Tandoori Chicken Legs (two pieces) MetroBites visit photo

Tandoori Chicken Legs (two pieces)

Spice-marinated chicken legs are charcoal-grilled for lightly charred, fragrant skin while staying tender and juicy inside. Taste the chicken first, then add the crisp spicy vegetables and a little lemon juice so the acidity cuts through the bold spices for a different finish.

Potato Cheese Balls in Cashew Sauce MetroBites visit photo

Potato Cheese Balls in Cashew Sauce

Soft potato balls sit in thick cashew sauce, with a smooth, yielding texture, gentle sweetness, and creamy aroma with very little heat. Ideal for diners new to spice-forward food who prefer mild flavors; scoop up the sauce with flatbread or use it as a mellow pause between hotter dishes.

Charcoal-Grilled Chicken Curry with Onion and Bell Pepper

The chicken first gains a smoky char, then melds with onion and bell pepper in a substantial curry. Tender meat, vegetable sweetness, and garlic unfold in layers. The sauce has a baseline heat and smoky finish, perfect with flatbread or turmeric rice to catch every drop.

FIRST VISIT

✨ AI Food Scout's Quick Take

巴雷巴雷印度餐廳 · Balle Balle Indian Restaurant gathers the spices, charcoal grilling, and layered curries of North Indian cooking around one table. From charred Tandoori Chicken Legs to mellow Potato Cheese Balls in Cashew Sauce, rich Charcoal-Grilled Chicken Curry with Onion and Bell Pepper, and tandoori chicken coated in creamy white sauce, the flavors range from hot to sweet, with gentle choices for newcomers to Indian food. Sharing with a group makes the changing combinations of spices and staples especially clear.

Setting and atmosphere:The long, narrow restaurant has plenty of ground-floor seating plus a dining area in the basement. Wooden furniture, colorful hangings, and Indian music create an unmistakably international mood, with spice aromas greeting guests at the door. Clean and comfortable, it suits families and groups of friends. Most of the service team is Indian; the owner offers friendly explanations in Chinese, while some staff mainly use English, so menu photos help confirm orders.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市松山區光復北路十二號一樓, between 台北小巨蛋站 · Taipei Arena and 南京三民站 · Nanjing Sanmin. Allow walking time from either station or take a bus if you prefer a shorter walk. Popular group-dining periods can fill up, so booking ahead is reassuring. Many recommended dishes have photos, and sharing sets are available. If you are unsure about spices or heat, state your preferences and ask the staff to pair curries, grilled dishes, and staples.
● Tandoori Chicken Legs (two pieces)

The spice-marinated Tandoori Chicken Legs are charcoal-grilled until lightly charred and smoky outside while remaining juicy and tender within. Crisp spicy vegetables at the side offer a refreshing turn between bold spices; a squeeze of lemon brightens the chicken further. For grill lovers, this is a direct taste of tandoor heat meeting Indian seasoning.

● Potato Cheese Balls in Cashew Sauce

Soft potato balls are submerged in thick cashew sauce, yielding a smooth, delicate texture with sweetness and dairy richness but almost no sharp heat. Once the balls absorb the sauce, every bite becomes even softer and rounder. Scoop it up with flatbread or use it as a gentle palate break between spicy curries.

● Charcoal-Grilled Chicken Curry with Onion and Bell Pepper

The chicken is first given a smoky char, then combined with onion, bell pepper, and rich curry. Tender meat meets the vegetables' natural sweetness, with garlic, baseline heat, and smoke layered through the sauce. Pair it with flatbread or turmeric rice so the staple carries the substantial sauce and extends the spice-filled finish.

● Tender Tandoori Chicken in White Sauce

Tender tandoori chicken is coated in a rich white sauce with the silky dairy notes of cheese and milk. The pieces stay tender after absorbing the sauce, yet their charcoal aroma still emerges through the creaminess; some skin remains lightly crisp and charred, keeping the dish from feeling uniformly smooth. Its rounded richness is ideal beside a hot curry for a creamy-spicy contrast.

Uncle's words of wisdom: curry brings the richness, charcoal brings the aroma, and flatbread picks up the very last bite from the plate.
