Loved by Many
Stopped by Santa's Kitchen for an early dinner in Budapest. The menu had the usual and many new and interesting Indian dishes. We ordered Paneer Do Pyaaza with Tawa Roti. The food took a while to arrive but the taste, quantity and quality was worth the wait. We had requested extra spicy food, which was well customized for the Paneer. The restaurant was mostly busy (even at 6 in the evening) and the overall vibe was of happy customers & great food. Highly recommended ✨Also, Bollywood music in the background is ♥️
We went to Santa’s Kitchen this evening.
I had a Chicken Madras. It was the most amazing Indian dish I’ve ever had. The care of freshly grinding, blending and toasting the spices made my tastebuds snap crackle and pop before enveloping me in a warm comfortable state of heaven. This is not overstating it at all!
Good food takes a while to prepare but…..oh yes it’s worth it.
The whole family loved it and the mango lassi had fresh cardamom on top which was a nice touch.
Thank you and see you soon 😀😀😀

I like Indian food and this was probably restaurant with the best Indian food that I ever had. Soup, drink and food - everything was very delicious. Service was very friendly. I would definitely recommend! And surely I will come back one day to try something different.
