Jaldi Jaldi — Restaurant in Lille

We had just arrived in Lille, and I was craving something warm to eat. After checking into our hotel, I started looking around for a healthy option. I scrolled through food photos and was happy to find something meat-free.

Being Polish and not speaking French (though I’ve tried before!), I felt a bit anxious walking in, worried I’d have to rely on Google Translate. To my surprise, they had a self-service screen where I could browse the menu at my own pace and choose my meal. I took a photo of my order number, and the staff kindly let me sit down while I waited.

When it was my turn, I was relieved to find the shop assistant spoke fluent English. I thanked him and brought the food back to the hotel.

The veggie biryani was absolutely mouth-watering—rice cooked to perfection, nicely spiced, and full of flavor. The yogurt on the side perfectly balanced the heat. Unlike many English Indian takeaways, which tend to be heavy and greasy, this one was light and delicious.

Overall, an amazing experience with truly...

I haf high expectations based on review. My expectations dropped to very low when I entered and saw how the menu was written. It appeared as if a non-Indian decided to write the menu. That generally ends up badly in Europe. But not this time.

I ordered Sabzi (Palak with Paneer) that came with cheese nan and rice. To my surprise it tasted superb. Naan was surprisingly good too compared to how it look. There was almost no paneer in palak though. Gulab jamun was also great. My Brasilian friend had a shrimp curry and he loved it too.

All in all, great place for a quick bite. Not fancy. Food is much better than how the place looks. I would still not say it was as good as many great Indian restaurants in Amsterdam... but...

I was craving Indian food and, as a vegetarian, I was hoping to find some good options. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was warmly greeted by a few people (later I found out one is owner and other staff). They were very helpful in suggesting vegetarian dishes, which I really appreciated. The food arrived quite quickly, and it was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavors. I ended up staying for a while because the place had a lovely view and a relaxing atmosphere. Overall, the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome. Highly recommend this place, especially for vegetarians looking for tasty...
