Chicken tandoori, lassi, butter chicken, cheese naan… If these words ring in your head like a soft exotic music, you should know that a new very high-end Indian restaurant has just opened its doors near the Grands Boulevards. Code name: Papadoom Kitchen, after a special flat bread that you nibble on at happy hour. Grade : 10/10.
A luxurious eden with wonderful spicy smells, all in bambou, with lush plants and neons, that softly leads us into the jungle of Mowgli rather than a loud Bollywood decor. Special kudos for the naan oven in the back of the long room, in order to watch the dexterity of the the cooks kneading the dough.
On the programme of special treats
So when it comes to match our love for Indian food and long Sunday lunches, the result is a totally addictive brunch. The tempting menu signed Sanjee (from the blog Bollywood Kitchen) is a one-way to New Delhi. And for this finger licking brunch, one option to remember: the Bombay with raïta (yogurt salad with herbs and veggies), 2 Papadoom (lentil chips), scrambled eggs with spices, rice, and a choice of massala tchaï or coffee, as well as a very pleasant lassi with mango and cardamom (€21 ).
For others less ready to play the game, the Queen Brunch will do the trick in a more “British colony ” version with sausages, beans, bacon, mushrooms, 2 Papadoom, scrambled eggs (€21 ). To be washed down with a fabulous Bollywood Punch rhum cocktail, cardamome, lemon juice, coriander and Prosecco (€9 ).
The added plus
The vegetalized terrace on the upper floor, worthy of Wes Anderson, that functions like an covered patio couvert, ideal to breathe air far from traffic. Nice wicker armchairs, palm trees, wild vegetation are a wonderful change of scenery.
On Sunday from 11am to 6pm. Reservations highly advised: 01 40 41 02 14.
