Indiano John's Samrat — Restaurant in Xiamen

Well this is the only indian restaurant in Xiamen and a safe haven for vegetarians.

The food here is good to taste and you get to listen to bollywood music which is refreshing in China, and doesnt make you miss home.

Although their facebook menu shows a lot more variety, they have reduced the number of dishes on the menu which were not so much in demand, and currently they have only north indian dishes and no south indian dishes. Plus they dont have Dum Alu also, which leaves only paneer, daal and chana masala

They also have mixed veg, and bhindi masala and baingan bharta.

We used to order Paneer makhni, which is better than paneer butter masala and channa masala. Their garlic naan is very tasty and also tandoori paratha.

Although it is slightly expensive, one meal with 2 curries and 2 breads will cost around 200 RMB but if you have a heavy breakfast and only dinner then it is not too expensive, although some items like masala papad and roasted papad are over priced at 28 RMB

In Xiamen, Indiano John’s Samrat is the place to go. The food is flavorful, the service is excellent, and it’s been a long-standing favorite. On my last visit, I noticed renovations underway, but I was happy to find the restaurant still open. Can’t wait to see the finished results. This spot is truly a don’t-miss stop...

It is the only Indian restaurant in Xiamen... That also from 2005. They serve for few hours in morning and limited hours in evening. I would suggest to call them and go.

You can have full stomach with budget of around RMB 50 - 75 depending on your appetite.

You wan't find many visitors but they serve you with big smile. Staff is very friendly.

Food was delicious... We had Paneer Butter Masala and Cheese Nan. Both...
