When it is said that Le Karachi is the first Indo-Pakistani restaurant in Lyon, it is for two reasons. First, the establishment was created 35 years ago thanks to the work of Mr Ashraf, originally from Punjab. Then, because Le Karachi is undoubtedly the best restaurant in Lyon in its category. Near the Part-Dieu, lovely welcome to make us settle in one of the two tastefully decorated rooms. Crafted wood on the walls and chairs, real sculptures, a metal fountain and a perfect service that provides us with all the explanations necessary from the aperitifs to the desserts. Characteristic of this authentic Indian restaurant, they do not serve alcohol and you can enjoy Indian cuisine accompanied by tea after having sipped a fruit cocktail. To vary the pleasure, Futé was tempted by a pleasant menu Voyageur at just under €30 in order to enjoy a delicious "Mix Tandoori Spécial", assortment plate of starters, including an excellent tikka of lamb or a charcoal grilled prawns. To be followed with the Karachi chicken presented with its silver leaf (edible) or a "Fish Massala", the chef's speciality, all of them are to be eaten with a wonderful rice flavoured with spices. Fine choice of desserts with a rice pudding flavoured with cardamom or small fritters with Indian butter, sprinkled with coconut. Generous and tasty cuisine in a friendly setting, change of scenery guaranteed.
