Dhaba – Indian Restuarant

Near the Mercado Central, you’ll find a great little Indian restaurant and cocktail bar named Dhaba in the Plaza Don Juan de Villarrasa (location).

We went last week for the Menú del Día, for €10 a head, and really enjoyed the food — served under a concept called “Thali”:

Thali is a concept created for people who want to sample the wide array of Hindu cooking. Thali consists of various dishes, called “Kaulis”. Our Thalis include seven Kaulis which are… salad, yellow lentils, salted vegetables, basmati rice, curry, raita, and a dessert. You can choose between 4 different Thalis: Fish, Vegetarian, Chicken and Lamb (translated from Dhaba’s menu)

We tried the chicken and the lamb, and everything was delicious, particularly the curry and dessert. 7 dishes sounds daunting, but each one is small, and we didn’t feel overly full after the meal was done.

The interior is modestly and tastefully decorated, and the service is good. The person serving us came from Britain (we’re guessing), so non-Spanish speakers should have nothing to fear here. Dhaba is also open at night for dinner and drinks.
