Jaipur Café, the Indian restaurant for lovers of Indian and Pakistani cuisine!

Located in a quiet street in the 10th arrondissement, a stone's throw from Boulevard Poissonnière, Jaipur Café has been delighting lovers of Indian and Pakistani cuisine for over 10 years now. It's the place to go for excellent, freshly baked naans that arrive still puffed up at the table, dishes cooked in the tandoor (a traditional charcoal oven) and to soak up the Bollywood atmosphere.

As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a cosy, refined and colorful setting. Red and mauve blend with gold and chandeliers. 2 rooms open up to us, a large one in front and a smaller one on the right, revealing a screen showing Bollywood films, just to get even more immersed.

Once the menu is in hand, the choice is wide. When it comes to breads, not 1 but 3 types of Indian bread are on offer: nans, of course, but also chappati (unleavened wholemeal bread) and paratha (unleavened buttered wholemeal bread). There are plain nans as well as cheese nans, filled with meat or garlic, traditionally accompanied by the 3 typical sauces.

For starters, we couldn't make a choice, so we opted for the bouquet of starters, consisting of a lamb sausage, a samoussa, a spice-marinated onion fritter, an eggplant fritter, a potato fritter and a small salad of crudités. Both crisp and melt-in-the-mouth, accompanied by little sauces and cheese nans, we're in heaven.

For the main course, we opt for the tandoori prawns and Kashmiri beef, accompanied by basmati rice. We love the generous prawns, cooked just right.

We end on a high note with homemade desserts. Semolina cakes and dried fruit ice creams, a lovely marriage of hot and cold that goes great together.

In short, if you're looking for a good Indian restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, this is a good address to try.
It's an address that's been passed on by word of mouth for years, and it's well worth the detour.

Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
