Little India in Paris


We knew from friends who had visited Paris before that there are many Indian eateries around the Gare du Nord. So from Versailles, our destination was this train station in search of curry, briani, roti (paratha) ... As we exited the La Chapelle metro station (by accident, not by design), we ran right smack into ... India! We did not expect to find (Little) India in Paris, with shops and outlets selling and smelling Indian everything - sari, henna, spices, textile, music, curios, food, etc.

Shihabdeen's is a Sri Lankan et Indienne Resturant. We found a nearly full house at this eatery so it must serve good food because nearly all the customers there were Indians (including Sri Lankans, Pakistanis?). The tandoori was quite good although I did not really like the chicken curry - too much spices in it. The others seemed to enjoy their food too. After the meal, we walked around Mumbai Jaffna the area and forgot we were in Paris, France, Europe.
