The other day, before we headed home from Troyes, we decided to go and try out an Indian restaurant we had found. We’d actually been looking forward to it all day. We got there as soon as it opened, at 6.30pm, and we couldn’t help but share our enthusiasm with the young chap who owned the restaurant. He’d told us he’d owned it for just over 2 years, but had only been open for one year. Brian asked him how hot they served their dishes, as generally the french don’t eat spicy foods and we’d found that even when buying chillis in a supermarket they are never very spicy. He told us they served their dishes “quite soft” but he could make the dishes hotter if we wanted them to. “That would be great!” We both exclaimed.

I have to say the meal did not disappoint us. It was authentic, with a french twist, i.e. it was quite smooth in its taste, even though they had added more spice for us. I had a lamb and spinach dish. The lamb was succulent and tender, and full of vibrant spinach. Brian had chicken ticka masala, which again was very succulent and layered with flavours. It was an excellent meal and we will definitely be going back.
