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.

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.

Driving through town on a road trip and decided to stop in. So glad we did. Wonderful food. Loved the Chicken Masala and Garlic Naan! Just the right spice level and full of flavor.

Stopped in for biryani. Definitely not high on spice, but well made and good portions. The atta bread was fantastic, though, flaky and buttery. And the extra spicy egg wraps were superb. I got one as a why not, but enjoyed it the most of all my meal. Just make sure to ask for extra spicy! The owner obviously cares about what he does; the food should only become better as the restaurant matures. My request to him is that he offer a regular and extra spicy on all dishes, to satisfy both the midwestern palates and the more adventurous.

Everything we ordered was great. Had the butter chicken with cheese Naan, so good. Got the sampler (thalia I think it was) and it was phenomenal. Will be making a trip back.

Great gluten free options. Delicious food. American option of pulled pork was good as well. Nice to have something different and good.

PapaWalla seems to be improving compared to when they first opened, but at a snail’s pace. I do like the extra spicy egg wraps, spicy Dal soup, spicy chicken, butter chicken, & the naan. They really need to make that chicken saag / SaagaWalla more flavorful and not cook it until it turns gray and just stop being afraid of making food “too spicy”. The fact that this restaurant is in Mexico, MO shouldn’t be used as an excuse for blandness.

Great food (especially the dal) and friendly service. It’s a mom and son pair running shop, and they seem really passionate.
