PapaWalla

PapaWalla is a fairly new Indian place in downtown Mexico, near other popular bars and restaurants. It's cozy inside with high ceilings and beautiful brick walls. The food is reasonably priced and the staff are amazing. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet but I will. So far everything has been great, except for the Samosas, which are exceptional. You can order 3 potato somosas for 5 bucks and they alone fill me up...but two orders (total 6) maybe for bigger folks. There is also an 8 for five dollar option. Their main delicious comes with beautiful Indian style rice and you get wonderful proportions. Mexico, Mo., is lucky to have this place to add to an already great variety of food for a town with such a small population. Highly recommended. My only negative is I wish they had a liquor license because this would be an awesome place to have a pint...or even a nice cup of joe.

This place is permanently CLOSED!! No food, no service, nor ambiance. This is the third time I see it closed for business

Love the atmosphere, bright warm colors, comfy booths, and a very open and pleasant arrangement. The second floor is promising, hopefully it'll be open for dining soon, sitting up there would be awesome.We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Spicy Chicken, garlic Naan, and Potato Samosas. It was all top notch, with wonderfully blended spices and an excellent chutney. The chef is obviously as passionate about the food as he is skilled.As a bonus: I left my phone at the restaurant. Not only did they pick it up when we called, they held it and stayed AFTER CLOSING to let me come back and grab it.Great service, great staff, great chef, great restaurant. Will DEFINITELY be adding this place to my regular rotation.
