An Indian in Paris

Sunday night in Paris. Vegetarian food? Ha! No point in even trying a smart French restaurant for that sort of thing. The best thing to do if you want cheap and veggie in Paris is go ethnic. Moroccan or cous-cous, Indian, Chinese, whatever.
Close to our hotel we found Restaurant Sabraj (175, rue Saint Jacques, 75005 Paris, tel: 01 43 26 70 03). Our main criteria for choosing it? It was covered in hammered and punched tin and copper sheet. The door, the windows, the whole frontage was done in an Indian styled metal makeover. Inside was the same. The tables were old doors covered in glass and filled behind the glass with spices and herbs.
And one thing you see in France that you just don't get in the UK is people dining alone and reading, looking perfectly happy and pretentiously intellectual, as they do so well in France.
What did we eat? Can't remember specifics, but it was creamy soft curries with good spicing, naan breads, etc. It was supposed to be a northern Indian, Kashmiri driven menu, but I don't know enough to judge its authenticity. But it was good.
