Indian savours, the Top 5 of bollywood tables in Paris

1. Restaurant Jodhpur Palace

On the edge of the Coulée Verte and the Bois de Vincennes, this well-known restaurant, with the allure of a Maharajah's palace, features the signature dishes of the blue town in the province of Rajasthan on its menu. In a soft thousand and one nights ambiance, Naans, eggplant curry, Basmati rice, vegetarian Daal and Tandoori chicken are very subtly cooked and spiced. À la carte: €40. www.jodhpurpalace.com

2. Restaurant Ratn

At the heart of the Golden Triangle, this is the gourmet rendezvous of Indian aristocracy, and the favorite table of the Ambassador of New Delhi in France. The place is low key, posh, and the elegant hospitality of the owner, Sanjiv Bhalla, is highly appreciated—just like the Kadai Murgh, a secret recipe stemming from Moghol cuisine in the north of India which he serves to gourmets in the know. A la carte:  €70. www.restaurantratn.com
