Cap India — Restaurant in Béziers

First impressions are good. During the summer season there's a choice of sitting outside or inside. The outside area is marked by two ornamental elephants either side of the seating area. A menu is displayed outside the restaurant lit with an attractive display of lights.

Step inside and a relaxing aura of colourful lighting and comfortable seating greets you. Art and objects adorn the walls. A staircase leads away upstairs. When we visited there was also a large screen in one corner displaying videos of Indian pop music and dancing.

Not worth the money, sorry....
