Palais de Shayan - Béziers

I was so glad I spent as long as I did finding this tucked away gem. Excellent food and friendly, helpful waiter.

Welcoming, nice atmosphere, open views into kitchen. Menu offers wide choice. Slightly surprised to find that what was ordered was not what arrived, although it was very tasty. The starters appear to be large portions and there is a tendancy to over order. Main courses...varied enormously. The overall bill was significantly higher than we had expected,,however we could not fault the cooking which was excellent.

I'm fine, they'll visit when they're in beziers. as a target may not. I'd go back, but I wouldn't mind.

As a regular Indian restaurant goer (4-6 times a month,) it is always good to try different. I would say that it is a very average Indian restaurant. the service was good, but not on the place for me.

Pre booked a table here for a Wednesday evening via Tripadvisor which then gave us a 20% discount off the food. The menu was compact although there was something for everyone on there, the food was beyond our expectations with each dish tasting really authentic...and the owner was keen to please tailoring each curry to our own preference strength wise. The meat was tender and the portions of a good size. The restaurant itself was clean and tidy with an open kitchen and several locals came in to eat or for takeaways whilst we were there which I always consider a good sign. Four starters, four mains, three portions of rice, two nan, a bottle of wine, three beers, one orangina and two coffees came to €90 which we found extremely reasonable. All round good food, excellent service makes it well worth a visit!
