La Joie

La Joie was such a fun surprise. I had never really explored Sri Lankan small plates before and this was a perfect introduction. Everything felt vibrant and comforting at the same time. The egg hopper is an absolute must order. The combination of the crisp edges the soft center and the sweet savory mix of the seeni sambol and pol sambol inside was incredible. It is one of those dishes you immediately want to order again. The chicken lollipops were another highlight. Lightly fried perfectly seasoned and still incredibly juicy. They come with a bright tomato sauce that cuts through the richness in the best way. I also highly recommend getting one of the curries along with extra garlic roti. The chicken curry was my favorite. It had this warm deep flavor that paired perfectly with the roti and I found myself wiping the bowl clean. La Joie is a great spot if you want something flavorful cozy and a little different from the typical Paris restaurant lineup. The food is delicious the vibe is relaxed and the whole experience left me wanting to explore even more Sri Lankan cuisine. Check it out if you are in Paris and want something truly memorable.

Last minute decision to have a solo dinner here and I’m so glad I did. Thoughtful Sri Lankan dishes done with subtle creativity. Everything was delicious and well cooked from the perfect egg hopper to the tasty chicken curry and turmeric ice cream (don’t skip dessert!) loved it and would 10/10 return.

My all time favorite place to heal with food that always makes me smile and feel great 😌 The hoppers, beer and naturals wines for the win. I love that they change their menu so often that keeps me discovering such a delicious, curated and different dish all the time !

Nice atmosphere, good flavors but the portions are way too small for the price and they should atleast serve rice with dal if you’re charging 12€ for it. Those tiny sticks done count for murukku, please add more. Other than that, it’s a nice ambiance and the waiters are nice.

First time in France a restaurant that takes Sri Lankan cuisine to the next level. The food is well prepared in keep touching with the French culinary art. The menu is wonderfully presented without any changes of original names of Sri Lankan dishes. Very satisfied with the way it is presented and there is no shortage of Sri Lankan flavors. we are really enjoyed. Thank you very much, congratulations chef and keep it up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved the food and the service here! A special mention to the chef, who was incredibly thoughtful and personally went through the menu with me, marking everything I could eat while keeping in mind my seafood allergy. That kind of care is rare and so appreciated. The food itself was outstanding. Every dish had its own unique flavour and was cooked to perfection. The wada came with the freshest coconut chutney, the mutton cutlets were melt-in-the-mouth, and the pork in black curry was one of the best pork dishes I’ve had. The chicken sausage in chilli sauce, egg hoppers in curry, and tuna roll were all delicious in their own right. To finish, the pandan ice cream with banana cake was the perfect dessert , it was light, flavourful, and memorable. Not a single dish disappointed us. This place is an absolute must-visit when you’re in Paris and craving authentic Indian/Sri Lankan flavours.

Fabulous restaurant with really delicious food, quick service and the nicest people working there. The menu changes everyday I believe so you'll discover something new. The server kindly pointed out things on the menu that were vegan. Would highly recommend it!

Super good food also the service..! Chef Minod and the team make great job and appreciation of the service from Mira..!
