Krishna Bhavan

Montmartre & Northern Paris


This is about as authentic a South Indian vegetarian canteen as you’ll find in Paris. If in doubt as to what to order, ask for a thaali, a circular steel tray with samosas, dosas, raita, lime pickle chutney and naan bread, and a yoghurt-based lassi, which comes in five flavours, including mango and rose.

There are several other branches on the same street.
