Bucharest | Restaurants | Indian

We have been coming here since the last century, when there was precious little choice in Bucharest for people wanting something a little different; a little more spicy. Now there is plenty of choice but we still trot up to Barka whenever we can. On our last visit we went for the lamb with spinach in tomato sauce which was as good as we had hoped. The onion bhajis remain Bucharest's best. First class cocktail list. [...]

Indian food at The Ark for the cogniscenti. Amarjit used to cook over at Barka Saffron, but long ago set out on his own. His place at The Ark is a kind of gourmet fast-food kind of stall around the back, where he cooks a few dishes for the hip young international crowd that throngs here to blow its money as fast as it can at weekends. Eat at the wooden tables, something you can do even when it rains courtesy of a massive waterproof sheet.
