O Saveurs D'orient - Istres

After 10 days of French, Italian food it feels good to come here for some spicy Biryani. This is a Pakistani Indian restaurant with some amazing dishes on their menu. It is located in a small alley but the restaurant is clean, well maintained with a friendly staff. Very happy to discover it.

I had just about given up trying to find a good indian restaurant in France ironically, the one I did find was named O 'Pakistan ! I just ate at a highly rated Indian restaurant in Bordeaux two nights ago, and it was disappointing. This place does not disappoint! I ordered the vegetarian Thali, which I highly recommend it comes with about 8 different dishes (small, of course , and three sauces. The spicy sauce was actually hot! Yay!!! Of course, I coughed quite a bit at the end, but spicy food always does that to me. The ambience was definitely good carved chairs, lots of hand drawn murals in the street outside, carved wood everywhere. The service was fast (although I was the first person in the restaurant that night . Yes, there were people selling roses, but they didn 't bother me. Every dish on my thali was excellent! I was SO HAPPY, I could have died right then and there! The mint sauce and the spicy (yellow sauce were great. There were dals, pakoras, rice, what seemed to be a malai kofta, a potato patty, some sort of mushroom thingy, and it came with bread. Plus, they have Ricard! ; My only disappointment was that they didn 't have Rasmalai for dessert; wikipedia says it is eaten in Pakistan, so, why not? Anyway, I hope I get a chance to eat there again before I leave Marseille!

Good Indian ! Reviewer is new to Marseille, happy to find a good Indian restaurant here. Dishes were well spiced and well presented. Small selection of breads, and they were out of Indian beer. Overall, worth a try!

On se croirait chez des amis !! Et la cuisine est exceptionnelle. Une vraie cuisine du coeur.Franchement si vous êtes dans le secteur faites un détour car cela le vaut vraiment !!!!

J'y étais allé au début et j'y suis retourné 3 ans plus tard, c'était toujours aussi immonde. Livraison pas professionnelle (et payante, LOL), nourriture absolument dégueulasse, la graine autant que le couscous relevaient du plat surgelé et je ne rigole pas. Couscous fade avec le gout de l'eau, graine immonde, viande en petite quantité, légumes mal cuits mal coupés fades, personnel hautain et pas professionnel, je suis très sérieux lorsque je dis que vous aurez certainement un meilleur couscous avec un plat industriel.Le prix est complètement HALLUCINANT, c'est le couscous le plus cher que j'ai jamais vu.Il n'y a rien à sauver dans ce restaurant, je suis consterné par tout ces faux avis car je suis désolé mais ce n'est pas possible de bien noter un restaurant aussi immonde.Il faudrait vraiment que le patron redescende sur terre avec ses sites prétentieux, ce restaurant est l'un des pires que j'ai jamais vu.
