Are there any Indian or Pakistani restaurant.

Hi
There is one Indian restaurant is Benguela but it's not worth going so I prefer Lebanese foods.
Being a Pakistani I am also very desperate to eat Pakistani foods.

There are 2 Indian Restaurants that I know of, upto July, 2012. If there is any change since then, I am not aware.

Palm Beach
Ilha de Luanda

Hi,

Its very dificult to find Indian restaurants in Luanda since demand is low , however most restaurants can add nice ingredients for you. 

Portuguese food is very  nice and full of flavours/herbs such as: Garlic, pipiri, caril, black/white Pepper, mint, salsa, cominho etc.

I would recomend Indian/Portuguese similar foods such as:
Caril (Just ask chef to add extra pipiri),
Galinha Assada/brasa com picante  (grill chicken - mild/hot),
Cod Fish - griled or boiled  ( Bacalhao a Brás).
very similar to Indian Food.
Galinha ao forno com arroz ( rosted chicken with Rice or vegies )
Garopinha ( Silver Rock Fish .....no sure)
Posta de Cherne (Giant rock Fish)


Most restaurants in Marginal and Ilha are nice:

If you like nice deserts maybe tray:

. Pudim de leite (milk pudim)
. Mouse de maracujá ( soft granadilha mouse)
. Bolo de laranja ( Orange Cake)
. Arroz doce com canela  (Sweet Rice flavoured with cinnamom)

Thanks

Hello everyone,

Perhaps you could all recommend these venues in the Restaurants in Luanda section of the business directory. Others might find it helpful to have some good places to eat in Luanda.

Many thanks
