Achiana - Saint-Laurent-du-Var

Achiana is a wonderful restaurant with great food and friendly service. You always have great food. Sadly it is shutting this week oct 16, 2016 as the local council has forced all businesses in the port of st Laurent to close. The good news is that they will be reopening again soon in nearby Grasse. I would recommend that you check out the new location when it opens. I certainly will be.

We ordered Butter Chicken, Lamb Madras, Keema Nan, Basmati rice with cumin, Raita, Dal Tarka, Sheesh Kabab, Eggplant and had drinks while we waiting, seated in the welcoming indoor dining area. The dining area was full of orchids and beautiful statues and carvings. There is a terrasse on the side of the restaurant filled with plants and both have a beautiful view of the port of Saint Laurent. When we got home, we had a feast! It was delicious, full of amazing flavours, textures and absolutely worth our drive there! We will definitely go back to eat there!

Service was a let down this time, new waiters (apparently all the high chairs were broken), service is slow (but I think this is because they like the restaurant to feel busy) but food is still good at reasonable prices. The owner remembered us from last year and if you feel like an Indian then this is the place to visit.

Best authentic food . Great warm service . Family orientated. Great advise when your not fluent French speaking. Wine is good. New decor helps massively from my last visit. The manager owner is great with all his clients. Went to kashmir few restaurants before and found the opposite warm service . Oh check out the desert too. Prices are better than kashmir too fyi!

I have had the pleasure of eating here for the last few years with my family who live localy. It is possibly the best Indian restaurant that I know of in France; I live in Paris.Excellent choice of food. Can be very spicy as found in the UK if you like that - I do! Often in France the sauces are not spicy enough for my liking.Very friendly owner always ready to give advice and to drop a curtious word.It also has a large awning to keep you in the shade from the summer sun.
