Route des Inde — Restaurant in Nice

During my recent trip to Nice, I had the pleasure of dining at "Route des Inde," an Indian restaurant that stands out not only for its delicious cuisine but also for its exceptional accommodation of gluten-free diets. As someone who requires gluten-free options, finding suitable dining places can be a challenge in Nice, but Route des Inde truly impressed me.

From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by the owner and hostess, whose friendliness set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. Their genuine hospitality made me feel right at home, and they were more than happy to guide me through the menu, highlighting the gluten-free options available.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Route des Inde is that all of their food is gluten-free, with the only exceptions being the naan bread and samosas. This made it incredibly easy to navigate the menu without worrying about hidden gluten. Whether you're craving a spicy vegetable jalfrezi or a flavorful biryani, there are plenty of choices that cater to gluten-free diets.

The food itself was a delightful journey of flavors. Each dish was expertly spiced, and what I particularly appreciated was the flexibility in adjusting the spiciness to suit individual preferences. Whether you prefer your food mild or with a fiery kick, the kitchen is happy to accommodate your taste, ensuring a personalized dining experience.

Overall, Route des Inde is a gem for anyone in Nice looking for gluten-free dining options. The friendly service, combined with the extensive gluten-free menu and the ability to customize the spiciness of each dish, makes it a must-visit.

Last week, my party and I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. We arrived at 7:05 pm, just five minutes after opening, to an empty restaurant. The hostess, who we believe may have been the owner, greeted us curtly and directed us to a table without a warm welcome.

We were handed menus. While we were settling in, the hostess tried to rush us and pointed to the menus, saying "read!" from two tables away before leaving us. We browsed the options and decided on prawn masala, paneer jalfrezi, fish tandoori, and naan. When ordering, we were informed that the naan was very small and she suggested to order additional naans.

Unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations. The prawn masala was overwhelmingly spicy, dominated by red chili powder, masking any other flavors, despite that we requested medium spicy. The paneer jalfrezi was barely enjoyable, and the rice was a cheap substitute for fragrant basmati. Even the portion sizes were much smaller than other restaurants.

Throughout the meal, we tried to get the hostess's attention for more naans. However, she simply said "wait" and disappeared, despite the restaurant only having three occupied tables at the time.

Adding to the unpleasant experience, the restaurant lacked restrooms, or at least they were locked as other diners attempted to use them but returned unsuccessful. Additionally, there was no option for indoor seating, leaving us exposed to mosquitos during our meal.

Thankfully, the following days brought much better experiences at other Indian restaurants in the area. Le Curry and Mother India offered friendly staff, larger naans, flavorful dishes with fragrant basmati rice included, and the comfort of indoor dining at...

Tried all the Indian restaurants in Nice, this one is the worst. My samosas, at 6euros something were still frozen when served, I told the waitress/owner and she went back and microwaved me up another nice and soggy mash of a samosa. The onion bhajis, two for 6.50 were soggy and neither starter came with any pickle. We could hear the microwave ding and 1 minute later they were out. 5.50 for a 33 cl bottle of kingfisher, ridiculous. We asked for our spice level, "comme en Inde". The dhal makhani was so spicy we could not taste the kadhai paneer properly. The waitress claimed that vindaloo was not an Indian dish, when I said that my weeks in Goa eating vindaloos far less spicy than their makhani meant she was talking codswallop. Whatever, the kadhai paneer seemed to have a good taste despite the makhani drowning it out as we ate it first. I would imagine the slow burn of the what tasted like scotch bonnets in the dhal makhani (yes weird) to be at 25k on the scoville, so good luck appreciating a tangy kadhai paneer. 4eur50 for a 10cm diameter garlic naan that was soggy and probably microwave reheated is insultingly priced. It was definitely not fresh. I would have expected not to have paid the still frozen samosas on the bill, even if she did bring a replacement but they were there. I know it's Nice, and I know it's France...but this was bad and worth writing a bad review. Inflated prices, bad food but contrary to other reviews, the owner was ok. Will never go back,...
