A tiny Alfama spot serving warmly hosted Indian-Bangladeshi comfort dishes at budget prices; excellent butter chicken and bhuna, but ambiance is basic and a few reports flag service-charge surprises and uneven non-Indian items.
Tucked on an Alfama slope, this tiny spot feels warm and welcoming thanks to an owner and team who talk guests through the menu. Plates land fast, prices are gentle, and several diners gush that the butter chicken is a trip highlight. However, there are some review authenticity concerns surfaced by a few detailed complaints and the unusually high volume of perfect ratings. One guest summed it up: simple room, big flavors. The cooking leans traditional Indian-Bangladeshi with a homestyle touch rather than theatrics—bhuna, biryani, palak paneer, and parathas share space with Portuguese fish and a little pasta. Curries are aromatic and comforting more than fiery; garlic spinach beef and butter chicken are house heroes. If you stick to the South Asian side, you are rewarded; a couple of diners found salmon and some veg curries underwhelming, so order where the kitchen shines. Families are welcome here—the team is patient with kids and the menu has familiar options like butter chicken, chicken masala with rice, and even simple pastas. Portions are sensible rather than oversized, so add a paratha (€2-2.5) to keep hearty eaters happy.
