Convenient for Paris Nord, but worth travelling to

Everything was delicious. We had Podi Dosa, Medhu Vada, and S Indian Thali. Everything was vegan. Highly recommend. Tastes as good as it does in South India, and possibly even better.

Pros: Delicious and tasty meals, Friendly staff, Great location

Authentic South Indian classics

We came across this place by accident, round the corner from Gare Du Nord. This is an authentic South Indian restaurant serving all the classics. We had masala paper dosas (main) and bhajis (starter). The food was as good as I have enjoyed anywhere (including in Chennai!). This place is the real deal. Very friendly & efficient service. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot. It was great value at €9 for a dosa platter. This place is the real deal.

Pros: Delicious food , Great service , Excellent value for money

Really tasty, authentic, but beware!

I'm really torn on this review. I had such a wonderful meal; we went in for breakfast before a day exploring Paris and heavy travel back to the UK. We ordered the idly and vada platter plus a dosa to share, total of 27Euro for the three platters. The staff was really nice and was able to help us easily order vegan. It was a bit either take it or leave it, though, if it had dairy in it they didn't offer to accommodate for vegans. For instance, we had to have our tea and coffee black, there were no plant-based milks. Normally not that big of an issue, but they were spiced chai and really seemed to lack without milk. The food itself was so good and very authentic. The vada & idly platter and the dosa platter both come with the four sauces: sambhar, mint, tomato and coconut. Very filling and I was so delighted with our meal. My partner, however, barely ate anything as he had gone to the bathroom and found it very dirty and unsanitary which put him off. And, sadly, I should have listened to him, as I believe I got a mild bought of food poisoning. I can't say for sure, but I'm sure enough that I sadly would not return. It made our return trip home a real nightmare. A shame, because it was so great otherwise!

Pros: Good value, Authentic and filling, Friendly & knowledgeable staff

Cons: Unsanitary restrooms, Shabby dining room, No plant-based milks

One of my favorite Indian restaurants ever!

I really really loved the food in this restaurant. It’s full of flavor and there are a lot of vegan options. The portions are huge and the staff is friendly. The prices are good as well. The interior is maybe not the most cozy, but that’s not that important in my opinion. I would really recommend eating here!

Pros: Cheap, Huge portions, Delicious food

Excellent restaurant indien

J'ai testé pas mal de restaurants indiens dans Paris (en dehors du quartier Gare du Nord) et je dois dire, sans exagération aucune, que c'est le meilleur restaurant indien que j'ai eu à tester jusqu'à présent !!! La décoration et la devanture sont très simples mais il ne faut pas s'y fier : la nourriture servie vaut tous les beaux décors du monde ! J'ai pris un chana masala et un fried rice et mon amie a pris un curry de chou fleur accompagné d'un cheese naan. Un délice ! Tout est parfaitement dosé, rien n'est écœurant. Par contre attention, si vous n'aimez pas les plats trop pimentés il faut le préciser au serveur car les plats sont bien relevés !
Il me tarde de découvrir d'autres restaurants indiens de Gare du Nord où je pense qu'il existe d'autres pépites comme celle-là 🤩

Pros: Nourriture excellente , Ambiance tranquille

Good, hearty food at a great price

I found the people friendly and helpful, even though they were really busy. There’s nothing fancy about the place itself, but the food is really tasty and excellent value. You can taste the individual spices (just like in good home cooking), there’s a good range of dishes and they can make lots of the dishes vegan.

It’s really close to the main exit of Gâre du Nord so don’t walk past it if you fancy some cheap, tasty food.

Pros: Several delicious vegan options , Excellent value & nice people , Close to Gâre du Nord

Cons: A bit cramped - but do NOT let that put you off!!

Tasty Indian food

We had the samosas, cauliflower curry and mushroom fried rice.

All tasty, especially the samosas with a lot of fresh cilantro.

Not 100% sure the curry was Vegan. Also they brought raita yoghurt sauce and suggested the milk tea after us having mentioned being vegan.

Very good, been 10x

An absolute staple when near Gare du Nord. Dosas are the best I ever had. Thalis also great. Excellent paneer. And cheap too.

Pros: Consistently excellent, Very cheap for Paris

Excellent value for money

I keep going back to this place as it has a huge variety of vegetarian food - both North Indian dishes and a wide range of dosas. I love their starters - Gobi 65 is an absolute must for me. The food is reasonably priced and I’ve never been disappointed with the quality of an order.
Unsure what is vegan friendly however.

Very good price for biiig portions

Although the personal did not speak English well enough to help me much, the menu is (mostly) well labeled and the food is amazing. Beware: The white sauce has, quote "just a little bit milk in it", which they did not tell me until I asked again skeptically.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Big portions for little money, Right next to the big train station

Cons: Bad English, Unlabeled milk in the white sauce

Delicious and affordable

It's definitely worth a visit. The food is delicious, way more then filling and really cheap. The staff is friendly and you can just ask them what of the menu is vegan and what is possible to make vegan.

Delicious, lots of food, cheap

I took the vegan tali after seeing the reviews here 😁. Loved it. Very friendly staff. Lots of food. Only downside would be for me that they don't have black coffee.

Pros: Nice Indian music , Delicious food

Cons: No black coffee

Tasty authentic food

The staff were super friendly. One who spoke a bit of English and another who could easily talk through the whole menu and tell us what was vegan. Loads of choices. We had the vegan thali and a masala dosa. Both were super tasty and reminded us of being back in India. I was tempted to order more food, but the staff told us that'd probably be enough food to star with and they were right! 2 delicious meals and a beer for 22 euros was a bargain!

Mwah

I ordered a vegetable biryana and bhaji to go, to take in the train with me. The biryani hardly had any veggies, and not much taste either. Same went for the bhajis, but there were a lot of them.
It felt like the food lacked some love, not what I expected after other reviews.

Pros: Affordable for Paris , Very quick for take-out , They knew vegan and spoke English

Cons: I wasn't like any good Indian I've had before.

Delicious Thali

I’ve tried a couple of the Indian restaurants at Gare du Nord and this one is my favourite. It’s quite small and the staff is super friendly. I ate the South Indian Thali every time i was there as that was the first recommendation when I asked for vegan options. Its super delicious and has a lot of variety as it consists of so many small things.
I’d be careful with the curries, they might be made with ghee (as in many Indian restaurants) and I’m not sure if they would tell you that as a vegan you wouldn’t want them..

Pros: South Indian Thali, Very filling and a lot of variety

All vegetarian, vegan not labelled but can be worked out or you can ask.
Staff were lovely and helpful.
Simple decor but great food and right next to Gard du Nord station.

Pros: tasty food , price, staff

Dosas

Newer place than the other two on the same side of the street. Maybe smaller than the other ones but fresher. Nice dosas, cheap and filling.
Will go again!

Good South Indian food

This is a newly opened restaurant compared to the other line of restaurants on this road and we had gone for experiment which turned out great. A pure vegetarian joint. Went there 3 times. Good food and friendly staff and on requesting the chef made special jain dal for the next 2 days (the regular sambhar is not jain)

cant compare it to the south indian food in India but to find something like this in Paris was absolutely great :)

Pros: good food, not expensive, friendly staff

Best dosa in Paris

South Indian restaurant with a speciality in dosa. Nice tiffin combo and Pongal too. Really tastes like eating in Pondicherry!
