You can eat at the bar, in the traditional central room or in the private sliding door lounges, sitting cross-legged in Japanese style.

This address far from any tourist site is a nugget. You won't find any tourists, except those who, like us, have adopted this small restaurant full of Indian families by reading Le Petit Futé. No superfluous decoration, but everything is clean and the service attentive. We recommend the Fish lemon, the tholpetty chicken Masala. If you don't like it too spicy, tell the waiter anyway and he will be able to recommend the good dishes or ask the chef to go more moderately. To be sprinkled with Magic dancing tea!

Among the sixty or so restaurants in the Quartier de la Mer, this is probably the best and one of the few that serves alcohol. Indian restaurant with contemporary revisits, the chef Parshant Chipkan does not hesitate to find his inspiration in African and South American cuisine.
