Indus Tandoor


Indian restaurants are rather thin on the ground in Cracow so we're very happy that Indus is flying the flag. Here you can find all the traditional favourites that you'd expect from an Indian owned restaurant, and all cooked up in an authentic tandoori oven. Indus has drawn a host of loyal fans, not least because of its very cheap business lunch. For 12 zlotys you can feast on dal, chicken curry and a basket of nan bread. Not bad for central Cracow.

"Hopeless service and poor food. First thing the waitress tells us is that there are no more meat dishes left. We order some vegetarian and fish dishes and ask for them to be medium/hot. More people arrive who all of a sudden seem to be able to order lamb and chicken dishes.... which is just rude. When our food arrives, all three dishes are the mildest curry you ever tasted. There's just no curry in the curry. Waitress is grumpy, for Poland the prices are on the expensive side. A no goer that I would not recommend to anybody. "

"Poor quality and the service was painfully slow. Food not fresh, probably cooked serveral days in advance and recycled several times. Any restuarant that can't be bothered to even change the dirty table cloths between sittings simply cannot have good hygine practises in the kitchen. Cant comment on whether this level poor service is just this restuarant or indicative of Polands establishments in general, as Indus was our first meal in Krakow. Not looking forward to more meals here....anyone tell me where the nearest McDonalds is??"

"I am a very regular customer for many years and the waitress never ever smiles at me. but if I go with anyone then she always smiles at the other person..its strange. but the food is fine and the location is great. She isn't nasty just not very happy...leaving generous tips doesn't help either. maybe she has a bad home life or something... Don't sack her please. Maybe someone should start a Facebook club for her, called Fawlty Curry or something"

"Ate here last Tuesday. Really not bad at all. The set menus are decent value (you get a sort of metal tray with a number of dishes) with the rice particularly tasty. The waitress is not too friendly but there is a young Indian waiter who is very pleasant and seems to do most of the work these days. OK"

""I came to Poland last February and since then I've food at Indus regularly may be 10 times in a week times and each time the food was excellent. I also find the prices very reasonable too. The service is good but better with a smile, however it's never stopped me from going back. Definately one of my favourite restaurants in Krakow with almost similar test like India. "

"The restaurant was empty except for one man sitting at the back. An empty resstaurant is never a good sign. We were amused to have the menues literally slapped down on the table as we had read the previous reviews about the delightful waitress. Everything we ordered was off the menu as the delivery of chicken had not arrived - the lamb was also strangely not available. We left!!!"

"I think as long as you realise that the waitress here doesn't just hate you but each and every diner you'll enjoy it. Happy to see most other people found the same thing - how does she keep a job?! I came here for the first time after 2 weeks of solid polish food, which I do love, but the chicken madras tasted fantastic - very nice and spicy. Agree with other reviewer though, poppadoms were a tad off. Liked the samosas though!"

"we were there on the 10/04/07 The waiteress was not an Indian and her sari was terribly worn. Me and my wife between us could not make her smile even ONCE. It was not really busy but she was working alone. The food was ok but it badly lacked a SMILE. Will not go again and I'm Indian from UK"

"Namaste, I went to this restaurant since its opening at least twice a week or more often - for more than half a year. The cook is from Colaba, Mumbai and knows how to prepare his dishes. The service I got was excellent, the food I got was excellent and if you want to have a chat about real things in Indian life you have to drop in there (Indian TV included). Ask and negotiate about party service, you won't be disappointed. One review stated a bad quality: the author might know Indian cuisine but should keep in mind that in Poland different ingredients are available than back home in India. Bigos and Pierogi might tast different in India too. It's the food and the people which makes this place special. A must close to rynek if you are fed up with Babcia Maliny. Try it - rate it."

"Myself and freinds went to the Indus in April 05. After sampling The Old Towns finest bars, we all decided a curry was in order and were all looking forward to it . Unfortunately the Indus was a major disappointment ! The Staff were freindly enough but the food was terrible , and this was a unanimous verdict from all 5 of us. The starters : Popadoms , were out of a packet and were some how curled up and burnt ! These were served with what was meant to be a mint sauce but was a firey hot one and also another sauce which seemed to be a homemade concoction combing a smokey type barbecue sauce and tomato ketchup and god knows what else -It was disgusting and was not mango chutney ! Samosa's : were piping hot which was good , but were poorly made , thick doughy pastry and sub standard filling. Main meals - All the curry's (lamb and chicken dishes ) were a type of stewy affair with no fresh ingredients- I believe only packet spices were used and they were poorly chosen. The quality of the meat was also extremely poor (and may even have come out of a can). They also took 2 orders for lamb only to return to say they had run out of lamb! Sundries : Rice and Naan were perfectly fine. Service : OK Overall: I am not sure wether the owners know no better or are new to the restaurant business/ Indian Cuisine but the food simply was not good enough. Maybe they are getting away with this because alot of clientelle are Curry novices and know no better. But if anyone likes Indian food / Curry I would not recommend the Indus , unless it improves drastically ! "
