Oh, India, sweet India, how I love thee.. always a favorite when eating out in Portland (good lord, how many times was I given the bum's rush at India House for taking to long to eat lunch....), Indian food has been a much-missed part of my "old life" now that I am in France. Having a French husband who thinks salt and pepper is wildly spicy, nothing of this ilk is usually on our "eat out" itinerary...However, on a recent visit to Paris to get my hair done, me and my peeps (Michelle Americaine and Michelle Rosbif, as Patrice has so un-PC-ingly christened them) had the best lunch there - all for about 8 euros and all while watching the Pope's visit safely from the big-screen TV. This was definitely not your "westernized" Indian food. We were the only non-Indians in the restaurant and the fact that my eyes were watering, I knew the 'hotness" was perfect.
I was lucky to make another visit last week with my friend Becky, who was here for the wedding. We had the best meal and watched a great Bollywood film while doing so, afterward buying some spiced coffee - coffee with ginger and coriander - at the massive food market next door.
For those passing this way, Ganesha is located in the Little India of Paris, metro La Chapelle. turn left out of the station, walk down Rue Louis Blanc and take the first turn to the right.
