Kashmir Café is a no-frills Indian spot in Croix de Chavaux that locals have been quietly loving for years. You'll find generous portions of classic dishes like butter chicken and lamb rogan josh at very reasonable prices, especially during their weekday lunch specials. It's not fancy, but the food is consistently solid and the Thursday "buy one, get one 50% off" deal is a real steal for a group dinner.
Solid neighborhood Indian spot with great value
Kashmir Café has been a staple in Montreuil's Croix de Chavaux neighborhood for years, offering straightforward, well-executed Indian cuisine without the pretension of more touristy spots. The menu covers all the classics—butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, various biryanis—and while nothing will blow your mind, everything is reliably tasty and generously portioned. The Thursday promotion (buy one main, get the second 50% off) makes it a great option for sharing with friends or family.
The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, with warm lighting and simple Indian decor. Service is friendly but can be slow during peak hours, so patience is advised. Don't come expecting a refined dining experience; this is a neighborhood spot where you go for good, affordable food. The lunch menus are particularly good value, and the takeaway service works well if you're grabbing a quick meal. It's the kind of place you'll keep coming back to without ever feeling like you need to dress up.
