Lal Qila - Lyon

If you are looking an absolutely horrible meal. Rice is watery, curry has no taste at all and nan bread is the size of a coin. Whoever owns this place needs to have a long hard look at themselves. Would never go back ever ever...in a million years. Just so gutted we wasted our money on it. Now have to go to get proper food.

Lacks a vegetarian menu, but does have a number of veggie options. Tried the veg samosa and veg pakora starters. Both very nice, especially with tasty pickles. Main course for me was tarka dhall, tasty enough, but as usual in France lacking in spice.

Hard to resist the smell of Indian food....even if you 're in the middle of gastronomic Lyon, and traditional boucherons are everywhere. We succumbed. The restaurant is cosy and interestingly decorated inside. Service is very friendly. Prices are reasonable. But I 'm afraid I just didn 't find...the food particularly exciting. Perhaps French palates aren 't as used to spicy Indian food as us Brits, but my lamb madras was bland, innocuous, and just well lacking spice. The meat was tender but it wasn 't much more than tepid in temperature either. The other dishes were ok peas potato, Kashmiri rice, fluffy cheesy naan breads, and Gill enjoyed her lamb spinach but overall it didn;t feel authentic enough for me. Perhaps we should have eaten at a boucheron after all.....
