Indian Jewel
It’s a nice Indian restaurant situated in the heart of Prague’s Old Town, with marble floors, chunky wooden chairs, copper tableware and restrained oriental décor.

These dishes will not only seduce you with their aroma but will entangle your tongue in a never before experienced passion. Mains are from 230 to 300 CZK.

Masala
This chain of Indian restaurants offers cheap, good food and none of the stultifying atmosphere and stiff service you normally find at Indian places in Prague.

Just one comment: the food could use more spice, but they probably aim at locals who are not used to too much spice in their meals. Mains cost from 150 to 300 CZK, and degustation set menus for two are from 1100 to 1800 CZK. Currently, they have two locations in Vinohrady – one in Pod Karlovem 12/1574, and the other at Mánesova 13. There is also one location at Průhonice, Tulipánová 142.
