The best Indian restaurants Midi-Pyrénées

Early restoration in Nîmes is a family business, as the managers are the children of the Ganesh restaurant (Rue Porte-de-France). the choice, doughnuts or chicken (pakora), laminated triangle with small peas (samoussa), stew of chickpeas (rajma), basmati rice… The famous cheese galette, this unleavened wheat cake, which makes a rich chicken sandwich, has the symbol. The tandoori oven for cooking is present in the kitchen as well as cardamone seeds for tea. Not too spicy, the formula at € 8 would be well balanced if there were a little more raw vegetables. Everything is served hot in packs or wrapped in aluminium. Since the expansion of the small room, you can eat in the snack if you find room on rare tables. Welcome the good idea of these exotic dishes to take, until the soft carrot cake (gajrella).

A true invitation to travel, the Palais de Indra - Gandhi - has discovered in a traditional Indo-Pakistan framework refined all the wonders of the cuisine of these regions. In addition to Biryani and curries, the specialty of the house is the Tandoori: meat marinated in soft spices and then toast in clay oven called Tandoori, a soft and scented delight to wish. We also loved lamb with spinach and spices with homemade bread - nan - sometimes cheese, vegetables or simply nature. The beautiful variety of vegetables, rice and other lenses is also a real treat. Please note that the hotel also offers vegetarian menus, for which India has a Secret.

Let's say right away, the great advantage of Marco Polo is to serve late in the evening, until 23 a. m. in the week, which is rare in Nîmes. Otherwise, the melting pot served here is well appreciated by the happy bands that eat outside in the narrow Fresco street as soon as it is good. In the footsteps of Marco Polo, we travel from India to Italy for cheap times. Honest and hearty pizzas, but no longer, dominate the hot colours of this restaurant, where the "forced" photos of camarguaises and bullfighting races are well displayed at the walls. Indian dishes, curry, byriani, pakora are also plentiful, unless you prefer a toast. If you are two, instead of taking a pizza (10 €) and a nice salad (9 €), can share a pizza and salad with choice. For 10 € per person, each will have its plate topped with half pizza and half of raw vegetables. No beast! Led by Pakistanis débonnaires, reception and service is young and friendly for a very dynamic clientele.

Looking for its place between the quick snack or the real restaurant, this new address decided not to decide right away. So there is between the two formulas. For example, the large stainless steel pool offers good family cuisine in the south and north of India. If you come from noon or evening, the dishes are more or less filled, that's all! Between noon and 14 p. m., noon, the choice of the buffet plate focuses on tandoori chicken and lamb, byriani rice, ragouts corail puree, caraway spinach purée. Nothing very original, but very good. In the evening, even choice in the formula at € 14, served in larger quantities and other passage to the authorized buffet. A few more homemade specialities such as idlirs (rice patties and fermented lenses) or eggplant doughnuts. The desserts are in addition but we must not forget to taste the blé wheat semolina very subtle. The service is at the table in a very cosy atmosphere for a snack!

Near the Semaphore and the Prolé, this Indian restaurant is the perfect relaxing place, the little Zen space where dinner after a film or concert. Here after 22 p. m., you are still receiving a smile and without pressing. Typical dishes from Northern India such as biryani (chicken, fish, shrimp, lamb or vegetables…) are cooked with rice in sauce sauce. To savour its finesse, taste basmati rice nature, just sauté oil and cardamom. All vegetarian dishes, the soup of lentils (dhal), potato curry, green beans, spinach (aloo palaak) are associated with the famous Nan, the white flour that the French appreciate to the cheese. The nan with vegetables is more subtle in the mouth. The waitress in shimmering sari, her magnetic smile, Indian classical music offers an authentic change. At the walls, a permanent exhibition of the travel images of a young Nîmois in the 60 s and memories of a mythical India that the Ganesh, in all simplicity, did not betray. Le Petit Ganesh, rue Off is a snack of Indian specialities, held by the son of the house.

Around the Semaphore, in this Quartier/Porte de France area, where the world's cuisines come closer, Nîmes shows a beautiful cosmopolitan face. In front of the Ganesh, the Rajput is the other good Indian restaurant, Rajasthan exactly, even if the boss is Pakistani. Here you will also be greeted after 22 h with a smile. The map offers a rich list of typical dishes, many white meats, skewers, tandooris, spicy fish, seafood or vegetarian plates (from 8 €). Everything is colourful and reasonably recorded. Naans in cheese, patties of the French, are made on site, such as chapatti, bread without leaven in full wheat, accompanied by dall (pink coral lenses at curry & coco), chicken to cashew-ginger, madras lamb or le tikka. One day you can taste the royal biriani, a sumptuous mixture of shelled crustaceans, vegetables and rice end to the 27 spices. A 29 €, the dish, you will have for your taste buds! In the summer, a few tables on the perpendicular sidewalk take advantage of the culinary journey and live music from the Prolé!
