Paras Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Cartagena

PLEASE READ TILL THE END!! Amazing service and food too. We were staying at the La Manga golf resort and needed an Indian fix. Looked on TripAdvisor and Paras looked the best. It was only a 5 min drive to Los Belones from our villa. The service was amazing from the manager and I believe his wife. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was great and the portion sizes big. Their prices were very good also. Great work Paras and see you again when back in town 👊

THE RETURN TRIP! Well we came back the following year and man had things changed. The poppadoms were bendy, the starters were poor and nothing like the year before. I honestly didn't want to eat mine as I thought the chicken wasn't cooked through and didn't want food poisoning. Others had chicken My main was way over the heat of a Vinderloo, but had asked for medium heat. Others had gravy that was so thin it was like water. A korma should be rich and creamy. Only 1 person was happy out of our group of 6. We will not return and advice you avoid like a dose...

Living in Los Belones so I eventually went to eat at Paras. Had already had a meal at the Curry Gardens (belongs to the same family) in the La Manga Club which was ok so decided to give it a try here as well.

The papadoms were unfortunately not freshly made because they were already a little bit soggy, a shame because it's super easy to make them fresh.

The rest of the dishes were really good, Vindaloo chicken was well spiced and not mouth killing, good egg fried rice and we also had a naan which was tasty.

The service was nice and friendly so overall a good experience but with the freshly made papadom it would have been even better. We'll just try...

Fuimos cinco personas ayer a cenar a este sitio uno de ellos vegetariano, el chico que nos atendió nos ayudó mucho a saber que elegir y que contenía cada plato, incluso le hizo una combinación especial vegetariana a un amigo. La comida espectacular, muy buen sabor y el aspecto incitaba a comerlo.

Aviso, no es un sitio para comer por 8€ de media sale por persona entre 15-20€ ya que el arroz va a parte del plato, aun así merece totalmente la pena.

Sin embargo, no le doy las 5 estrellas por el trato que recibimos de una de sus camareras de alta edad. Nos sobró comida y como es lógico queríamos llevárnosla a casa (algo que están obligados todos los restaurantes a realizar) y no nos permitió hacerlo salvo un plato porque dijo textualmente “es que no tengo taper para todos los platos, como insinuando que le valía mucho dinero hacer eso” Cuando solo necesitábamos dos porque eran dos platos que habían sobrado y eran de distinto sabor y no queríamos mezclarlos.

Así que con resignación nos disponemos a pagar y queríamos pagar cada uno una parte con tarjeta y responde la señora con toda su desfachatez que no podíamos hacer eso por que por cada pago le cobraban una comisión (estando obligados por contrato a cobrar cuando el cliente quiera por tarjeta la cantidad que este desea). Es decir, que la tía tacaña no solo nos impidió llevarnos parte de la comida que habíamos pagado sino que encima después de dejarnos 100€ en la cuenta nos trató así a la hora de pagar.

Conclusión sitio bueno, bien ubicado, visible, con terracita, tienen Estrella Galicia de grifo, comida espectacular, el camarero increíble super majo, flexible y atento, pero la mujer a mí gusto arruinó la velada por esos feos que nos hizo. Si podéis que no os atienda la señora mayor ni os cobre y hablad siempre con el camarero. Con él tendréis una experiencia 10.

Para que os hagáis una idea los platos de comida están entre 10-13€, una caña larga 2€, una botella de agua grande 3€ y el arroz...
