I recently had the pleasure of dining at Indien Bollywood Restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. Located in France and in a town named Genéve. Their menu offered a wide range of options, which catered for all dietary requirements, from vegan to gluten-free. This was a pleasant surprise because as some with dietary restrictions, I was thrilled to see extensive options available. They also had a variety of drinks, such as wines, beer, juice, and traditional drinks. All of the items seemed over expensive, however, the quality of the food was worth the cost. The restaurant was targeted towards people looking for a quiet and enjoyable two-person dining experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who escorted us to a beautifully decorated restaurant table. The restaurant's decor created a lovely atmosphere with inviting warm ambient lighting, intricate wooden carvings, vibrant artwork, and stylish light features that added the touch needed. Its well-spaced seating arrangements created a cosy setting, and soft background music added to the overall ambience, creating a delightful dining experience. The friendly and helpful staff further enhanced the experience, making us feel like valued customers, and making us feel at home. For our appetiser, we choose the Samosa Chaat. Although it didn’t quite live up to our expectations, it was still a decent dish. The flavours were unique, unlike anything I'd tasted before, and despite the samosas being slightly undercooked, we admired the attempt to put a creative spin on the traditional favourite. Moving on to the main course, the Paneer Butter Masala and Dal Makhani were the way to go. I don’t regret getting these for my main course because everything about them was perfect. The PBM was well-cooked, and though it leaned towards the sweeter side, it was still enjoyable. The Dal Makhani was an absolute delight. The flavours were perfectly balanced, and the creamy texture was divine. I couldn’t get enough of it. The garlic naans we had with the curries were exceptional. They were fluffy like soft pillows and tasted like heaven. It had the perfect amount of garlic and butter, which made us order a few extras to fulfil our carvings. We also had the vegetable biryani as a side, which didn’t quite hit the mark, as the rice and the spices felt undercooked. For our dessert, we treated ourselves to Gulab Jamuns and Keser Kulfi. The Gulab Jamuns were tasty, though they were a bit too sweet for my liking. However, the Keser Kulfi was pleasant, it had a smooth consistency and with its pleasing taste in my mouth, it made me crave more. One way this dessert could have been even better was by adding ice cream on the side. Ice cream and gulab jamun are the best combinations, and I was disappointed to see that this restaurant had not thought about this. The culinary experience of my visit was mostly enjoyable, I would like to mention a slight concern about the restaurant's cleanliness. It seemed like the tablecloths weren’t appropriately washed as there were minor visible stains of curries and small amounts of accumulated crumbs. Despite the minor setbacks, I would like to highlight that the positives of this restaurant outweigh the negatives by a lot. The friendly staff, a wide variety of menu choices, and some standout dishes like the Dal Makhani and Garlic Naans made the experience worthwhile and memorable. Overall, I had a pleasant dining experience at Indien Bollywood Restaurant and I would recommend it to others looking for delicious menu options with great service in a comfortable setting and delightful atmosphere. With a few adjustments to the sweetness level in some dishes and a bit more attention to cleanliness and presentation, this restaurant could easily become a top-notch dining destination. I look forward to seeing how the restaurant will continue to refine its offerings and will certainly consider visiting again in the future.

Beautiful restaurant with typical decor and a warm atmosphere. The restaurateurs recommended it to us for our children, for whom it was their first Indian meal. They loved it. Adapted and Indian children's menu (no nuggets or anything else, it's great!) Perfect for gluten and lactose free. I found what I was looking for and was able to enjoy it like everyone else. Home cooking is delicious! Voiron is lucky to have you!

Had a wonderful meal at Rajpoute, I’ve been coming here for several years now mainly for takeout but having dined in tonight I got to experience the warm and friendly atmosphere as well as the top notch customer service. They have a wide variety of delicious food with great vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options and I was very pleased with the waiting staff being so helpful and punctual. It is most definitely one of my absolute favourite restaurants in the pays de Gex and I highly recommend it!

Fantastic food and gluten free options available

Excellent and refined cuisine. One of the best Indians I've ever had. Many choices for vegetarians or those with intolerances (gluten/lactose etc.)! Original taste and flavors. Spicy but not too spicy (this obviously depends on the dishes). The terrace is pleasant on sunny days. Fast and efficient service.

He caught us passing through the city and I have celiac disease. They were super friendly and immediately showed me a variety of dishes I could eat. Everything was very good. And they prepared everything with great care, so that I wouldn't have problems with my allergies. Super recommended and appreciated.

Ate here yesterday and there was nothing to complain about. The dishes were seasoned well and tasted good. My father eats gluten free and there was enough to choose from for him. Afterwards he wasn't sick so it's safe for people with celiac. All in all had a good time!

We were 5 people, and we got to enjoy a really good dinner. The food was really good, I recommend the butter chicken, as it was incredible. There are several non-spicy dishes, so that's good. The only thing to improve would be the service: we had to wait quite a lot of time just to order the food, and the waiters could not confirm to me if the dishes had gluten or not. But besides that, everything was great!

Having come to this restaurant by chance, I, as usual, checked a few reviews, the worst first. I am surprised by the opinions of Internet users. We were pleasantly surprised by the kindness and sympathy of the owners and the young lady who welcomed us. The dishes were all plentiful and really very good. It was a first for me. I highly recommend this little restaurant. Good job to you and thank you for your little gift of gluten-free Gulab for my wife.

Tiny neat restaurant with a lovely decoration has Lots of veggie options, well-described menu with all details about Gluten, Végétarian and Dairy even spice rating and a good wine list. The ceiling is a bit low and all the tables were close to each, so it was pretty noisy. And it took us 20min to order our foods. (no one came to our table) But foods were absolutely tasty! We strongly recommand Chou-Fleur Manchurian and Kathrika Masla. Garlic Naan and Cheese Naan were great as well. Hope to have a butter naan in the futur. :)
