India

Came here for a dinner with friends — nice atmosphere, good dishes though not very big. But in this way you can taste a few of the different ones. Delicious the Indian cold «milk shakes» with various exotic fruit. If you like ethnic, this isn’t a bad choice.

«Best Indian in town»
Nothing more to say, been coming here through and through for many years, it’s the best indian restaurant in Florence. A bit expensive but worth the trip to Fiesole!

For the ambiance I’d give 4 stars, despite the fact there was no background music and for an Indian restaurant it’d be nice to hear some.
Let’s start with their Chai tea, very much bitter, like the leaves were infused for too long and lost their properties. Also it comes in a very small cup and there’s no refill.
The menu is satisfyingly wide, several deals available, including the appetizers and a vegetarian 4 courses.
The starters are almost all fried, and not the kind of fry you would pin as light and crispy.
The vegetarian menu is served in a tray that looks like the school mess’s one, while if you order single dishes from the menu are all in their Indianish pots and cups.
The servers tend to be rushy, like they’re impatience to get the order and they suppose you know all the dishes by heart.
We were 15 people, a big table, ok, but it would have been nice to have the dishes served in an order anyway: from appetizers to dessert, not all together. Also some of them were forgotten.
At the end of the dinner, when they asked for desserts, I had the one included in my menu, the server didn’t even bothered to come near me and take my order, so I just didn’t get it.
Overall, it used to be a very nice restaurant, right now I think it lives on its past reputation.

This really is (still) the best Indian food you can get in Florence. There are a few places in the Oltrarno and porta al prato but this is the best. I would recommend going on a weekday when they have a set menu for 15 or 20 euros and you can try a little of everything since it is kinda expensive. Think 8 – 9 euros for a curry plate and that does not include rice. The ambiance is absolutely gorgeous, incense wafting throughout the place and the way they have decorated the place is amazing. I highly recommend the samosas, different flavored naan and the chicken curry «maharaja» (with ginger). Also they have authentic chai tea and lasse’s if you enjoy that. I went recently last month and was happy that the food was still just as amazing if not better than I remembered. You have to try it!
