Marinisa

Strolling along the Avenue de Clichy between all the tourist bars and sex shops, we found this little restaurant. Yeah, Indian. There was no outdoor seating, but we were right by the window. The waiter was a cute little Frenchman with a pretty smile. He spoke English despite my being able to converse slowly in French. We ordered our mostly our usual, lamb vindaloo, onion nan, raita, pickles, rice. Rather than matar paneer, we got the mixed veggies which sounded like aloo gobi plus peas. Before we had the bengan pakoras. These were tasty but did not come with any dip. We asked for some and got the condiment tray with a mint sauce which was flavorful but not spicy as is usual, sweet chutney, and pickles. The vindaloo was just fine. I ordered it extra spicy which it was not, but it was sufficiently hot for me. The veggies were flavorful. We were happy overall and had a great time. I would come back!
