Indian Flavour — Restaurant in Ixelles - Elsene

I recently dined at Indian Flavor, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We ordered lemon rice, dal makhni, and roti, but none of the dishes came close to what we expected.

The dal makhni was completely off. It didn’t taste anything like dal, let alone dal makhni, which is typically creamy and rich. It was bland and lacked any real flavor. The lemon rice was equally underwhelming — it was basically plain rice stir-fried with some onions, with no hint of lemon or seasoning. To top it off, the roti was half-cooked, making it chewy and unpleasant to eat.

To make matters worse, while we were eating, we overheard another customer having a similar experience with their food. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner got into an argument with the customer rather than offering an apology or any form of resolution. We didn’t want to get into a similar confrontation, so we quietly ate our food, packed the rest, and left.

I would not recommend this restaurant based on this experience. The lack of flavor, poor preparation, and unprofessional attitude were all...

Amazing food, great hospitality at the heart of Brussels ! Gautam and Tima were wonderful hosts...they take special care and attentive to every guest. Their warmth, and delicious food at reasonable price is their USP. They will make sure that you have the best of the flavours, curate with your taste and would also guide you if you are new to Indian or Bangladeshi food.. They served River fish curry which was a huge piece (easily shared between two) with a delicious gravy reminded us of home back in India... We tried Spinach chicken, Fish curry, Chicken Biryani, Dal Rice which was very authentic yummy Indian/Bangladeshi food. We looked forward to every night for our dinner at 'Indian Flavour' all four nights we were in Brussels ! Highly recommend if you are at Brussels. We will come...

The restaurant is open until late on sunday, which is outstanding in the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and polite, which made us feel very welcomed. The food was amazing, the garlic naan is so fresh and soft it melts in your mouth and the curries are full of taste. The portions are huge, more than enough for one person. They even gave us extra items on the house like one samosa and rice. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided to order for take away as well :) Unfortunately I dont have pictures to attach to the review, as we were so occupied with the food we forgot to take some. 10/10...
