    This restaurant definitely deserves more attention. Very delicious food. My prawn soup and cheese Naan were finger licking good. The grilled tiger king prawn with rice was tasty as well. Great Value/Price proposition. Friendly waitress. Overall, a wonderful place to enjoy nice Indian cuisine.

    Amazing food, Amazing service. The staff go all out to make the experience a good one. I would suggest booking a table as there are limited seats, but this simply makes it that much more sought after. Lunch menu deals are also a steal.

    Went to this restaurant for a date, and the restaurant is very small and cute, feels cozy, we were able to chat without much noise. The staff was really nice and the food was great! The portions are generous and everything is very well prepared. We got the cheese naam and that was quite the highlight of the food in my opinion! My date said “Fantastic” I asked for things that weren’t spicy and even though one part of the dish was spicy, I didn’t feel like it was too bad, it actually got a nice contrast with the cheese naam (that I dipped on it) I really recommend this place and I am looking forward to go again <3 Prices seemed okay as well. The region around has lots of Indian restaurants, but this one is the one I found most attractive (reviews & pics) Absolutely delicious !!!

    No spice, very little flavour. Other reviews said best in Lisbon. Don't know what they are talking about, if this is the best. Well done bother.

  • 4/5 Pedro S. 6 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    I am not the biggest fan of Indian cuisine but while I chose a quite basic dish, it was very good and tasty. My friends, who are lovers of Indian cuisine, did love it. The space is quite embracing and very cultural and the service fast.

  • 2/5 Jagadish P. 4 years ago on Google
    We tried this place during our tour to Lisbon. We came with great expectation going by the reviews. We tried the vegetarian and non vegetarian thali. The vegetable curry served in both meals was cold and tasted stale. We even conveyed the same to the staff. The basmati (Jeera) rice and lentil soup tasted great and were the saving grace for the night. Chicken curry was very bland. Overall it was a disappointing experience.

    Small place with delicious food. Everything is prepared and served with dedication and simpathy with always a smile. The food is really tasty, there is only one person serving so it might take a bit but it is worthy. The prices are not cheap but the experience is positive and good. I recommend it.

    (Translated by Google) A very clean small Indian and Nepalese restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. Very delicious and tasty dishes. They comply with all safety and hygiene standards. The prices of the dishes are between 8 € and 16 €. It has vegetarian cuisine.

    Very good plates, inexpensive. The street is in a local neighborhood, not touristic. If you like spicy and like Indian food, a must-go. But hard to find tables (its a small place).

  • 1/5 Ovidiu O. 2 years ago on Google
    Ideal for tourists: fake Indian food, huge menu, cheapest ingredients, not fresh. I should add, very arrogant owner, too, judging by his reply. No Mr. Leo, my review is as genuine as you can get. I know good Indian food very well and yours cannot be compared to it. If I were you, instead of bashing and offending reviewers, I would understand what went wrong and try to do better.

    What a surprise, this little gem in Anjos is the proper place to eat a good Nepalese meal. The food is unbelievable and you have a vast selection. The service was fantastic. There are not many tables, book before you come. I’ll be back fore sure.

    From the first moment till the last, this was a fantastic and rememberable experience. Incredible food, superb service, great price and a charming atmosphere. The menu is enormous and slightly overwhelming however there is certainly something for everyone. After a long and difficult day I was taken care of and very thankful. An absolute must!!

  • 5/5 Boss S. 8 months ago on Google • 91 reviews
    Great food and interesting atmosphere. We went in for a quick bite on a Sunday. A lot of funny and quirky 🤪 signs around the restaurant. Their Naan bread is amazing and so is the chicken korma. They have these metal plates that they heat up with a live 🔥 right in front of you. Thought it was an interesting value add to our experience.

  • 3/5 Ben F. 2 years ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Average quality food for the price. We tried Garlic Naan, chicken curry and fried rice. Unfortunately, we had a experience that the fried rice was not clean and found a hair in it. The owner, however, apologized and replaced it. The curry was tasty but it was less quantity and contained more oil or butter than the real flavor from spices.

  • 4/5 Thomas 5 months ago on Google • 44 reviews

    Fantastic spot in the Anjos area - I’m so glad that I came upon this place when craving Indian food for our last meal in Lisbon. I ordered the vegetable monos and biryani and both were generously portioned and delicious. Take out service was also great, they were so kind there. I wish I could have done another meal there to try their Thali plates and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Lisbon.

