Our story
Ātmā — “soul”, in Hindi

Bollywood posters, macramé lamps and a mural: the room at Strada Ocnei 12.

Cheese naan with burduf cheese: India meets Transylvania.

A 100% Punjabi kitchen, with recipes brought from home.
Soul opened in April 2024 on Strada Ocnei as “the first authentic Indian restaurant in Sibiu”. Khan Shahrukh, the manager and co-owner, comes from a modest family in Goa; he worked in hotels in Dubai and arrived in Sibiu in 2021. He renovated the first place with his own hands and painted its walls. His partner, Luis Serol from Portugal, helped the dream take shape.
In June 2025 Soul moved a few doors down to number 12: a bigger room, with Bollywood on the walls. The kitchen team is 100% Punjabi, and the rice and spices come from India. Hence the depth of the curries — and, because Goa never leaves your soul, a touch of coconut in the Soul Chicken.
Only two months in, Soul was the only restaurant in Sibiu with a perfect 5 on Google, at 180 reviews. In January 2026 it passed 1,000 reviews; today the average is 4.9. And from October 2026, Soul is on the road: a second restaurant opens in Oradea.
Masala dabba
Every Indian kitchen keeps a masala dabba — the round brass tin with the day's spices. Ours holds the dishes Sibiu orders most. Pick a bowl.

01 / 06 · The house signature
Chicken curry with the depth of Punjab and a touch of Goan coconut, slow-cooked with no shortcuts. The plate that defines Soul most clearly.
Wolt prices, October 2026 — prices in the restaurant may differ.
Heat, by the number
At Soul every dish is cooked to the level you ask for, on a scale from 1 (“delicate”) to 10 (“Vindaloo level”). And for the brave, the scale carries on up the Wall of Fire.
Tell your server the number when you order. First time here? Start between 2 and 4 — you can always climb on your next visit.
Levels 1–3
Delicate
Where Soul's scale begins: all of the aroma, none of the fire. Good for children and for a first curry.

Wall of Fire
20
the record on the board in the restaurant — February 2026
“All talk and no chillies? Spice levels aren't bragged about. They're beaten!”
On the wall at Soul hangs a board with the highest heat level ever finished. In January 2026 the record was 15; a month later, 20. Are you the next legend?
The room
Soft light, plants, Bollywood posters and macramé lamps. Since March 2026 the bar also pours an Exotic Cocktails menu — crushed ice, citrus, mint and dried orange.
