Le Karachi - Lyon

After having been made to recommend karachi repeatedly by the locals, my husband and I finally dine there tonight with friends.

Apparently the first Indian restaurant in Lyon._I had a better Indian cuisine, but compared to other options, I found it very good and copier

Delicious food you will certainly not leave from here hungry.

We found this Pakistani restaurant close to our hotel; eating South Asian food was a welcome break from the richness of traditional Lyonnaise cooking. The staff was attentive, the decor was suggestive of Pakistan without being tacky or overdone. The portions were generous and the food was good. Only downside: as the menu explains in some detail, because of their cultural background and beliefs, the management does not serve alcohol or allow it in the restaurant.

Food was good by European standards (being from London which serves the best Indian food in my view). Got my spice kick. Biryanis super as was the chicken curry (on the bone!) and daal. My family ate every last morsel and enjoyed the lassis. We would have liked to ability to have some wine with our meal, but that was not possible as was restricted. In London again, we have such venues where one can bring their own drinks. Good ambience and very friendly service. Would go again.
