Tandoor Indian Restaurant Nosara — Restaurant in Nosara

Out of all of the places I’d expect to eat great Indian food, a restaurant on the pacific coast of Costa Rica wouldn’t have been on the list. We ordered masala papad, chili paneer, samosa, paneer kadai, and chicken curry. Every dish was expertly prepared and for the duration of the dinner, I thought I was back home in India.

I look forward to returning to Nosara and...
