Pleasant meal, ruined experience. First time Google review. First time to Lisbon. Frequent world traveler and lover of food. Decided on this place for 2 reasons: It had good ratings. It was one of the few places open on Sunday night. We like Indian food. We loved the food, the environment was Indian traditional and the service met our expectations. We ordered 2 apps and 2 main dishes and some Naan. We tasted everything (the Chicken soup is the best I've ever had) but didn't finish every piece of meat and vegetables on the large dishes we were served. When our server collected our dishes he pleasantly asked us if we had enjoyed the meal (implying that we didn't because the dishes were not completely consumed). We explained that we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the experience and simply didn't have the ability to consume all of the dishes (which is true). After we had paid our bill, we remained at the table for about 3 minutes to finish our wine, when the server (assumed owner) approached us at our table and said "Um..you are lying. We just received this negative online review." And then proceeded to hand me his phone and show me the review. We were confused and explained it was not us. He again accused us and said he knew it was us two more times. Shocked and appalled, we gathered our things and left. Completely ruined our night. The post was clearly someone else who had had dined there. I would have gladly recommended this place prior to being...
Read moreUPDATE: Not sure whether they changed cook or ownership, but the place got much worse compared to before. The service though polite but very slow and minimal (even though we were the only 2 people there during whole lunch). My friend got Nepalese Tali and it had 3 side sauces which were all the same, my friend asked the waiter why are they all the same and they waiter couldn’t even reply. I had Prawn Briyani, which I received after my friend already finished his meal, and it was super basic 1+1 type for 8eur but costs 17eur. Even though no one else was in the restaurant we had to ask few things twice cause the waiter forgot. Hope to give it another try (maybe in a year…) and update my review.
Previous review (gave 5*): Had craving for Indian food, went to this place which is behind my hotel. It was really good! Though I’m not so much into spicy food, but I love Indian food and eat it quite often! Had papadam, garlic naan and butter chicken, everything was crush and tasty. Service was great too....
Read moreWent to this restaurant for a date, and the restaurant is very small and cute, feels cozy, we were able to chat without much noise. The staff was really nice and the food was great! The portions are generous and everything is very well prepared. We got the cheese naam and that was quite the highlight of the food in my opinion! My date said “Fantastic” I asked for things that weren’t spicy and even though one part of the dish was spicy, I didn’t feel like it was too bad, it actually got a nice contrast with the cheese naam (that I dipped on it) I really recommend this place and I am looking forward to go again
