Le Caudan

Réunion


Tasty Indo-Mauritian snacks and ready-made meals are the order of the day at this under-the-radar neighbourhood venture set in a small Creole house with an appealing colourful interior. The homemade biryani is the speciality here. For dessert, try the minsoob (egg yolk with butter and cardamom). A cardamom tea will round things off nicely. Takeaways available.
