Jatayu - Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Santa Eulària des Riu

An Absolute Gem – The Best Indian Restaurant in Spain!

I’ve traveled across Spain and tried Indian food in cities like Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona – but nothing comes close to Jatāyu in Ibiza.

From the moment you walk in, the stylish and vibrant decor catches your eye – a lush green backdrop with a modern, welcoming vibe. But the real magic begins when the food arrives.

Every dish is bursting with flavor, and the sauces? Fresh, homemade, and incredibly well-balanced. You can taste the quality in every bite – this is real Indian cuisine, done right. No shortcuts, no bland or watered-down flavors – just authentic taste and top-quality ingredients.

Whether you’re going for a spicy curry, a tender tandoori dish, or something vegetarian – everything is cooked to perfection. Even the sides like naan and rice are spot on.

And let’s not forget the service – warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. You’re not just another table here – you feel welcomed and looked after.

In my opinion, this is hands down the best Indian restaurant in all of Spain. If you’re in Ibiza and love great food, Jatāyu is an absolute must. I’ll definitely be coming back – and bringing friends with me.

Jatayu – A Journey into the Heart of India.

Jatayu is a truly delightful discovery. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in a warm, welcoming atmosphere where hospitality is not just a gesture, but a philosophy deeply felt by everyone on the team.

The ingredients are of exceptional quality, elevated by a cuisine that captures the true soul of India with elegance and depth. The chef handles spices with remarkable finesse, crafting dishes that are not merely meals, but narratives — each one a sensory poem woven from bold aromas, silken textures, and vivid colours. It takes just a bite to find yourself transported, gently carried by flavours that evoke the richness of India’s culinary heritage — its warmth, its memory, its spirit.

Service is attentive yet unobtrusive, delivered with genuine care and a quiet grace that enhances the experience without ever overwhelming it.

To dine at a place with such thoughtfulness, flavour, and soul is...

I rarely pick Indian restaurants, but Jatayu has completely changed my mind,  I'd come back here in a heartbeat.

Every dish we tried was fantastic, an explosion of flavors that got us trying to identify the spices in each one. Everything was delicious, and honestly couldn't pick a favorite; each bite seemed to become my new favorite until the next one. My dad though, who isn't usually a fan of fish, was raving about how much he enjoyed the Kerala Fish Moilee. Mains aside, I could have easily had two Mango Lassi myself, it was that good.

What an amazing surprise. I would advise anyone to give it a try, even if you are not the biggest fan of Indian cuisine, this place may change your mind. It truly made a lasting impression, I will definitely be back here...
