Banaras Restaurant Indien — Restaurant in Nîmes

Great find in Aigues-Mortes. If you want a decent Indian/Pakistani meal in France you general will struggle, as the French don't really do "Curry House". Owner is an absolute star man, has family in Leeds (we're from Hudds) and was chatty, very pleasant and witty. We had a good laugh with him. His English is excellent (and so is his French). Food was very good indeed, and he brought us out a "special hot" sauce that he doesn't serve to every customer. I can confirm this was hot and excellent quality.

Would love to visit again but it is a thousand...
