Restaurante Indio Bollywood Tadka — Restaurant in Madrid

We were glad to have found an authentic Indian restaurant in Madrid, but the service left us wanting.

The menu prices were misleading - Paratha is shown to be €5.50 each, however your choice of topping increases it to €7.50 on the final bill and there is no mention of that in the menu. When asked, the manager/owner was unapologetic and said that “paneer is expensive”. Consumer law states that the price should be displayed correctly, on the basis of which the customer should be able to make their choice and we found this practise to be especially dishonest as a matter of principle.

We thought of mentioning this in the complaint book for the attention of the local authorities, but as fellow Indians on the 15th August, we thought it best to let this go.

The fact that the manager was enthusiastically conversing with white people in the restaurant but had such a dismissive attitude towards his own people, soured our experience...

Being an Indian , I went to Bollywood Tadka today for a dinner with my family. The service was really very worst. The service people are very rude that too there was a person who was very very rude... I dont think I will go back again there ..worst restaurant in Madrid on behaviour and quality of food ..I complaint on the food but he said this is very good and he says I don't tasted good Indian food...he said he was born in India and I replied back that I was born and been for 40 years....Worst restaurant.... Adding to it.... While swiping a card he didn't shown me the amount...I asked him to show in the machine before swiping...but he's was very rude and said you can see the amount after swiping....I told him I will not swipe without knowing the amount. ..still the guy was very arrogant...

5 stars for the owner and the entire staff. Very friendly and helpful. We sat outside but the heating was so good that it kept us warm even at 1 degree.

The food menu was diverse. We went specifically for the indo-chinese food. And it was worth it... I don't know of any other restaurant in Madrid that has such authentic Indo Chinese food... Definitely going back for the chicken lollipop 🤩 I already have my eye on the chhole bhature for next time... Bar menu is also quite good. The best part was the sizzling mithai platter....a very new and interesting concept for me...

Overall a definite 5 star for everything... I am sooo glad to have...
