Summer, the Seeklo Way
Every season has its own energy—and at Seeklo, the summer vibe is relaxed, curious, and quietly decadent. This year’s menu continues our commitment to being the best Indian restaurant in Paris, but with a refreshing pivot. There’s a new focus on lighter flavors, coastal ingredients, and playful presentation. Think less butter, more tang; less heat, more lift.
This is the season of discovering the unexpected: Indian flavors made for the Parisian terrace, shared over spritzes and laughter.
A New Lightness in Starters
The starters this summer are built to awaken rather than overwhelm. The new Charred Sweet Potato with Edamame Pâté is creamy, smoky, and perfectly brightened with lime zest. A returning favorite, Smoked Beetroot with Hazelnuts, now features a crisp herb salad to add freshness and height.
And perhaps the most exciting addition? The Grilled Aubergine with Pomegranate Molasses—a dish that fuses Levantine notes with Kashmiri spice, served chilled and designed to pair with white wine or the new Himalayan cocktails.
Mains That Sizzle Without the Weight
On hot summer nights, heavy curries don’t always appeal. That’s why the kitchen has introduced dishes that lean into Seeklo’s grill bar identity. The Seared Normandy Scallops in Moilee Sauce, a dish first tested in spring, returns with curd rice and a coconut curry leaf emulsion that feels like a breeze across the Malabar coast.
There’s also a new Paneer Tikka variation with a yogurt-pickle marinade and tangy salsa that feels more like a tandoori ceviche than a traditional entrée. And the Lamb Chops with Vindaloo Ketchup? They now come with a side of fennel-apple slaw to balance the richness.
It’s all the punch of Indian cooking with none of the post-meal heaviness.
Limited Edition Summer Cocktails
What’s summer without a drink in hand? The bar team has released four new cocktails for the season, each inspired by Indian botanicals and designed to beat the heat.
- Monsoon Spritz: Tamarind, orange blossom, sparkling wine, and mint. Perfect for the terrace.
- Lassi Colada: Mango lassi meets piña colada with yogurt-washed rum and coconut foam.
- Summer Masala Gimlet: Gin, lime acid, and a spice tincture that tingles without burning.
- Peach & Vetiver Smash: Whiskey, vetiver syrup, peach nectar, and a hint of black salt.
Each one is refreshing, aromatic, and unmistakably Seeklo. It’s why we’re not just known for food—we’re recognized as the best Indian bar in Paris, too.
Parisian Inspiration, Indian Imagination
Summer at Seeklo is about bridging the rhythm of Paris with the warmth of Indian hospitality. That means incorporating seasonal French produce—like local heirloom tomatoes, Normandy shellfish, and market peaches—into recipes that carry an Indian soul.
Even the music changes subtly this season, leaning into global soul and acoustic textures to match the relaxed elegance of the dishes.
Why Summer at Seeklo Is Unmissable
Seasonal menus are more than just new dishes—they’re invitations. At Seeklo, summer is an open door to light, laughter, and the kind of food that makes you want to stay longer than planned.
This is the time to fall in love with a new favorite dish or discover a cocktail that surprises you. It’s why regulars call it the best Indian food in Paris—because it keeps evolving while staying true to its roots.
So, if you’re in Paris this summer, make your way to Oberkampf. The doors are open, the music’s on, and the taste of the season is waiting at Seeklo.
