This is a tight squeeze. It is going to be very tough to get a table. There is always going to be a queue and you might have to share your table with other people. With that being said, if you have the time would 100% recommend waiting and trying the food here. It is absolutely worth it. We were lucky enough to get a table within 10 mins of waiting. Ordered for the Parotta and beef curry and it didn’t disappoint. It is perfectly cooked home style food. The rose milk was the icing on the cake. If you’re in a dilemma, stop thinking and go queue up!

The parotta is the best I have had so far! It was fresh, perfectly flaky and soft. I also ate chicken curry which was tasty and my friend had a vegetarian plate, which tasted great too. Would visit again.

A bit of a busy place. The food was great, and I love the karak tea, or whatever they call it.

I am writing this review because I am pleased about the food and service here. I took two of my friends(Italian and French), and they also enjoyed it. Coming from Tamilnadu, I can easily say the mutton curry is as authentic as how you get it at home. I cried because I was both happy and couldn't tolerate the happiness!! I highly recommend this place!!

Food was very good. No so much chicken on the curry but the curry itself was so tasty. Totally worthy to wait in the line!

Muniyandi Vilas is my go-to spot for a taste of home in Paris. Their authentic Indian and Sri Lankan dishes cater primarily to the local expat community, offering flavors that transport me back to the subcontinent. While the spice levels can vary, it's best to check your tolerance before ordering. Overall, it's a hidden gem that satisfies my cravings for familiar, unadulterated flavors in a city far from home.
