Good Indian food. Giving a note to Indian food can be tricky as the cooking and taste will depend on the restaurant and chef region/inspiration and how these influence the kitchen. Of course and as always you will find a big choice of dishes . For the one we ordered, the taste was ok. Even if I feel they taste more neutral, maybe because we asked for less spicy... Which is uncommon Prices are average but the portions are normally for two people if you share some dish for exemple. The biryani was a bit deceiving. Well not the best I tasted . Please try their mutton dishes, they're good. The service is nice and the personnel very polite and helpful, too much sometimes. Lol we were asked 4-5 times if we finished... The owner would be very kind and come greet and ask if everything was good at the end. The setting is very peaceful and calm especially if you're next to the garden. (Beware of the occasional emanation from the laguna) Payments by cash,card etc is accepted. Toilets are clean. You have some variety of drinks and prices are average. I even think they do have also shisa if...
Read moreLocated close to the lagoon shoreline, in what seems like the pool area of one the houses that make up this neighborhood, Indian by Nature was an unexpected surprise. For starters, it has the best service I have ever witnessed in Abidjan! Waiters and waitresses were always on top of things and checking if everything was as we wanted, but never overwhelming. The restaurant is distributed in two areas, one around the pool, and another which one could say is roughly facing the lagoon. Furniture and decor are in dark, elegant shades. Several fans do their best to cool down the Abidjan heat. The long menu makes choosing something difficult, but, as in many Indian restaurants, it is separated into types of dishes (fish/meat/seafood/vegetarian/etc.). We had Jeera Aloo and Gobi Matar Massala, both a feast to our taste buds, which we paired with Plain rice. They have an interesting wine list which will cater to most wine enthusiasts and...
Read moreWonderful setting, both indoors and outdoors! This restaurant offers a beautiful interior for intimate lunches and dinners, but also has a vast garden and pool area, opening out onto the lagoon. The decor is warm and welcoming with several touches of Indian decor.
The food was quite good! Very delicious, and the portions are just right. If you love spicy food, be sure to mention it, because medium wasn't spicy enough for me. The food does take quite long to arrive as well, so be patient. One thing was quite odd, they have a Chinese menu... at an Indian place...
The service was really good too, but they seem to be overstaffed, if that's possible. Lots of waiters hovering, but still great service. Strange thing though: the waiters don't bring the bills, nor do they collect the money themselves. It's done by what seemed to be the manager? Kind of weird.
Overall good experience, tasty food, great service and...
