Typical Indian food in Paris - Edit
Food is exactly like the one in India, which is quite rare in our western country. The menu is very large and offers vegan choices if you know them (see below for help). Food is really good but the restaurant is often full (and noisy if so), like in India. It is well located, near Gare du Nord. Because it is sometimes difficult to make you understand by the servers in French, and if you are vegan, here is a list of traditionnal vegan dishes in India (that should be vegan also in this restaurant):
Read moreDosa
Idli
Medu vada
Aloo
Gobi
Batata
Vada
Upma
Poha
Chapati
Roti
Paratha
Poori
Samosa
To be sure you will have no dairy products in what you're ordering, ask to confirm there are no:
Curd/Dahi (yoghourt)
Doodh (milk)
Makkan (butter)
Ghee (clarified butter)
Paneer (cheese)
Malai (cream)
Raita (yoghourt sauce)
Lassi (drink with yoghourt).
Pros: typical indian food, many choices, affordable
Cons: sometimes crowded, beware if you're vegan

Pretty good Indian food - Edit
We arrived at this place on a very busy night when it was almost full, nonetheless the waiter found a table for us.
Read moreWe ordered a Masala dosa, some rice and curry plates and a dessert from the extensive menu. The dosa was great and good value compared to the curry options, which seemed a little underwhelming for €10 per small-ish dish. The Biryani rice was good.
Service was a bit chaotic although may be understandable given the popularity of the place. There was some mis-understanding when trying to order in English, but eventually got it worked out.
Would have liked to have had a few more options on the dessert menu.
Pros: Lots of menu options for vegetarians, Reasonably authentic tasting, Dosas are great
Cons: Service a bit chaotic, Curry dishes a little over-priced

vegan??? - Edit
I am amazed that there is so much appreciation. The waiter didn't get the message when I asked for vegan - en francais "vegetalienne" and I ended up with a plate of about 8 different little pots of sauces including 3 with dairy things! Paid 15 euros. I do not recommend this place.
Read morePros: fast service i.e. everything is prepared
Cons: no vegan dish

Good Indian - Edit
I had just arrived at Gare de Nord and knew I was near little India. I was craving Indian so I went to this restaurant. Service was great. The place was full at 10 at night. The food was good. It was not the best aloo gobi I've ever had. It was a bit expensive, but I understand that's how it is with vegetarian and vegan restaurants especially cuisine from a different country. With so many Indian restaurants try many, but if you want to go to a strictly vegetarian one, this is your place.

Cons: expensive, good not great Indian

authentic Indian in Paris - Edit
I ate at a Saravana Bhavan in Malaysia. This was the same, menu almost identical. Great Southern Indian fare, especially the dosa.

Very close to Gare du Nord. Friendly, efficient service, extensive menu. Mixed vegetable curry with plain rice 12 euros - cheaper lunch options available. Recommended.

Mmmm, wonderful! - Edit
First things first, this restaurant is a good choice if you don't speak French. An English menu is available and several of the waitstaff, to varying degrees of ability, speak English as well. They're very friendly and not at all impatient.
Read moreThe food here was wonderful and came out quickly. Perfectly spiced, totally rich, and reasonably priced. The rice doesn't come with your meal, you have to order it on the side (seems to be normal in Europe).
The restaurant's decor is lovely and lux, but be warned that you may be sitting very very close to other people.
Very convenient to Gare du Nord station.
Pros: good prices, great taste, friendly staff

Delicieux ! - Edit
First visited when it opened, pretty disappointed. After reading many enthusiastic reviews over the last months, I gave it a second chance and it was very good. I was warmly welcomed and had finely cooked fresh Indian vegetarian food, Southern style. It is conveniently located aside from Gare du Nord train station.

Cons: Unvegan
