Places in this guide
N°1Indian restaurantSharma Ji
A MICHELIN plate, a Time Out recommendation and twelve press domains for a pink-and-blue room on rue Fremicourt. Manoj Sharma serves heritage family cooking here, far from the tikka masala invented in England, with a keema pav that takes the chef back to his grandmother. Gilles Pudlowski writes of precise flavours and well-judged spices.
« On entering this pretty pink-and-blue restaurant, please leave at the cloakroom any belief that Indian cooking stops at chicken tikka masala. »

N°2Indian restaurantJugaad - Restaurant Indien Paris 2
Two Gault&Millau toques and the Table de Chef mention, opposite the Opera-Comique, for the table that opened the breach. Manoj Sharma, born in Delhi, crosses Punjab, Tamil Nadu and carefully sourced French produce, which Vanity Fair details down to the spiced veal tartare. Le Monde and Telerama have both been, sixteen press domains in all.
« Manoj Sharma has just opened Jugaad, which means improvisation and creativity in Tamil. Here you find the tastes of India, modernised. »

N°3Indian restaurantSEEKLO | Indian Grill Bar Restaurant
Recommended by Time Out, reviewed by Telerama and Yonder, SEEKLO plays the grill-and-counter Indian on rue Oberkampf, in a room designed by studio Mur.Mur: a vast mirrored counter, a saffron wall. Its Google rating is climbing, which is rare for an established address. The offer openly favours a contemporary reading over faithful reproduction.
« On one side, a large mirrored counter for picking at dishes over a cocktail. On the other, a long, cosier dining room with mustard and tamarind walls. »

N°4Indian restaurantDelhi Bazaar
Opened in 2023 on rue Servan, Delhi Bazaar was the Tandoor Club trio's first address and one of the first to be reviewed as such by Le Figaro. Telerama notes gentle prices and carefully composed plates. The volume of Google reviews, more than 6,700, and their rise reflect the real footfall of an 11th-arrondissement room that has become a landmark.

N°5Indian restaurantNew Jawad Longchamp
Near avenue Kleber, New Jawad plays the role the 16th rarely offers: eating Indian well on a tight budget. Telerama ran the fifty-euro wallet test there, and Gilles Pudlowski notes the family runs several Indian tables across Paris. Nearly 10,000 Google reviews, with a very high and stable rating.
« Here is a handy restaurant, near avenue Kleber and good value for money. »

N°6Indian restaurantDishny
On rue Cail, in the heart of La Chapelle's Tamil quarter, Dishny serves the southern cooking Paris knows least. Time Out singles out the kuruma, beef or vegetable, between the slap of chilli and the caress of coconut milk, and gives it a recommended badge. The house opens six days a week until 11pm.
« Signature dish? The beef or vegetable kuruma: the slap of chilli, and the caress of coconut milk. »

N°7Indian restaurantGourou
Sixteen press domains for an address that opened in autumn 2025 on rue Leon Frot, the densest coverage in this selection. The project began in 2019 as delivery only, before taking a dining room with Valentin Bauer and chef Adrien Bouchaud. Time Out praises well-executed classics at 11th-arrondissement prices, and the Google rating stays very high across more than 7,000 reviews.
« On the densely populated menu you find well-turned classics from Gandhi's country, at 11th-arrondissement prices. »

N°8Indian restaurantMumbai Café
The most distinctive format on the list: a Mumbai irani cafe rebuilt on rue de Trevise, by the Tandoor Club trio, two years after Delhi Bazaar. Masala scrambled eggs meet croissants, in an Art Deco room. Le Figaro, Grazia and Telerama covered the opening, and the Google rating is climbing across nearly 2,000 reviews.
« Here, masala scrambled eggs meet Parisian croissants, and the Art Deco walls answer the heat of the tandoor. »

N°9Indian restaurantJodhpur Palace
Opened in 2000 near the Coulee verte, rebuilt after a 2015 fire, Jodhpur Palace is the institution of this selection: ten press domains, from Le Parisien to Telerama, which notes the house improves with the years. The olive-planted terrace remains one of its arguments in the 12th.
« The more the years pass, the better Jodhpur Palace gets. Tall orange curtains have warmed the atmosphere and the fine olive-planted terrace is as pleasant as ever. »

N°10Indian restaurantKuna Naan
Kuna opened on rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle with a simple idea: take naan out of its side-dish role and turn it into a street-food format, filled at the counter. Le Bonbon and Snacking covered the concept, with chef Sudarshan Acharya on the recipes. The Google rating is climbing, driven by a low average spend and quick service.

N°11Indian restaurantLe Passage de Pondichéry
Passage Brady without the tout cliche: this 10th-arrondissement house is identified for its dosas, a southern Indian speciality, as far as English-language guides. It is the most affordable address in the selection, in Paris's historic Indian quarter, between Strasbourg-Saint-Denis and the faubourg Saint-Denis.
« This 10th arrondissement Indian spot is famous for their dosas. »
