I have been living in Barcelona for around 11 years. I have been able to witness the evolution of the Indian Culinary scene in the city.
Initially, it was difficult for me to adapt to the taste of the Indian food adapted to the local palate. Later I even convinced myself that there are many reasons for this to happen - recipes, ingredients, origin of the chefs, etc. Only to be taken back to reality upon visits back home and experiencing the food afresh.
I have been looking for that perfect 'mutton biryani' across Barcelona but even the most popular eateries have fallen short. Most of them are catering to the tourists or local population and not to the Indian visitors. For that reason, most of the time, the flavors are mellowed down and the end result is you feeling unsatisfied. In some cases, it even poorly reflects in their service standards towards the Indian guests.
But all that changed when I had a chance to have a lunch meal at 'Daal Roti'. I ordered a 'mutton biryani' and was happily surprised to have my expectations surpassed. The flavors were rich and the spice profile was spread across the spectrum. The meat was perfectly cooked and rice grain was long and aromatic. The raita was just on point to cool the heat the biryani delivered in some bites.
Not to be forgotten that the service was very friendly. I was attended by Nirav who checked with me how I prefered my food in terms of spice levels. Also recommended the dessert (kheer - rice pudding) to complement my meal. I was happy to see that the team was excited to have me as a guest.
I had chosen the 'Menu del dia' (Lunch menu) option and ended up paying a mere 12.95€ for a hearty meal. That's a rare experience at an Indian restaurant in Barcelona.
