I already told you about the "Indian quarter of Paris", located near the Gare du Nord area on the occasion of the Ganesha Celebration, but that's about it. To be honest, I very rarely go there, because what you can find in the stores is "very Indian" and I cannot really picture myself buying a Sherwani (even though some of them are really beautiful). When it comes to food however, it's a different story. That is how I ended up at Saravanaa Bhavan, a vegetarian restaurant located at 170 rue du Faubourg Saint Denis, where I had this delicious meal! (Sorry for posting late, something went wrong with the post scheduling - maybe it was me who went wrong!)
I only have one thing to say about this photo and that's Jai Ho!!
ReplyDeleteI love this ! great great great!!!
ReplyDeleteMiam miam ...!!!!
Oh I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Indian food! Lucky you! Now of course I will have to have an Indian meal pronto!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Indian food too! Explosions of flavors at every bites!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of our favorite places. It is always packed with Indians while the next door restaurant has no one! Inexpensive yet mentioned by all the foodies in their blogs. There is one in NYC but the Paris one is even better. And they speak English better than French!!
ReplyDeleteHere in the ever-widening Silicon "Valley," we have many Indian residents. This translates into many Indian restaurants from many different regions in India. Yum!
ReplyDeleteAnd may I just say that while a sherwani might be over the top, I can see you in a not-too-garishly embroidered kurta. I hear they are very comfortable, too.
Thanks for publishing a real veggie meal. Although it's not easy to find a good veggie diner in Paris, Indian and some Moroccan restaurants are really great (didn't know this one).
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, thanks for the info! I do get cravings for Indian food in Paris but have yet to venture anywhere to try.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd look quite stylish in a sherwani! (I sometimes wear a bright pink salwar kameez.)
ReplyDeleteAs for that meal, it looks deliciously, authentically Indian—worth waiting for. Miam!
I am very happy to discover this, very good to know because I end up there all the time, traveling to and from Brussels.
ReplyDeleteI am an Indian and a vegetarian, and naturally, I visit this restaurant often following my grocery shopping in that neighbourhood. Glad that you posted it.
ReplyDeleteI love Mexican,French,Thai as well as Indian food but don't expect in Paris. That is wonderful moment of my life when i find real taste of Indian food in Paris. I remind the name of the street where Saravanaa Bhavan is located and i definitely go to that place with my family next time.
