Paris is a lousy place to grab a sandwich. Yes, it has gourmet restaurants like other towns have laundromats. Yes, you can still get a three-course lunch in a smoke-filled café for less than €10. But if you're someone who associates three-course lunches with three-hour afternoon naps, the available options are uninspiring.

But Bukhara was the first restaurant to take an Indian specialty item?foods cooked in a tandoor oven?and transform it into gourmet cuisine. The restaurant's look is pure Flintstones: walls of boulders, solid-wood tables and menus printed on laminated sections of tree. There's no cutlery either: you rip at great hunks of meat and swab it up with nan the size of a trash can lid. But don't let this modish coarseness...
