Food was good especially the kothu parotta
Ambiance was more natural and chaotic.
But for quick in and out it was good experience with good food.

Muniyandi Vilas is Sri Lankan, located in the heart of Paris's Sri Lankan/South Asian community east of Gare du Nord. It's small, incredibly busy, amazingly inexpensive, and has some of the BEST Sri Lankan food we've ever had (and we've been to Sri Lanka). We ordered the Vegetarian Thali (an assortment of curries, rice, and chutneys), plain paratha (we watched them making it in the window), a masala dosa, and chicken tikka. Every dish was stunning, but most impressive was the paratha. This was our 3rd or 4th time here - and it's definitely on our must-go-back list whenever we're in Paris.

Near Gare du Nord and looking for a quick bite? It might be worth a stop here, but not for the curry. If you plan to take away, you're served quickly; if you eat there, be prepared to practice your patience (the waiters are too busy to serve you), and to share your table with strangers (limited seating).

The place looks like a dystopian McDonalds, with red plastic chairs stuck close together, mirrors, dark marbled tables with turmeric stains and a strange green tinge to the walls. All dishes but the talis, which were served on silver platters, were thrown together on pink plastic plates covered in Chinese characters.

While the parottas are great with vegetable accompaniments (I had three that were proposed that day: spicy eggplant, cashew and okra, and the ubiquitous dal), I would steer clear of the curries. My lamb curry tasted overwhelmingly of lamb, but there was almost no meat--it was pure oil, bones, and gristle. I had also asked for it to be spicy, which it was not. After a few minutes of searching for a decent piece of meat, I gave up and pushed it aside. My partner's beef curry bowl tasted principally of creamy ginger and he, too, didn't finish.

If I find myself hungry in this area again, I'll just get a beignet or parotta to go.

Do not miss this place if you are in paris ! Amazing food and amazing management ! We ended up visiting this restaurant twice !

Their lamb curry was most authentic and lip smacking. The parata was premade and reheated but did taste good. Kottuparata was also ok. But the chicken tikka masala was really bad. It was more like indo-chinese chili chicken, they has used ketchup to make it and it taste sweet. The chicken was also premade and very hard to eat. Would suggest getting only parata and curry. Also this has no connection with the Muniyandi Villas near San Jose, California

I sat for some time in quiet desperation at tables of Indian Subcontinent restos being served underspiced curries made for des langues françaises.  It's when I get the bill, I have a chance to practice cursing in Hindi.  
They get it. France is expensive, cold, and underspiced.  Then at their resto, they serve this chick with accented French who begs them to make her a tikka masala "comme chez vous," and then can't believe their ears when they hear an almost perfectly accented "madar****" after being handed the bill.  This usually proceeds with them making me drink another chai to find out how I learned to speak like a Bombay taxi driver.  

I haven't learned yet how you wax poetic gros mots in Tamil, but there's no need at this cheap little canteen.  Spicy veggies, parothas, and chai for 3 euros.  Yup, trois euros.

Very good authentic Indian food. 
Vegetarian mixed dish for 7.50 €.
Don't be disincuraged by the street its on, its a bit srcuffy,  but still worth it !

Excellent food at bargain prices. 

For €3.90 you get the "Mini Parrota" which is a hand-crafted piece of circular bread, three curries (lentil, eggplant and beetroot on the day I was there) as well as two chutneys and a sweet milk tea. Wow. What a bargain. (see photo)

They open at 11 am so go early to get a seat. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is very, very good. They do a booming business, and for good reason.

You couldn't eat anywhere else in Paris for under €4, tea included. The tourists will pay more for their espresso at Le Café Flore.

Very strongly recommended! :)

I've been looking for good, authentic Indian food for a while now, and this was just the place. The flavors rival anything the Indian restaurants of the U.K. And US have to offer. Seriously such a wonderful meal. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 however is the bone shards in every single meal. Lamb, beef and chicken all had them in.

Hole in a wall but very authentic tamil restaurant. Have not tasted this good food since I left Chennai 18 years ago. Great find. Please be aware that it is very cramped inside.
