Patang — Restaurant in Paris

I will preface this by stating that my experience was an incredible meal tainted by the (I assume) owners’ uncomfortable behavior with our four year old daughter. If you aren’t planning on dining with your children, the food is incredible and I’m sure nothing I say from this point on will make a bit of difference to your experience.

That said, I’ve put a lot of thought into this review, and very nearly decided to leave it alone; to say nothing. However, I’m already quite upset with myself for allowing this to happen and would be remiss if I did not share my experience in the hopes that it might help another family avoid the way that I feel today.

Here it is. Upon arrival, the woman who greeted us knelt down and pinched our daughter’s cheeks to say hello. I let it slide and said nothing to the woman. But noticed my daughter was uncomfortable. We spend a lot of time talking about consent and body autonomy as a family, and this gesture broke all the rules. While I was in the bathroom, the woman did something similar to our daughter in front of my wife while they were sat at the table. Unaware that this had happened when we arrived, my wife let it slide and said nothing, but again our daughter was visibly uncomfortable. Then, as we were leaving, my wife already out the door, my daughter and I one foot out the door, the woman, without asking or making her intentions known, grabbed our daughter to hug her, picked her up and walked her to the middle of the restaurant to say goodbye to the man working there (I assume her partner and part owner). I was mortified. I could see my daughter was incredibly uncomfortable. I was faced with the decision to either make a scene of it or simply watch to ensure my daughter’s safety in the moment. The restaurant was full and I could see other patrons taking notice of the situation, so I opted to just hurry them along.

I’m sure the owners meant no harm, but their actions still made our family quite uncomfortable, especially our four year old daughter. Consent is so important to her and our family. After the fact, our daughter told us she was not comfortable with this woman touching her body and picking her up.

I regret allowing it to happen and have since apologized to our daughter for not standing up for her in that moment, which is also why I wanted to share my experience in a review of...

I usually always cut a slack but this experience was particularly horrible. The worst part - it happened when I was trying to celebrate my wife's birthday. It's a small and cozy place with decent food. They are going for exclusivity but the execution falls short. Too short. Nowhere do they mention that there's a 75 minute limit at a table (not even on their website, not sure if they've changed it yet). And Indian food on top of that. We ordered a few starters and some cocktails/wine. By the time we were done, we were told to close our tab and leave. When I inquired about the reason, the person told me non chalantly that I should've known as if that's the default in all of Paris! When I retorted back asking about where it was written, I didn't get a valid response. That server was rude. He kept telling me that the owner was going to be angry. When I asked to speak to the owner, he declined. Then he came back saying that it was his fault that he forgot to mention the time limit. Fair, right? But right after that we were told that because of this they'd have to delay or cancel the next reservation. Am not sure why we were being guilt-tripped for no fault of ours. I was angry at this point and asked for the check but then there was a lame attempt at making us feel better. The only reason I am not giving it a one star overall is because there was a lady server who was the only one trying to be polite and deescalate. To the owner - if you are going to create an aura around your place, you should account and leave very little room for easily fixable goofups. Our night was spoilt. I was embarrassed not just because I was looking forward to a good birthday celebration for my wife but also because the people around us were also observing the drama. A drama that I didn't ask for. Do better to earn...

I recently dined at Patang and I must say it was the best culinary experience I’ve ever had in Paris. I was waiting for such restaurant to be in Paris which gives an authentic taste, feels like having food in india. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance was perfect, combining a cozy atmosphere with elegant decor.

The food was beyond exceptional. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I’ve never tasted anything like it in Paris The Dahi Puri was a standout, I also ordered butter chicken with naam and Roti which was perfectly made leaving me in awe of the chef’s talent and creativity.

The owners are truly remarkable. They clearly have a passion for their restaurant and their guests. They took the time to personally check on us, ensuring we were having a great time. Their warmth and dedication make all the difference.

The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He ensured our meal was perfect from start to finish.

Restaurant Patang sets a new standard for dining in Paris. The combination of outstanding food, exceptional service, and wonderful owners makes it a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes. Highly recommended! Must Try Dahi Puri, Chai Cheers to the...
