Indian restaurants in Tokyo

  1. A

    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.

    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.

    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.
