Restaurant indien Bollywood — Restaurant in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Indien Bollywood Restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. Located in France and in a town named Genéve. Their menu offered a wide range of options, which catered for all dietary requirements, from vegan to gluten-free. This was a pleasant surprise because as some with dietary restrictions, I was thrilled to see extensive options available. They also had a variety of drinks, such as wines, beer, juice, and traditional drinks. All of the items seemed over expensive, however, the quality of the food was worth the cost. The restaurant was targeted towards people looking for a quiet and enjoyable two-person dining experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who escorted us to a beautifully decorated restaurant table. The restaurant's decor created a lovely atmosphere with inviting warm ambient lighting, intricate wooden carvings, vibrant artwork, and stylish light features that added the touch needed. Its well-spaced seating arrangements created a cosy setting, and soft background music added to the overall ambience, creating a delightful dining experience. The friendly and helpful staff further enhanced the experience, making us feel like valued customers, and making us feel at home.

For our appetiser, we choose the Samosa Chaat. Although it didn’t quite live up to our expectations, it was still a decent dish. The flavours were unique, unlike anything I'd tasted before, and despite the samosas being slightly undercooked, we admired the attempt to put a creative spin on the traditional favourite.

Moving on to the main course, the Paneer Butter Masala and Dal Makhani were the way to go. I don’t regret getting these for my main course because everything about them was perfect. The PBM was well-cooked, and though it leaned towards the sweeter side, it was still enjoyable. The Dal Makhani was an absolute delight. The flavours were perfectly balanced, and the creamy texture was divine. I couldn’t get enough of it. The garlic naans we had with the curries were exceptional. They were fluffy like soft pillows and tasted like heaven. It had the perfect amount of garlic and butter, which made us order a few extras to fulfil our carvings. We also had the vegetable biryani as a side, which didn’t quite hit the mark, as the rice and the spices felt undercooked. For our dessert, we treated ourselves to Gulab Jamuns and Keser Kulfi. The Gulab Jamuns were tasty, though they were a bit too sweet for my liking. However, the Keser Kulfi was pleasant, it had a smooth consistency and with its pleasing taste in my mouth, it made me crave more. One way this dessert could have been even better was by adding ice cream on the side. Ice cream and gulab jamun are the best combinations, and I was disappointed to see that this restaurant had not thought about this. The culinary experience of my visit was mostly enjoyable, I would like to mention a slight concern about the restaurant's cleanliness. It seemed like the tablecloths weren’t appropriately washed as there were minor visible stains of curries and small amounts of accumulated crumbs. Despite the minor setbacks, I would like to highlight that the positives of this restaurant outweigh the negatives by a lot. The friendly staff, a wide variety of menu choices, and some standout dishes like the Dal Makhani and Garlic Naans made the experience worthwhile and memorable. Overall, I had a pleasant dining experience at Indien Bollywood Restaurant and I would recommend it to others looking for delicious menu options with great service in a comfortable setting and delightful atmosphere. With a few adjustments to the sweetness level in some dishes and a bit more attention to cleanliness and presentation, this restaurant could easily become a top-notch dining destination. I look forward to seeing how the restaurant will continue to refine its offerings and will certainly consider visiting again...

Hate to say it but this was probably the worst Indian food I've ever eaten in my life. The Naan was dry hard, tasted more like pizza dough l and for some reason had holes in it. The Matter Paneer was .... I don't even know what it was, but it tasted incredibly bland, all while being extremely heavy in fat - in a bad way like it had cheap Mayonnaise inside instead of cream. Maybe the Restaurant played some kind of practical joke on me I am not aware of, otherwise I have a really hard time explaining how this food could have even been cooked. Even if you are really bad cooking Indian food, I don't see why Mayonnaise should even find its way into an Indian kitchen restaurant?

Took some of the Maker Paneer home with the sheer motivation to show my indian girlfriend and she upon first tasting she was completely bewildered of what this Matter Paneer was supposed to be. Like, for her, a born and raised in India person, the food wasn't even recognizable. Maybe this food was cooked in an alternative Dimension where India was colonized by France and France had adopted the cooking style of a Swedish Kebab shop? Its a true mystery to me.

Absolutely the worst Indian food I've ever eaten in my life in the hundreds of Indian restaurants I've been. Maybe go there if you are in an active starving situation.

Service was good though and...

Review by a south Indian : I went in by chance this weekend to get some take away this sunday for my family.

The people running the place are very friendly.

The food is very good. Its rare to find authentic Indian food in France. But they nail it here. I took away a couple of set meals (one with chicken curry and one with beef curry) and it was very good. Their naan bread is damn good.

2 set meals was enough for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Now I cant wait to go back and try out some of their Pakistani stuff.

I will definitely be back and I strongly recommend this place to anyone in the neighborhood looking for authentic food from the Asian...
