Ambiance de l'Inde

Ambience de l'Inde restaurant in Paris' Left Bank, found at the top of the rue Mouffetard, is a northern Indian restaurant redolent of both the subcontinent and old Paris. There is a pair of colourful, inviting dining rooms with their scarlet napery and Indian artifacts on the ground floor, and another pair in the vaulted 12th-century caves where you are surrounded by atmospheric exposed stone walls. The menu focusses on the specialties of the Punjab, in dishes like tandoori prawns, lamb curry with almonds, and mango or pistachio kulfi. Ambience de l'Inde is open every day and, at weekends, service is non-stop.
