Mandala
Restaurants 25 January 2016 0
Celebrating their 10th birthday this year, Mandala is well on its way to becoming a Warsaw institution. But rather than resting on their laurels, the management are using this landmark anniversary as an opportunity to rejig the menu and update their offer: no more skimping on ingredients, no more...

Choila
Restaurants 6 January 2016 0
Perhaps not the most convenient location, so you really are pretty brave making it out here – disappointing doesn’t even cover it. Presenting the dishes of Nepal and the Himalayas, gorgeous sounding dishes transpire to be gloopy offerings more reminiscent of the cut-price budget food cabins you once found... Read more
Namaste
Restaurants 1 November 2015 0
Responsible for first bringing quality, budget Indian food to Warsaw, Namaste found themselves losing their way somewhat. Now back on track – and with a newly expanded upstairs section – one Insider correspondent goes so far as to claim a recent trip as his ‘favorite Indian for years!’ Namaste... Read more
Rani
Restaurants 9 October 2015 0
Mere steps from Metro Natolin, this restaurant’s catchment area goes beyond just Ursynów. Owner Samir is a self-confessed foodie, and his vision includes a contemporary Indian menu that features pan-seared cod with turmeric, tomato salsa and mint chutney – wonderful. Rani will also please the traditionalists, with everything from... Read more
Build it and they will come, so goes the saying. But what works in the films doesn’t always work with restaurants. Take Aroma & Taste as an example. Buried in the darkest, dankest depths of Wola, you struggle to imagine just who would visit this edge of the world... Read more
A subterranean multi-tap found in the depths of the fishing institute. Artisan beers rule the roost here (there’s 15 taps and stacks more beer in the fridge), a point underlined by a glass coffin of mainstream macro lager. While the bar gets loud and rackety, sweaty and sticky, that’s... Read more
Parivar
Restaurants 30 July 2015 0
The squid sizzler has the taste and texture of that chewing gum you found stuck under the bus seat, whil e the vindaloo is cunningly disguised as a bowl of red water with some chicken floating about. “I get better curry on the oil rigs,” opined the Insider’s official... Read more
Mr India
Restaurants 7 July 2015 0
Split on two levels the design is contemporary if a little characterless: leather banquettes that leave a sweaty bum print and wood paneling. No problem though, if it looks bland then the food isn’t. That means an incredible butter chicken that’s deep and immensely satisfying. Then there’s the vindaloo... Read more
Chmielarnia
Restaurants 26 June 2015 0
Not only does Chmielarnia house some of the world’s best beers (see Going Out), but also – as the shrine by the door may suggest – a very decent Indian restaurant. Sure, you’re eating in a dark and loud beer cellar (to us that’s a bonus), but the Nepalese... Read more
Buddha
Restaurants 17 June 2015 0
The days of the Raj are recreated in Buddha, a fine-looking curry house with intricate interiors and top-drawer curries. The murgh masala jhodphur is a favorite of ours though the real plus here is the consistency: it’s always a solid bet. Buddha ul. Nowy Świat 23, tel. 22 826... Read more
