Reviews
Spacious seating & nice lighting, enthusiastic and kind service , smiling welcome & quick service even at closing hours . Food itself is very good with perfect crispness to the naan and balanced flavour & texture to butter chicken I had. Please arrive early before 8.00 to avoid disappointment. I went just at the closing but chef was kind to let me in as an exception. Very tasty food and lovely ambiance, living upto the name and mustache of shopping at Lafayette and also otherwise . Situated in former Lafayette building and very close to RER station (3 mins walkable) . For great Indian flavors do visit .
The food was delicious and the service was amazing. A great little getaway near the Galleria mall in Paris. The kids had chicken tikka masala and dahl, which was savory and delicious — we finished every bite. 100% recommended, and we’ll definitely be coming back for more!
Authentic taste, great ambience, friendly service. Paneer Tikka masala, naan and corn salad was delicious. Great to communicate in English as well. I will be back. Recommended!
The food was not great, not even average. Ordered the paneer curry, gravy was watery. Dal makhani was good but not really wow. The nans were soft but well who goes to a restaurant for nan. The mango lassi was good so can definitely try that. But that’s it. The 2 stars are for service and only service, would give half a star for food. The manager on the day was really good, he was able to accommodate additional requests, he did bring my side salad despite being very busy. The restaurant was too crowded on the day we were there and he was running around trying to manage everything. He also brought the complimentary mango lassi for the kiddo while we were waiting when the food was getting delayed. Overall, I will not go back again though. Over priced items probably because it’s in a mall but zero taste.
The Crossing – Indian Bistro (Galeries Lafayette Gourmet, Paris) Hands down the best Indian food in Paris. We came for lunch and were genuinely impressed — every dish, from the starters to the mains to the breads, was perfectly executed with clean flavours and beautiful balance. The service was fast, attentive, and seamless, matching the quality of the food without ever feeling rushed. A must-visit when you’re at Galeries Lafayette — located in the Gourmet building, it’s the ideal stop for an exceptional meal between shopping. Highly recommended.
