Pandzsab Tandoori

Have now been to several Indian restaurants in Budapest and my favourite is Pandzsab. It's not much to look at but when you ask for your curry spicy, they actually make it spicy! Favourite dishes there include the samosas and the kadhi paneer, and they do a mean chili naan. The drinks are priced reasonably so we paid only 7500 Ft for a vegetarian meal for two.

Out of the others, Indigo runs a close second, a classier option with almost as good curry. Maharaja, Kohinoor and Taj Mahal are all very good, though not always that spicy. Shalimar was ok, and most recently Kashmir was a bit disappointing considering some of the reviews I'd read/heard. The curry was very mild, not especially tasty, and one of them slightly watery, and the drinks list was limited and expensive in terms of wine and beer.

Overall, go with Pandzsab (deserves a bigger write up above!) or Indigo!
