Pillayar Corner Restaurant — Restaurant in Paris

It's the worst ever Indian restaurant I've ever been to, at Gare du Nord. We were suggested this restaurant for their famous musthafa Parotta (chicken stuffed Protta). By the end of the lunch, people who actually suggested and ate along with us were totally deceived since the recipe had been changed unfortunately and it was what they had eaten a year back.

1st deception, looking at their stale and artificially added dark red colored tandoori chicken displayed at the entry.

2nd deception, On reaching and discovering their congested tiny tables of 4 (bad decor candy green walls in the dark corners of the restaurant).

3rd deception, the water who didn't pay heed to us for more than 15-20 minutes despite calling him several times and making sign languages (thinking that may be had some hearing disability).

4th deception, when he was finally at our table, didn't note down anything of what we ordered and missed items we ordered and confused our order with the next table.

5th deception, having mentioned less spicy and then when you discover that you are literally in tears and gasping for water and sweet drinks every bite of other food.

The musthafa parotta was a terrible mistake, only chicken bones found in the stuffed parotta and huge pieces of onions with absolutely no taste or whatever. Sambar provided for the thick doses was like boiled and steamed vegetables in plain unsalted water , again no taste at all and bland. These last two were the only ones that weren't spicy. I've never eaten or tasted srilankan dishes...This is probably how their natives consume extremely spicy and strange combos...like idiyappam with keerai (spinach curry), sime kind of a spicy chitney, spicy lentil curry and spicy chicken curry side dish. Please call this as "srilankan" restaurant and not mention "Indian" restaurant (definitely not South indian)!.

After being totally unsatisfied with their food and the money wasted 😒 at their place had to go to our favourite south Indian restart, which is just around 30 feet away from this place and satisfy both our taste buds and hunger needs.

If you are looking for a proper south-indian restaurant with the right amount of spices, well cooked food with care of their customers, value for both money and taste then skip this tiny corner (so called) restaurant at...

🌟 À fuir absolument ! 🌟

📍 Adresse : Pillayar Corner Restaurant, près du métro La Chapelle à Paris 👎 Note : 0/5 🚨 Hygiène douteuse – Arnaque sur les prix – Service médiocre 🚨

Paris, capitale de la gastronomie ? Certainement pas ici. Ce "restaurant" est un véritable sketch, mais sans la moindre touche d’humour.

🔹 Le service ? Un serveur qui change en plein milieu du service, et le plus âgé, visiblement peu à l’aise en français, en profite pour te faire prendre le menu qui l’arrange. Je voulais un nan nature ? Il m’a forcé à prendre un nan "fromage" (comprendre bourré de Vache qui rit), sous prétexte que la nature est plus chère. Pas de souci, me dis-je, mais la suite… c’est le drame.

🔹 L'arnaque au prix ? Une fois mon supplice terminé, à la caisse, surprise ! Le nan nature n’est pas à 2€, comme annoncé, mais il faut en prendre deux pour ce prix. Et le nan fromage ? 3,50€ pour une crêpe imbibée d’huile, avec trois portions de Vache qui rit jetées dedans même pas écrasées. Quand je lui fais remarquer son incohérence, il tente de me faire la morale au lieu d’assumer l’arnaque.

🔹 L'hygiène ? Catastrophique. Tables et chaises non nettoyées, plats servis sans serviette, avec les mains, directement dans l’assiette. Et les couverts ? Posés sur la crêpe dégoulinante d’huile. Un vrai festival de nonchalance et d’irrespect des bases élémentaires de propreté.

🔹 L’ambiance ? Promiscuité extrême, personnel sans intérêt, déco fatiguée, un lieu qui a visiblement oublié jusqu’à l’idée de satisfaire ses clients.

🔹 Verdict ? À éviter comme la peste. Le restaurant "Pillayar Corner Restaurant", c'est un vrai Pillard de la clientèle, bref un bon gros signalement aux services d’hygiène et à la répression des fraudes serait plus que mérité. Paris regorge d’excellentes adresses de street food… ne perdez pas...

Small restaurant not so far from the train station (metro la Chapelle and RER Gare du nord). Delicious street food, I love samosas and kottou parotta here. I always take the warm milk tea at the end of the meal, so delicious. Only one bad point is the floor is not clean, always have some food or paper serviettes from the previous customers dropped under the table and nobody comes to clean. The tables sometimes a but sticky, I feel sometimes uncomfortable about this. Otherwise, I love the food, I think some menus are better than many Indian-Srilankan restaurants I...
