Aiming to lure in spice-starved tourists (especially curry-loving Brits) and educate Cuban palates in the nuances of Indian food, the Buena Vista Curry Club is a brave venture in a country unaccustomed to fiery phals and spicy paneers.
If you came here purely out of curiosity, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the chicken tikka masala, blistered naan (yes, they have a tandoori oven) and aromatic basmati rice.
Pair your food with an icy Cristal beer and round everything off with a cardamom-laced kulfi dessert. The shady interior – a mix of Cuban and Indian motifs – hosts live music most nights, while a small booth out front dispatches pungent samosas on selected days.
