Lisbon was a bit more difficult to navigate culinarily than I'm used to. This place was a brilliant option for me, and provided a truly spectacular value for money. Don't be put off by the storefront, which doesn't look particularly inspired; try this place out, I guarantee you won't regret it. Speedy and kind service, incredibly tasty food, and the ability to eat outside on a relatively quiet street in downtown Lisbon: you just can't beat it. read more

This was the best Nepali food I've ever had. We were in Lisbon for four days, and we chose to come here twice -- even for our last meal. The Lamb Nepal and Chicken Everest were amazing, and the service is excellent. Even though it may feel weird to get non-Portuguese food when in Lisbon, you should definitely give this place a chance! read more

Very good place, I went here 3-4 times during the month that I visited. I recommend the butter chicken.

THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. Full stop. My gf and I are notoriously picky about our Indian food, and I have lived in India, and this place was VERY good. Veggie korma and chana masala were A+. Prices were also very reasonable. Thank you! read more

Came across this place right after arriving in the Lisbon (Chiado) and looking for a quick lunch. It's tucked away on a side street and doesn't look like much on the outside, but it deserves the 5-star reviews! For only 6 euros, they have a lunch menu with really generous portions that tastes amazing. Chicken, lamb, and vegetarian options with basmati rise. The interior was pretty quiet when we went with only a few others, but well decorated. The waiters were very friendly and even offered us free mango lassi at the end of the meal. All in all, you really can't go wrong here - super cheap and authentic Indian food in the heart of Lisbon. read more

Sanskar Nepal - Indian Near Me - Lisbon, 11

This was the best Nepalese food and service ever! I went with a group of friends including a friend from Kathmandu and they were super kind, hospitable and the food was phenomenal. She said it tasted like home and everything form the environment of the restaurant to the server's traditional hats is reminiscent of Nepal. Definitely would recommend highly read more

This place is pure magic! I learned to appreciate Indian food when I was living in England and this place really delivered. My friend and I stumbled on this place after another restaurant said that there was no available seating even though there was only one couple seated in the whole restaurant. The staff here was so friendly and kindly turned on the AC for us on a hot summer night. We ordered 1 veggie samosa and 1 chicken samosa, both great. We ordered butter chicken and aloo matar we also ordered two sides of garlic naan. The first bite of the butter chicken made me want to cry, it was so good. I've never had anything like it. I was in love. This may seem like an exaggeration, but for me it was transcendent. The aloo matar was fantastic as well and the garlic naan was great. My friend and I stuffed ourselves and felt happy. What made us even more happy was the price! Just 30 euros for the two of us, this included a coke and two bottles of water. The next night we totally went and got butter chicken and garlic naan for take away. This is a big compliment in a city with many amazing restaurants. I would highly suggest stopping by this fantastic eatery. read more

Sometimes you need a break from the local cuisine... It was full for dinner Tuesday night, so we tried again Thursday for lunch. There were plenty of open tables. Food is good, classic Northern Indian and Nepali. I tried the garlic naan stuffed with cheese, it was OK, but not quite my favorite. But the Chicken Khorma and Lamb Dal (similar to Dal Makhnani) were both very good. One suggestion, they should stock big bottles of sparkling water, we could have used more water even though we ordered things only 'moderately spicy' (and I'd actually call that level of heat 'mild' compared to other Indian places I've tried.) read more

I was divided if I should leave a comment as i love this place and i love that most times I can still get a free table. It's still this secret amazing option in the city center with amazing food. But it's a really good place with a very fair price so I should accept that soon enough i'll have to start making reservations. And they deserve the credit! Very good option for some asian flavours! ;) read more

We arrived five minutes before closing. We were greeted and invited in. Did not turn us away. Lucky for us. The food was incredible. The best. The service even better. read more

Truly the best indian/nepalese food we've had. This place is unbelievable. The owners/managers were so kind, and unfortunately we lost the name of the restaurant for a bit and were unable to write a review until now. We were only in Lisbon for four days and returned to this restaurant TWICE! We loved it. read more

Very tasty food, excellent service, decent portions and cash only (unless you're from Portugal I think). Place came highly recommended by a friend and I'm so glad I had a chance to check it out! We had a party of 10+ and they were able to accommodate well. All the classic dishes were ordered by the group I was with, and everyone was pleased! :) The folks even gave a little mango shake to everyone when the bill came. Prices were super reasonable, not surprises! On their business card it also says 10% off when ordering take out! read more

Delicious Indian food. The Chicken Jalfrezi was really good, and the Chicken Balti was also very tasty. Good service. Complimentary papadums as well as yummy sampling of mango lassi after the meal. Recommended! read more

This is a really good restaurant with great food and very good prices. The service is terrific as well. We had excellent samosas, and the lamb biryani was particularly good. Strongly recommend read more

Excellent service and great food. Located in a quiet safe area not too far from the nightlife area. Good place to grab a bite before a night out in Lisbon! read more
