( 211 548 812; Rua de São José 23; mains €10-15; noon-3pm & 7-11pm Mon-Sat) Inside one of Lis-
bon's best Indian restaurants, jovial chef Jesus Lee whips up South Indian delicacies with
a contemporary twist. Rice sack tablecloths and colourful murals by Mario Belém (note
the playful blend of Christian-Hindu imagery: ie Ganesh with crown of thorns) set the
scene for feasting on shrimp samosas, crab with coconut, and goat with 11 spices - fol-
lowed by date samosas with ginger and cardamom ice cream for dessert.
Don't miss creative cocktails like the gin à Jesus , a beautifully reimagined gin and ton-
ic with basil, rosemary, fennel seeds and pink tonic water made from Indian peppers.
Reserve ahead.
