Such a fabulous curry house with both exceptionally friendly service and food. We were encouraged to try the restaurant after searching Tripadvisor for gluten free friendly places and we most certainly were not disappointed We sat outside in a shaded area which was comfortable with delightful surroundings of palm trees and parrots, and we were met by the lovely lady hostess who spoke excellent English. Whilst looking at the menu, the complimentary popadoms and dips were a wonderful start - the authenticity of the dips were outstanding. The menu is vast and very clearly labelled showing gluten, nuts and dairy advisories. This makes things sooo much easier when you have food intolerances and there was so much choice - 85% of the menu was gluten free. The Aloo chat and small kebab starters arrived incredibly prettily presented and the tastes - were delectable! My daughter who isn't terribly keen on Indian food (in the uk) was a total convert and was oooing and arrring over how wonderful it was. We're gutted we didn't take photos of starters as they were so pretty, but we dove straight in as they looked so exciting. Our main courses - mango chicken korma and lamb rogan Josh with pilau and cheesy garlic naan were also just perfect and generous portions - and the quality of the meat was exceptional. We were checked on several times to ensure we were happy with everything and the attention and service was appreciated. We can highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly go back if we can squeeze another visit in before...
Read moreExcellent, freshly prepared Nepalese & Indian food just off the promenade in Torrox. Our server (and perhaps one of the owners, Mel) was friendly, helpful with questions and genuinely interested in us a patrons. Mel brought us complimentary Papadom & a variety of chutneys when he brought our drink order. The chutneys were fantastic! We had two starters: Dahi Puri and Mitho Momos. Our server put in the order for the mitho momos right away because they are prepared at the moment of ordering. Both starters were absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu has a brief & informative description of main spices and the preparation in English and Spanish. We each chose to go with the “Menú del Día” (only €10.50) which gives you a starter, a main course and rice or naan and coffee or ice cream. There were five choices for starters and five choices for main course. We were glas we got to experience two more of their delicious starters as we had just come from a spinning class! We chose the chicken pokoda and the vegetable samosa and the lamb curry and chicken madras, both with basmati rice. We chose coffee at the end and it was a delicious choice. We highly recommend Pahuna if you like high quality food prepared freshly, friendly service and...
Read moreExcellent indian / Nepalese restaurant, recommended to us by several residents from Frigiliana area. It is easy to find being located just off the main Torrox Costa Road, set a few rows back from the sea front, adjacent to a grassed garden area.
Three of us had papudoms, starters and mains, all very tasty with some extra spicy dishes available. Service was friendly and efficient with a complimentary drink offered at the end of the meal. Very reasonably priced, total bill 79 euros (and this included 2 rounds of drinks, mixed soft and alcoholic.beverages)
In our opinion, having visited Frigiliana for 10 years, the best indian food in the Nerja area. Don't be put off that the restaurant is not on the main strip, the excellent food more than makes up for lack of sea view. We will...
