Le Kolam, Indian restaurant in Servon, France.
Le Kolam is an Indian restaurant in Servon, a small town southeast of Paris in the Seine-et-Marne department. The kitchen draws on cooking traditions from several regions of India, offering tandoori dishes, curries, and naan bread made fresh on site.
The restaurant was set up to bring Indian regional cooking to an area that had very few such options at the time. It was among the first Indian eateries to establish itself in Servon, adding something new to the local food scene.
The name "Kolam" comes from a traditional South Indian art form where intricate patterns are drawn on the ground, often at the entrance of homes as a welcoming gesture. Seeing this name above the door gives a hint of the warmth and hospitality you can expect inside.
The restaurant is on Chemin du Marquis in Servon and opens in the evening. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially on weekends or when dining with a group.
Despite Servon being a very small town, the restaurant has gathered a large number of customer reviews over the years, suggesting that many diners travel from surrounding areas to eat there. This kind of following is unusual for a locality of this size.
