Kerala
This is where we go for reliable Indian lunch sets – great thalis that include two curries, good naan bread, some rice, a small salad etc. Dinners are à la carte. It's on the 2nd floor; look for the display of food in the glass case at street level.

Nair's
Like Japan's foremost living novelist, Murakami Haruki, Nair's was born in 1949, signalling a shift in tone in postwar Tokyo. Though curry restaurants are now a dime a dozen, this was one of the first to introduce naan and cardamom to Tokyo. Since quality midrange fare is a rare find in Ginza, this neighbourhood landmark tends to be extremely busy, though the crowds blend with the Bollywood music to create a festive atmosphere.

Nirvana New York
Upmarket Tokyo Midtown’s signature Indian eatery is shiny and sceney. Nirvana’s butter-chicken curry has fans all over town. If dinner’s a bit pricey, the lunch buffet (¥2000) is practically a steal; the half-dozen desserts alone would cost that much elsewhere. In warm weather, order a beer and preen like a pasha on the terrace overlooking the little people on Midtown Garden.

Delhi
Tropical cultures tout the numerous benefits of eating spicy foods; among them, the flushing of toxins when one begins perspiring with the endorphin rush (or pain, as the case may be). For those who like it hot, Delhi serves a fiery Kashmir curry. Patrons with milder tastes will find equally delicious options on the menu.

Yokohama Curry Museum
Japan is obsessed with curry rice, a large bowl filled with rice on one side and meat or vegetables in curry sauce on the other. The Yokohama Curry Museum offers nine styles of curry including Indian, Okinawan and, er, French. The cocktail bar here serves a 'currytini'. We dare you.

Didi
A cosy little spot in the north of town past Hyakumamben and Kyoto University, this friendly smoke-free restaurant serves passable Indian lunch and dinner sets. There are plenty of vegetarian choices on the menu, which is available in English. Didi is easy to spot from the street.

Pina Khana
This is our favourite Indian restaurant in Kita. The good-value lunch sets usually include a reasonably priced curry, nan or rice, and tandoori chicken. If you go between noon and 1pm, you’ll be fighting the salarymen and office ladies for a seat. Look for the Indian flag.

Moti
Loved by local expats, Moti maintains a loyal base of foodies who come for the set lunches and well-seasoned curries. Settle into one of the comfortable booths and watch as first one embassy staffer and then another comes and goes. Moti can fill to the rafters around noon.

Spicy Bar Lal's
This colourful Indian and Nepalese restaurant serves filling lunch specials and plain naan the size of a small African country. A range of imported beers and veg options make this a nice change, if you ever get tired of okonomiyaki.

Khazana
Come early to snag one of the coveted tables out on the deck for maximum sensory pleasure. This Indian restaurant serves a good all-you-can-eat buffet lunch and has a fair amount of vegetarian options on the menu.

Sona Rupa
We like this small Indian restaurant for its crispy nan bread, tasty curries and tranquil atmosphere. It's on the 3rd floor, with a sign on street level.

Masala
Sometimes all you need is a good, authentic curry. The Indian staff serve veggie curries and a range of enormous, piping hot naan breads. This branch of the small Shikoku-based chain is on the 5th floor of the Clement Plaza.
