Samina - Paris

These guys give Indian food a bad reputation. Service was friendly and cordial. But the food was just nothing short of a regurgitated frozen impression of a ready made Indian meal. Chicken in both my dishes was tough as old boots, the Karai chicken sauce reminded me of the first curry I made as a student and the butter chicken was nothing like the real thing. Pilaf rice was just refried rice in spices and the Chana masala made in an undercooked tomato sauce. Went to use the bathroom and had to walk past an untidy and unused part of the restaurant, kind of said it all... made we wonder what state the kitchen would have been in. I wish I had not had my spice craving on that evening last week.

Good location in Quartier latin. Friendly service and good food. The portion is enough. Naan is also very tasty.

I absolutely love this restaurant. I have been there 3 times in my last visit to Paris. I have tried others in Paris but this is really the best one. Tried their butter chicken, shrimp masala, biryani and their non bread (cheese, butter and potato) everything is so delicious. I absolutely recommend this Rest for people who loves fully flavored food. Prices are a average. Dishes are around 13-16 euros.

Good quality food not spicy, hat a chicken and a gambas tika masala, some butter naan and rice with peas

We ate here on our recent weekend trip to Paris. We had the first table by the window, which was open to the street. It was a nice spot, but there was a bad smell of urine and sewage coming from the street (not the restaurant). We managed to ignore this enough to enjoy our dinner. The currys we ordered were good, but that's it. While the curry was tasty, it was kind of a small portion for the price. The salad had a very greasy mayonnaise like dressing, and was way over loaded with it. The naan (which is the best part), tasted old, pre-made and reheated. The bathrooms were in the musty smelling basement, which had no lights on. So you had to walk though a dark basement to a filthy small bathroom. Overall, this place is just ok. The staff was friendly, so that helped but otherwise would not recommend.