  • 4/5 Yee Thu A. 2 years ago on Google
    The dishes are tasty and gives authentic vibe. The waitress is very helpful. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant too since it has lots of souvenirs and decorations from different countries but since the restaurant is too small, the tables are too close to each other.

  • 5/5 Alan D. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful interior. Great Food. 👌

  • 1/5 Daniëlla G. 2 years ago on Google
    They are nice but the food is not authentic. Response to owner: don't understand the aggressive response. The food was bland and below expectations given the reviews and my experiences with Indian food, (I have traveled in India and have Indian friends.) so yes, I probably could cook food with more depth and layers of flavor, and fresh.

  • 1/5 Alex 3 years ago on Google
    Incredibly overpriced for what you get. They use cheap ingredients and the food tastes bland. Response to owner: Thanks for your response. I ordered a shrimp curry, and the portion size was very small. I don't expect to get these small shrimps you would find in a cheap salad. Maybe your other items are different, but this dish was underwhelming to me, that's my opinion.

  • 5/5 Nelou L. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Irena M. 10 months ago on Google
    Very satisfied! I recommend the mango sauce, it is very delicate and delicious. The waiter was nice and overall the service was very speedy. It is placed in a calm area and as a plus, they have original dining set which I appreciated a lot. Definitely worth to try.

  • 3/5 D P. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was good, but i feel the prices were a bit high for the serving size you receive. My lamb dish only had five small pieces of lamb in it, and the rest was sauce. For 15€ i dont feel that's acceptable.

  • 1/5 Viktor G. 3 years ago on Google
    Small portions and relatively pricey. In addition 1,5h wait makes this a 1 Star visit. Food was good tho.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good restaurant. Especially the Thali Plate (lamb) and the Naan bread with almonds and honey was very delicious! The waitress was kind and explained the different dishes to us. In order to shorten the waiting time of around 20min for the mains we received some bread with four different dips as a gift from the kitchen.

  • 5/5 Dominic E. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the best Indian place in the city. The service is outstanding—they care. The food is out of this world: tasty and spicy. Best yet, the price is unreal. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Joachim D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good little restaurant. Unfortunately the one star deduction, as the portions were small and we had a long wait. The food itself was super tasty, I said it was a bit spicy and it wasn't a bit spicy so if you like it, order spicy. (Original) Sehr gutes kleines Restaurant. Leider den einen Stern Abzug, da die Portionen klein waren und wir eine lange warte Zeit hatten. Essen an sich war super lecker hatte gesagt mit bisschen scharf und es war kein bisschen scharf also ruhig scharf bestellen wer es mag.

  • 4/5 Juan Jose Museros O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is small but the treatment of the staff is friendly. The food is good, and the portions are good. The price is a bit high for the average of Lisbon but if you like this type of food do not hesitate to try it. (Original) El local es pequeño pero el trato del personal es amable. La comida está buena, y las raciones están bien. El precio es un poco alto para la media de Lisboa pero si te gusta este tipo de comida no dudes en probarlo.

    (Translated by Google) Horrible service, I called to set a dinner on December 2 to December 31, had no fixed price and said that within two days they would give an answer, after a week I called again to know the price of dinner and confirm the reservation, person who attended me is nothing professional, instead of explaining situation as it should be and apologizing for waiting time no, said they do not accept reservations. And they couldn't tell you when I first called ??????????????? Had to wait a week of calling to be mistreated ??? I do not advise this horrible place, there are much better restaurants in rossio with friendly staff unlike that rude one. I wrote my comment in Portuguese so I would like to have answer in the same language, thank you (Original) Atendimento horrível, liguei para marcar um jantar no dia 2 de dezembro para o dia 31 de dezembro, não tinham preço fixo e disseram que dentro de dois dias iam dar uma resposta, passado uma semana liguei novamente para saber o preço do jantar e confirmar a reserva , pessoa que me atendeu não é nada profissional, em vez de explicar situação como deve ser e pedir desculpas por tempo de espera não , disse que não aceitam reservas. E não podiam avisar logo quando eu liguei pela primeira vez ???????????????? Tinha que esperar uma semana de chamada para ser mal tratada ??? não aconselho este sítio horrível, há restaurantes muito melhores no rossio com os empregados simpáticos ao contrário de aquela mal educada .Eu escrevi o meu comentário em português por isso gostaria ter resposta na mesma língua, obrigada
