Best place to have Indian food in Lyon. Staff is courteous and owner is friendly . Food is prepared as per French pellet. But you can spice up to your taste .. Must visit place.

A nice small restaurant in the downtown of Lyon. It came up as #1 in Lyon on tripadvisor, so we gave it a try. First of all, they mostly offer vegetarian buffet, so if you want a customised meal the only option is to order something non-veg. The buffet is quite vast with lots of options for tasty starters, curries, rice and sweet dishes. The taste of food items in the buffet is good but little underwhelming for the authentic Indian taste. The add on tandoori chicken was awesome. Having a lot of sweet dishes in the buffet was generous and they all tasted really good. The owner is a very friendly and warm person as well as the other staff. The only small suggestion would be to talk little bit less so that people don't have to queue to pay. Overall a nice experience.

As an Indian who has lived abroad for several years, I was shocked to find Palak Paneer without ANY paneer in it. I understand spice levels cannot be at Indian level but how can you serve palak paneer without paneer? What you served was palak saag at best. If you are serving palak saag, then have the basic decency to call it that. Do not fool customers by calling it something else just because you're in a foreign country. The palak was not even pureed. A simple YouTube search will show you that palak paneer is basically made of pureed spinach and paneer which is Indian cheese. This owner is Indian and so there's no excuse to serve this kind of a dish.

I think people who gave rating they have not tasted Indian food.... This restaurant has Pakistan food not India food....and it's waste of money........also street is very risky and dangerous for Family....

It was great and tasty 😋 Indian food. We enjoyed it here with many non-vegetarians as well as vegetarian options. Lovely food

It is a really good atmosphere and the food quality is really good. They have plenty of items for lunch and dinner at a resealable price. I will highly recommend this place.

Its Indian Thali ( Buffet) restaurant. Starters are very good and lots of indian deserts . Main course is very average in taste (I think more customized for french taste ) . Sad part is this restaurant doesn’t accept any cards for payment and its only by cash which is ridiculous.

Before Covid pandemic ( read my review) a very good restaurant. Restaurant was almost full of people. Good tastfull buffet. But now not anymore. The food dish was less and not warm and to expensive for what you get. But i noticed when i came in, just two ladies....i already thought...? Now i now why. Now the restaurant is only for lunch open weekends. Better going to Noor Mahal or Bombay Palace. Even when the owner of Bollwood Tandoor is always friendly. When in Lyon, i choose a good Indian restaurant. Sorry to mention, but it isn't otherwise.

Amazing food and great service! If you want good indian food with a nice enviroment, here is your choice.

Food was beyond good, great value for the money and the service was extremely nice! I would also point out that the place is very well taken care of and clean.

Best indian restaurant in Lyon, definitely my favorite. Great food, extremely kind and efficient service, I will be back!!

Loved it! Very friendly and great food

Very authentic Indian food. The waiter was very knowledgeable of vegan requirements and made sure we were covered. We had the samosas, pakora, and 2 curries - all vegan. They stock indian beer also. Will return again soon.

Food quality is good, location in center. Mr. Sony and staff are very cooperative and friendly. i recommend to visit this restaurant when you go to Lyon.

How does a restaurant with decent food get a 1-star rating? Combine waiting over an hour for food that arrives cold, waiting another half hour for the food to arrive slightly warmer, in a dining room that's filled to capacity (about 20 people), with the front door completely shut, during a pandemic (we waited outside, and opened the door). Add to this kitchen staff visible from the dining room working without masks, a useless co-owner who offers a smiley apology for the cold food and the other mentioned problems by saying that he and his staff are humans, not machines, and blames the government for not having educated him about the dangers of a full dining room full of maskless customers with the door closed during a pandemic (not to mention the fully occupied, air-conditioned, windowless and doorless basement). And all of the above has to be paid for by cash or check (the paper one from the nineties...), while it's not announced anywhere visible the fact that he doesn't take Visa or Mastercard. And when you finally return from the cash machine to the now-empty restaurant to pay for the tedious and disturbing experience and get the hell out of there, he now offers you a digestive drink... That's how you get one star.

Awesome Indian food, the decoration is pretty and the atmosphere is friendly as the staff. Highly recommended

Small restaurant with good food. We did the lunch buffet with a friend from New Dehli and she thought everything was fine, though she thought the dal was under seasoned. It gets very crowded and hard to maneuver through all the throng. I particularly liked the pakora. And there was a carrot based slaw, that I don't think is really Indian but it was delicious.

Pleasant staff, nice environment, not that crazy about the food

Buffet includes: samosas, pakoras, dal, palaak paneer, a mushroom dish, two types of rice (regular and biryani-style,) several salads, a handful of desserts, roti, and probably some other stuff I can't remember. There are lots of meat-based main dishes at dinner or you can order more of the vegetarian options. There are also your usual naan options (regular, cheese, and garlic) as well as various lassis.

Good food and service. Nice vegetarian buffet.

(Translated by Google) Excellent reception. The owner is charming, the dishes are very good and the price is reasonable. To all lovers of Indian cuisine or those who want to discover it, I warmly recommend it. There is something for everyone, vegetarian or meat lover, for those who like very spicy dishes or those who prefer sweetness. This is the best Indian restaurant I have eaten in Lyon. Only downside the dessert part is limited (personally it doesn't bother me but if it's important for you you might be a little disappointed) (Original) Excellent accueil. Le patron est charmant, les plats sont très bons et le prix est raisonnable. À tous les amateurs de cuisine indienne ou ceux qui veulent la découvrir je le recommande chaleureusement.

Seul bémol la partie desserts est limitée (personnellement ça ne me dérange pas mais si c'est important pour vous vous serez peut-être un peu déçu)

(Translated by Google) Excellent and very good value for money. (Original) Excellent et très bon rapport qualité-prix.

(Translated by Google) Nice setting, But that's not enough. Feeling of having tasted a micro buffet in metal ramekins ... (Thali). Too bad, I did not find the taste and flavors that I expected. This establishment does not take the credit card or the dematerialized lunch card. Oops, especially in this time of covid or handling cash is not recommended. Long service, don't be in a hurry. (Original) Jolie cadre, Mais cela ne suffit pas. Sentiment d'avoir goûter à un micro buffet dans des ramequins métalliques...(Thali). Dommage, je n'ai pas retrouvé le goût et les saveurs que j'en attendais. Cet établissement ne prends pas la carte bleue et ni la carte déjeuner dématérialisé. Oups, surtout en cette période de covid ou la manipulation d'espèces n'est pas recommandée. Service long, ne soyez pas pressé.

(Translated by Google) A very warm welcome from the owners, very surprising and very tasty dishes. The cheese nan and the samoussa were excellent. A nice setting in town. We feel the passion and kindness of the couple. I just regret the lack of connection due to the lack of sauces (coconut almond sauce, or coconut curry for example) I recommend. (Original) Un acceuil tres chaleureux de la part des proprietaires, des plats tres surprenants et tres goutus. Le cheese nan et les samoussa etaient excellents Un cadre sympa en ville.

Cosy place, delicious food and wonderful owner. You will laugh a lot with him. You may even know a little bit more about your future, since the owner is able to read your palms. My favourite Indian restaurant in France. Highly recommended.

Staff and owner were genuinely some of the nicest and most helpful people i’ve met in the service industry, the food was absolute straight fire and far exceeds the price they charge for it. Highly recommend to whoever likes Indian food, the Pakora was amazing and whatever the orange sauce that we got with the Pakora was absolutely bomb and paired super well with every other dish we ate.
