Barka Saffron - București

I think this is the second best Indian restaurant in Bucharest. OK-ish selection of wines and beer. Could be a good place for lunch in the north of Bucharest. Try it again.

Bland is too animated an adjective to describe the state of the curry served here. The staff was very kind and the atmosphere very relaxed, but this is one of those restaurants in Bucharest that's intended for the kind of Romanian who dislikes foreign food...but wants to play at trying the gastronomical offerings of other cultures. Do not eat here expecting any spiciness or kick to your food.

The place has some history and it is visible in the way it looks. It is hate it or love it, as it looks like an outdated pub corner bodega with writing on the walls and vintage books. The waiter was polite, attentive and efficient. The menu is mostly Indian, Asian and some American International dishes. The prices are varied, a bit high for some dishes, better for others. The cheese burger is 39 ron, bun is very basic bread, the meat was small double meatball with good vegetables and dry potatoes. Good size for the burger. The appetizers are good deal, we had the onion meatballs. The lamb saag was tasty, but very small dish for 45 ron, 7 small pieces of meat and no side dish included. Overall tasty food but not delicious, small or medium portions, some expensive for the quality and size. Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, but no solid reason to return for us.

Great place with a very nice vibe….writings on the walls are a really great idea. Food was delicious, I had the green curry and the cardamom pistachio icecream. Himal was very kind and attentive in supporting us with our order of food and everything. I do recommend.

Cozy place+fair prices and great service. The waitress who speaks English was so polite and helpful. I do recommend the location.
