Never did I imagine that in a country like Poland I would find this hidden gem!
This Indian cuisine outlet,I was told - is owned by a restaurateur who is either (Apologies, I don't remember exactly) in ISKON or some other HareKrishna movement / organization.
The staff (the two women who work there) is Polish, but they have all the knowledge of the Indian cuisine. Unfortunately, there is limited seating capacity (around 5 to 6) and usually people prefer takeaway. Apparently, the outlet is mostly known for their peculiar and unusual Samosa fillings.
The menu changes every day (i.e. the curries/sabzi and the filling of the samosa)
What did I try:
A - 2 Samosas Filling: Sweet potato and black beans Filling: Green peas and Coriander
Samosas are served with 2 chutneys/sauces.
B - Chapati and Aloo Gobi sabzi (Wheat Indian flatbread and Potato cauliflower gravy curry) The chapati was more like a bhakri. Tasted good.
C - Besan barfi. (pity they didn't have Mysore Pak that day. My eyes literally lit up seeing Mysore Pak on the menu board!)
All what I tried tasted really good. Though I would say that all them did lack the spice quotient. Maybe it is catered more to the Polish taste buds.
Thumbs up to this team for coming up with this outlet in Kraków!
Suggestions: Variety in the menu. You could add in other options to the menu. Would be great to have the minimalistic and simple but all time favorite "Aloo Samosa/Punjabi Samosa" (basically, filling of aloo and spices). I am guessing they'd be having this on one...
Read moreThis place does a tasty Indian curry lunch every day starting at noon, but I'm here to tell you about their samosas, which they serve all day. One samosa is a filling snack while two are practically a meal.
Samosas are India's most popular chaat (snack) food. They're fried triangular stuffed pastries, accompanied by a splash of chutney. Something like 99 percent of vegetarian samosas served worldwide are filled with potatoes and peas, but the ones served here use fancier vegetables and the results are really special. You can get all sorts of terrific fillings including spinach, sweet potatoes, and purple cabbage. I'm a big fan of well-made samosas, and these are a step up from what I can order practically anyplace else.
Since Hariprasad Samosa & Curry uses paper plates, the food doesn't photograph especially well, but in terms of flavor they really knock it out of the park—the samosas rate a solid 10/10 in terms of deliciousness. After I eat here I like to walk a few blocks to Hevre, where I can wash down my samosa(s) with a pint of Pilsner Urquell poured from a gleaming copper tank—probably Kraków's the best one-two punch of cheap...
Read moreWhat can I say? Amazing saathvik home cooked vegetarian food for a fraction of price. The restaurant is very simple, looks more like a fast food joint. But serves very healthy food. You have 2 choices for main course 1. Curry 2. Dal/beans (protein), pick one and you get it along with rice and one freshly made chapati(tawa roti). What more do you want, hot healthy meal. If your hunger is not satisfied, try their samosas or the vegan mango lassi. The place is also popular for takeout. Located about 200mtrs from the famous Wawel castle, right in Kazimirez. The food is cooked fresh every day, and they have different variety every day. For those who are familiar with the concept, the owner of the restaurant Hariprasad, offers prasad/neivedyam to Lord Krishna daily once the...
