"Good indian restaurant"   My Rating
5 Olive	Posted on: Saturday, November 14, 2009
	Review: This restaurant has good and fresh food, with a wide choice, of which specialities from Tamil Nadu (South India). And not full of oil as in many others indian restaurants. The staff is OK (not very sympathetic but not antipathetic). The price is not more expensive than the other indian restaurants in the neighbourhood (which is the "indiantown" of Paris), so it's cheap (especially for Paris) ! But the food is almost not spicy (so don't go if you eat indian food for its spice !). There are many other indian restaurants in the neighbourhood, and even if they are not 100% vegetarian, they always have many vegetarian meals. I would recommend you Thensurabi (60 rue Louis Blanc), which has excellent "Masala Dosai" (a Tamil speciality).   Pros: fresh and good food - not fat * wide choice * cheap Cons: not spicy (it can be a pro...) * *

"Not a bad place"   My Rating
5 O-liv	Posted on: Wednesday, November 04, 2009
	Review: I've been there a few times, it's not a bad place. The food is cheap and tasty, and quite differant from what you find in other vegetarian restaurants. The only problem would be the staff, who doesn't speak very good french or english, so communication is a little hard. I'm vegan, and never got them to understand I didn't want any of the mint dip on my plate, as it has milk in it. No big deal though, I just don't eat it. Just a problem once with a waitress who misunderstood what I ordered, brought me something else, and then refused to take it back (I hadn't touched it).   Pros: tasty food * indian vegetarian * cheap Cons: don't speak good french or english * staff not always very friendly * not in a nice neiberhood

It sounds like this place needs to hire a language tutor, huh? Not speaking French in Paris or English will get them into trouble!. response by Jeffrey - report abuse -

"Sad surprise. Don't go there."   My Rating

	Review: We ate there a few weeks ago and had one of the worst experience ever. The food was vegetarian but tasteless and worst of all the waiter was rude and couldn't clearly care less about our choices. It was our first time in an Indian restaurant in a long time and we needed some more information about the ingredients of the plates. Since we didn't thoroughly understand French (though we speak it) we asked a couple of times to tell us the list of the ingredients one more time and she was always so pissed off and once she even told us she was surprised because she had to tell the same things twice (!). So, long things short, the choice is vegetarian and cheap, but this doesn't mean the service must be rude and cheap and the food just tasteless too. Simply put, don't go there.   Pros: * * Cons: rude service * tastelessfood * poor location

"not too sure about it"   My Rating
6 Morbid Cafe	Posted on: Saturday, March 07, 2009
	Review: As soon as we sat down and ordered I discovered that the restaurant I was looking for was across the street. The name was the same and they seemed to share staff and funds, although the decoration was slightly different. Or should I say that there was no decoration on our side of the street... The staff was friendly, but probably didn't understand when I asked for non-dairy foos because what I got looked strangely creamy to me, so I ended up eating bajji with only one sauce. Since my mother loves extremely spicy food we asked for the strongest meals they have. She ended up being quite disappointed in her masala dosa and had to take some of my eggplant sauce for the extra hotness. As for me I got some pancake-like things that looked and tasted as if they had been baked with cheese. I trusted the Happy Cow reviews that said this place was vegan aside from the sauces and hoped I was wrong because I was very hungry. It was a nice Indian experience, but if I should go back there next time I will try the one across the road and speak english very slowly in order to make sure that I get only vegan food on my plate.   Pros: authentic * * Cons: * *

"good food good price"   My Rating
5 happycowin paris	Posted on: Monday, January 05, 2009
	Review: delicious (becareful all foods are little spicy, because of the indian style with curry and hot peper). not expensive, quick service, friendly indian waiters. exotic candy for me as gift after the meal , it has a weired perfume like indian incents :-) but small & hot (a little uncomfortable in summer, take away suggested), not chic looking.   Pros: excellent food * good value * friendly staff Cons: noisy * small place *

"Cheap tasty vegan-friendly indian food - dhosas!"   My Rating
26 Miggi	Posted on: Saturday, September 06, 2008
	Review: Krishna Bhavan is within 5 minutes walk of both the North and East stations. It's in an area with a large Asian population, lots of Indian cafes and restaurants to choose from and this place was clearly very popular with local residents. All the tables were full when we arrived, over half with Asian families, so we waited a few minutes for a seat while several people popped in for their take-away food. They make a variety of pakora and bhajis which were popular for take-away customers and diners. They also do some Thali meals and several dhosas. We had dhosas which were massive - a huge, thin crispy pancake roll overlapping both sides of the metal tray, with mushroom curry or potato curry inside and a veggie curry and sambal side dishes. Highly recommend the mushroom one. Everything tasted great though not very spicy and the meal was perfect to keep us happy throughout a long train journey. It is a cafe really - their website makes it look a bit posher than it is - with formica tables and bustling atmosphere. It's very popular with families so expect to clamber over buggies on your way in. Luckily the children there when we went were well behaved and there were no screaming brats. It is very cheap, I think we spent about £10 on starter, main and drinks for 2.   Pros: Cheap * Atmosphere * Mostly vegan Cons: Popularity means busy * Basic furnishing / decor *

"delicious!"   My Rating
10 vegan girl 24	Posted on: Monday, May 26, 2008
	Review: i really like this place--i have been twice, and both times loved the food i ordered. last time i ordered the rice (bavani or something) and it was delicious! it comes with three sides/sauces that are amazing! if you are vegan, be sure to let them know not to put sides with cheese or milk in them. best part are the samosas---sooo delicious! if you are vegan or vegetarian, the food and price is awesome. also, it is in the indian district of paris, which is really cool to explore.   Pros: delicious * good value * Cons: * *
