Since 1997, this Indian restaurant has stood out for its traditional Tandoor oven, its good selection of Italian wines and excellent sauces. Meals come to a deliciously flavoursome end with a "cocktail" of seeds, spices and raisins to chew on. A gracious welcome in three softly lit rooms (one for smokers).

One of the best known Eritrean restaurants in Milan.
