A taste of India in the French Riviera

Popular plate: Try the lamb Delhi Belhi - tender pieces of marinated lamb in an aromatic almond and cashew sauce. Mop the plate with a fluffy garlic naan.

Word to the wise: If the restaurant is full, try excellent Mediterranean eatery Chat Noir, Chat Blanc next door.

For anyone who has been to India and suffered the savage moniker of this restaurant, it's difficult not to enter this eatery without a degree of trepidation. But the fear needn't dissuade you.

Despite there being several Indian restaurants in the city, few manage to do justice to the authentic flavours that a good tandoori or curry deserve - except for Delhi Belhi, a family-run restaurant achieves just that with a traditional Indian menu featuring favourites such as tender chicken tikka and tangy lamb madras served in a warm and inviting environment. They also do excellent cocktails to take the edge off.
