Indian Jewel

Staré Město


A long, vaulted room in a medieval building makes an elegant setting for an award-winning Indian restaurant, resplendent with marble floors, chunky wooden chairs, copper tableware and restrained oriental decor. Tables spill into the courtyard in summer. The huge menu impresses, too, with light and flaky parathas, richly spiced sauces and plenty of fire in the hotter curries.
