Curry meets the Atlantic: Indian cuisine in Playa Blanca
The restaurants usually don’t open until around 6 pm, catering to holidaymakers‘ evening plans. A set menu including drinks costs between 15 and 25 euros per guest. At lunchtime, the choice is limited, as many restaurants only serve food in the evenings. Around Christmas and Easter, tables along the harbour promenade are snapped up quickly. Mumbai Masala Marina Rubicon is situated on Calle el Berrugo, right by the harbour basin, from where the ferries to Fuerteventura set sail. A seat with a sea view is more common here on the waterfront than anywhere else on Lanzarote.
Tips for your visit
Curry dishes and tandoori specialities from the clay oven feature on the menus of the six Indian restaurants, which form part of a scene comprising 82 restaurants. Fresh fish from the harbour ends up in some of these restaurants as a spiced fish curry. Indian Delights at Avenida de Papagayo 15 has 753 reviews, putting it ahead of Curry House on Avenida de las Canarias.
Scattered amongst the town’s 34 bars are a handful of Indian eateries, whose terraces overlook the coast of Fuerteventura in the evenings. Naan from the tandoor and lentil dishes dominate the selection in the town centre. The 13 cafés in the former fishing village cater for the daytime, whilst the Indian restaurants cater for the evening, meaning the two rarely get in each other’s way.
