EASTERN RESTAURANTS (Jávea) : INDIAN RESTAURANTS < N.B. NEPALESE RESTAURANTS > Being largely ignorant of Indian cuisine we have wondered why these next three restaurants are talked about over and above all other (Indian? style) restaurants and two are listed at Trip Advisor higher than the other Indian restaurants. We can only assume it must be the Nepalese influence and the reputation of Northern Indian cuisine ! Go and try them. Restaurante BUDDHA PALACE : Arenal - opposite former Banca March & tennis club. Always a most enjoyable experience and the “bush telegraph” tells us that this is the place to go! 96 579 2894 [email protected] / Open: tlj The same family of owners (as Buddha Palace above) have opened in Jávea port Restaurante CURRY PALACE : just after Bar Clavo and the new gardens with the high wall. Take away service. A good postcinema stop ! Open: tlj. Tel: [phone] / E-mail: palacecurry@gmail. com Restaurante GURKHA PALACE : Avda. Jaime 1, No.8 in Jávea port.  Fine food with good ambience.

Restaurante EVEREST SPICE (previously Riu Rau) (Costa Nova):  Another Nepalese restaurant with charming décor; top of road up from Saladar to Costa Nova Panorama just after hairpin bend on the road towards La Guardia and Granadella (just after the closed kindergarten). Pleasant atmosphere & beautiful gardens. Good reports but slow service - although their take-away service is highly recommended). Tel : [phone] / NEW OWNERS: Restaurante KHATMANDU (formerly the TAJ MAHAL) : Over overlooking the large car park at Jávea’s Arenal beach. Was formerly recommended – we hope it’ll be so again !
