Indian Restaurants in Fuerteventura

If you’re on Fuerteventura and suddenly hankering for a proper Indian meal, you’re in luck. While this island isn't overflowing with Indian spots, the few places here serve up some seriously satisfying dishes. Head to Corralejo, where a handful of small, family-run restaurants offer honest-to-goodness curries and freshly baked naan. It’s not fancy dining, but the flavors remind me a lot of my trips to the mainland.

I remember sitting in a little place near the center, watching locals chatting over plates of butter chicken and lamb vindaloo, locals and tourists alike digging in with smiles. One tip,try the samosas as a starter, they tend to be fresher and sharper in spices than the usual frozen stuff you get elsewhere. Also, ask if they have any seasonal specials; sometimes the chef gets creative with local ingredients.

If you’re staying near Caleta de Fuste or Puerto del Rosario, keep an eye out for small Indian takeaways that can save you on a night when you just want to chill. A word to the wise though,spice levels here might be a bit toned down compared to what you’re used to, but if you ask, they'll happily crank it up. Indian food might not be the first thing you think to find on Fuerteventura, but it’s there, tasty enough to give your taste buds a break from seafood and tapas for a night.
