3. Doli

   

   In the heart of the Salamanca neighbourhood, there is a teleporter to an eastern country full of fragrant spices and spicy dishes. It is the creation of Indian chef Singh Sukwinder. This cosy spot pays great attention to the quality of its ingredients and to the spice blends they prepare themselves. The pakoras and chicken tikka masala are well worth trying.

6. Indian Aroma

   

   This is the favourite Indian restaurant of Reina Letizia, who celebrated her birthday here and often visits. It is worth coming for its authentic flavours. And, of course, you have to try the curries: the classic chicken tikka masala, but the best are the tandoori, cooked in a tandoor oven.

8. Bombay Palace

   

   Another kingdom of flavours in the Lavapiés area. The Indian restaurant is simply furnished, but it does not lose its charm. They are famous for their sauces: you always have to order an extra portion of naan to mop up the sides.

9. Purnima

   

   This place transports you to the jungle thanks to its ceiling decorated with plant motifs and the wallpaper on the walls. But come here for the delicious curries, tandoori, and spicy rice.
