We stumbled upon this place during our stay in zermatt, very close to where we were staying. The waitress was very helpful and friendly and chatted to us for awhile, service was quick and the place was very cosy on a cold rainy day! The food and drinks were delecious and well priced too. Would recommend!

We hit the pipe when we first arrived in Zermatt. The food was on the order of thai...but I have had better elsewhere. The menu was extensive and service was very good but the curry portion size was a bit small . I was feeling jealous of my daughter who ordered a yummy looking BLT with french fries. I think... More

Literally just ate there tonight and it was delicious. One of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. The service was very friendly - I can think of no way to improve the experience. We'll be back for sure!

A good place for a casual but well thought out selection of Indian and Mexican food. Service is good, bill for two adults and two kids was 85 CHF not bad for Zermatt. Not open every day but a good alternative to Fondue.

Perfectly cooked food - springbok biryani and prawn massaman curry were exceptional. Combined with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and excellent service, this would be a hard act to beat.

Agree with other reviewers that the food was stand-out. It's all over the map, in the best way possible. Each dish brought big flavors that I happen to adore, and even with a healthy spice level, which is nearly impossible to find in Switzerland. In addition, meat was perfectly prepared meat, vegetables not overdone, samosas nice and crispy. The owner... More

Would definitely recommend this restaurant as the staff and the food are excellent. This is a fusion restaurant which seems to mix thai and indian together the smell of the spices as you enter is wonderful. I had a prawn dish and the prawns were absolutely enormous and tasted absolutely wonderful. My husband had a biryiani dish which was amazing... More

We reached hotel at 5.30PM. The kitchen closes at 5PM on saturdays. However, they arranged to provide us with something to eat. We has samosas and vegetable soup. Both were awesome. The imli ki chutney was good. They also recommended other restaurants were we can get Veg food.
