It's our last day and we thought to search for an Indian restaurant for some spicy food and we…read morefigured this place was nearby where we stayed.. So walked to the restaurant and the reception was amazing, we ordered food thinking it will take a lot of time but, excellent service, amazing food...Madras chicken curry is really spicy and that's what we were looking for after having crepes and croissants... Delicious biriyani and kids enjoyed naan and chicken tikka masala and mango juice while we adults had red wine and kingfisher beer.. If this picture tells you the real story... Then one must visit here while you're in Paris

I decided to visit again, since I had such a good experience the first time. And I can confirm that…read morethe good experience is the norm here. This time I tried the Chicken Briyanis, « poulet mijoté avec du riz et des épices traditionnelles », which also comes with raita. It's a lot of food, and it's all great. He is evidently tri-lingual, a feat which (coming from someone who is struggling to become bi-lingual) is astounding. I also think it is nice that he spends his "idle time" out on the sidewalk, greeting the passer-bys. It makes him a known figure in the community and hopefully makes the pedestrians take note of his restaurant.

Great food and nice owners/workers, very honest people. Can get very busy and crowded, located in…read morethe Indian/Pakistani restaurant area near Gare du Nord.

Solid 3.5, but rounding up to 4 because it's better than average (and the cheese paratha bumped it…read moreup). 100% vegetarian and Indian food. The pictures on the menu do not necessarily match up with the entree it is next to. Ate palak paneer and butter paneer for dinner with side of parathas, and an extra cheese paratha. Palak paneer left much to be desired, was a little low on the flavor side. Butter paneer was much better, a little sweeter, and had a coconut flavor coming through. The plain parathas were thick and fluffy, great for sopping up sauces. The cheese paratha was really my star of the show- it was a kinda of Brie/cream cheese filling that was gooey on the inside. Somehow, it really brought extra flavor out in the entrees. We arrived at an opportune time, so we didn't wait, but we were the last to arrive before the rush. After us, there was a constant wait and solo customers were seated in any available space, even with other guests. This did not impact us. The staff did not rush any of the guests to turn over tables and accommodate the rush. The food seemed to be made upon request and the staff was constantly moving and serving. In sum, if you are a vegetarian, looking for relatively cheap and tasty Indian food, don't mind a divey/crowded atmosphere, definitely check this place out- it clearly gets a lot of hype.

You get plenty of food for 17 euros. I was absolutely stuffed leaving there. Most everything was pretty good. I really liked the rasam and curry they gave.

Everything we ordered was delicious: butter chicken, chicken korma, biyrani, matar paneer, cheese naan, garlic naan, vegetable samosa. The kicker : La fourchette offers 40% off Monday through Thursday. We ordered apps, mains, rice, naan, and drinks all for 17 euros a person! I can't wait to go back!

I am lactose intolerant. I order food with explicit instructions "NO BUTTER PLEASE". They still…read moregive me two orders of rice with butter. When I get them on the phone they confirmed it had butter, then started blaming me, saying I should have known better. They claimed putting butter in rice is normal, but I have probably been to more Indian restaurants than the people who work there and I *never* have this problem. Fortunately I noticed after only taking a few bites, but they could seriously injure someone. They don't care. If you have any dietary needs, don't expect them to accommodate. They may make your food with something you tell them NOT to use, then blame you for the error. Such was my experience.

Chicken varuval(poulet varuval) is a must try.

I wanted a quick healthy lunch close to home and decided to stop in here with my vegetarian friend…read more She had the plat du jour which was rice with fresh vegetables, tofu and goji berries in a coconut sauce (I think), and I had the vegetarian biryani which was a mixed rice and lentil dish with carrots, zucchini, fennel (and probably other vegetables) in a light sauce topped with crunchy almonds. The meal was delicious and fresh, and good value for money. Service was also great, they even have us a free little cup of fresh pressed juice - a nice touch to add to an already yummy meal.
