Indian Kitchen (Yindu Xiaochu)
This small, cozy restaurant deep in the heart of the French Concession is a favorite with locals and expatriates for authentic and reasonably priced Indian food. A glass-enclosed kitchen allows you see Indian chefs whipping up nan anddosas,and skewering the tandoori chicken you'll soon be eating. The extensive picture menu takes into account local tastes (crab masala, anyone?), but for the most part covers all the Indian classics, and well. Besides the signature chicken tandoori, the mutton curry and the flaky spring onionparotasare especially fine. Staff seems a little hesitant at times, but the line that forms nightly outside the door should be plenty reassuring.
