Not fast food — it's tradition
Behind every dish there is a 400°C oven, freshly ground spices and 15 years of craft. That can't be improvised.
The tandoor
400°C of fire and tradition
The tandoor is a vertical clay oven where the fire tops 400°C. That heat seals the meat outside and keeps it juicy inside, with a smoky note impossible to imitate in a normal oven.
The spices
Ground every morning
Garam masala, cumin, turmeric and cardamom are toasted and ground the same day. That is why every sauce has an aroma that never comes out of a jar or a ready-meal.
The hand that cooks
15 years of Punjabi craft
Hamza Javed trained in India alongside tandoor masters. He cooks as he would for his own family, and you notice it in every bite.
Why we're the Indian reference in El Bierzo
We don't tone the flavours down to go unnoticed: we serve them as they are in northern India, with the spice adjusted to your taste.
Authentic clay tandoor, spices ground daily and slow-cooked curries. Zero ready-meals, zero shortcuts.
And vegan and vegetarian options treated with the same care as any other dish, never as a mere side.
Behind it all is Hamza Javed, with more than 15 years of craft. Discover his story →
A vegan-friendly Indian restaurant
Yes, you can eat really well here if you are vegan or vegetarian, and we mean proper dishes, not a side salad.
Vegetable curries, lentil dal, spiced basmati rice, tandoori vegetables and fresh starters, all with the same freshly ground spices.
Just tell us and we will make any dish fully vegan, and we always flag what contains dairy or ghee.
A rare find on the Camino: great vegan Indian food in the centre of Ponferrada.
