    If you are looking for the best Indian restaurant Paris 10 has to offer, look no further than Old Shalimar Paris. Tucked away in the vibrant, historic Passage Brady, this spot feels like a true culinary escape right in the heart of the city. We stumbled upon it while exploring the 10th arrondissement and were absolutely blown away by the authentic Indian cuisine. The garlic naan was served fresh out of the tandoor, and the Chicken Tikka Masala was incredibly rich and perfectly spiced. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious, affordable Passage Brady Indian food!"

    Old Shalimar is the perfect Indian restaurant for tourists visiting Paris. Located in the famous Passage Brady, and just a few minutes from Gare de l’Est and Gare du Nord, it’s an ideal stop after arriving by train. The Butter Chicken was creamy and full of flavor, the garlic naan was fresh, and the chicken biryani was perfectly spiced. If you’re searching for halal food in Paris city center, this place is a safe and delicious choice. Excellent service and very good prices for central Paris.

    If you’re looking for the best Indian restaurant in Passage Brady, Old Shalimar delivers a full authentic experience. The chicken biryani was aromatic and generous, packed with traditional Indian spices. The tandoori dishes were grilled perfectly, and the curry sauces had deep, balanced flavors. It’s rare to find such high-quality halal Indian food in Paris 10 at such a good price. Perfect for dinner with friends or family in central Paris.

    Old Shalimar is easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Paris 10. Located in the famous Passage Brady, this spot offers truly authentic Indian cuisine in the heart of Paris. The Butter Chicken was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, while the garlic naan was freshly baked and soft. If you’re searching for halal Indian food near Strasbourg Saint-Denis, this restaurant is a must-visit. Great portions, fair prices, and excellent service make it stand out among Indian restaurants in Paris.

    Old Shalimar, the Best Indian Restaurant in Paris 10 ⭐ Old Shalimar is truly one of the best Indian restaurants in Paris 10. I visited recently and was impressed by the authentic Indian flavors, the warm hospitality, and the excellent value for money. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — exactly what you expect from a top Indian restaurant in Paris. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the service is fast even during busy hours. Whether you want a classic butter chicken, perfectly spiced biriyani, or delicious tandoori dishes, everything tastes homemade and full of real Indian aromas. If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Paris 10, or simply the best Indian food near Gare du Nord / Château d’Eau, Old Shalimar is the place to go. Highly recommended for lunch, dinner, or takeaway.

    We discovered Old Shalimar during a weekend in Paris and it quickly became our favorite spot for authentic Indian food. The restaurant offers a wide variety of classic dishes like butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, and fresh cheese naan – all full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Portions are generous, prices very reasonable, and the lunch menu is a great value. The staff welcomed us warmly and created a cozy atmosphere. If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Paris with great service, Old Shalimar is definitely worth a visit!

    I’ve eaten at Old Shalimar a couple of times now and it’s quickly become my go-to spot for Indian food in Paris. The dishes actually taste like the ones I’ve had in India – rich flavours, good spices, nothing watered down. Portions are generous without being heavy and prices are fair. The place itself is simple and relaxed, nothing fancy, but the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful which makes the whole experience easy and pleasant. If you’re craving proper Indian food rather than the usual “French-style” curries, this is a solid choice.

    We are an Indian family staying in the UK. On our holiday in Paris, we were looking for good Indian food and we found it at Shalimar!! The food was great. We had Dal Tadka, Palak Paneer, Vegetable Biryani, Garlic Naan and Mango Lassi. All dishes were well made. The palak paneer stood out. The service was great as well. Would recommend it for fellow travellers!

    9.5/10

    We had an excellent dinner here! Very authentic and delicious. I had butter chicken and my husband had chicken tikka masala and we shared samosa legumes. The chicken was tender and flavor across the board was very good. Staff were very kind and checked in more than once to make sure everything was good for us. Overall experience was wonderful. I personally don’t love the atmosphere of a busy market feel but my husband liked that aspect and it wasn’t a big deal to me at all. We are tourists and found the spot by searching for Indian restaurants on The Fork and we were not disappointed. It seemed like a more authentic dinner and less touristy based on location and feel for us

    Nice food quality. You can even order a veg version of every non-veg dish (with paneer) Amazing paneer quality too. Maybe a bit crammed in space. Toilet amazingly clean for such a full space but a bit in the way. Something we noticed and asked but the staff didnt know: there are hooks all over the restaurant on all the walls, these hooks look like the ones you can buy in india (for example from blinkit), i am just so curious what they are doing in paris and why all over the wall! :0

    very authentic Indian food. The butter chicken is rich, creamy, and full of flavor—absolutely delicious. Their fluffy cheese naan is a must-try: soft, warm, and loaded with melty cheese. Great food, cozy vibe, and friendly service. Highly recommended!
