Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Sapana Kagurazaka

You can get delicious Vegan curries here! I often come here for Vegan curries! The staff are very friendly and will make sure theres no animal products if you check with them. They said they will also customise upon request no problem. Chana masala and Avocado curries are my favourite. Staff very friendly. 🙂👌

§Accepts credit card payment Since I live on the slopes (on a slope) that is close to Tokyo's Mitoro Kanzako, if I want to eat out and walk downhill along the main road, I will often go in when I see a restaurant that suits my appetite, and I will be full before I reach Iidabashi and turn back. In the Kamiruzaka-Iidabashi area, I have eaten at three Indian/Thai restaurants before (especially, the ones I have eaten in this area so far are all Indian and Thai restaurants): Along the main road, the first one is opposite Exit 3 of Ushigome-Kamūzaka. It is located at the main intersection between the three stations of Ushigome-Kamūzaka-Iidabashi. Turn right here and pass two subway exits and a bakery along the road. The other one is next to the Ushigome Kamakuzaka Exit 1 - this shop offers an all-you-can-eat buffet during lunch time, and there are two rows of chairs at the entrance; you can pass by it from time to time at noon. , the two rows of waiting seats are really not just for show. If you don't turn, continue walking along the main road towards Iidabashi Station, and you will encounter another one. This restaurant also offers an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, but I don’t know if it’s because it’s located in an inconspicuous basement. Although there are a lot of people, there’s not as much queue as the previous restaurant. You will see sapana just as you walk to Iidabashi Station. However, if you don't pay attention to the sign posted on the roadside, Sapana is located on the second floor and is not easy to spot. I passed by it several times and finally noticed it, but because the food in the photos didn't look as good as the first three restaurants, I never made a special trip here to eat. I don’t have that big of an appetite tonight, but I want something warm and nutritious. Walking along the main road towards Iidabashi, while hesitating and considering, I deleted the high-end bars/izakayas/European dishes that exceeded my budget, but I also didn’t want to eat a chain store with generally inferior ingredients. Finally walked to sapana. Between conveyor belt sushi that I wanted to eat but was cold and cold, I chose sapana considering my physical needs. I hesitated for a while when I walked up to the door on the second floor because dinner was a bit more expensive than the signature lunch on the roadside. Finally walked into the store. It doesn't matter if you don't come in. Once you come in, your appetite will be full. In addition to the standard Tom Yum Gong, Thai green curry, and various Indian curries, there are also fried soft shell crabs, crispy Nanyang tamagoyaki, and soupy Nepalese dumplings... I only regret that I only have one stomach and cannot eat them all. After considering my budget and appetite, I ordered cheese naan, keema curry, and paneer masala curry, which is rare in Japan and has been missed for a long time. The appetizer salad comes with two special sauces, but it's not special. In about ten minutes, the main meal arrived. The clerk paid for a bottle of honey and told me to eat it with naan. I've never tasted it like this, but it doesn't hurt to try. Try it and be amazed. The honey, which is less greasy than sugar, cuts through the rich cheese and interweaves with the frankincense of the naan itself, evoking the biblical image of "flowing with milk and honey." The cheese brings out the flavor, and the milk and honey add to the taste. Looking at other Japanese reviews, cheese naan is also highly recommended, and it really lives up to its reputation. Paneer Masala also evokes a sense of nostalgia. The tomatoes are slightly sour, making the milk fragrant and not greasy. Keema is full of spices, rich and sweet, not as bland as the common Japanese ones. The surprise of three main meals makes people eager to try it, but their stomach won't allow it. To balance appetite and health, I ordered mango yogurt. After getting used to Japanese sizes, it was a surprise to see Taiwanese fruit juice-sized cups. Smooth and smooth, filling but not filling. Although I see foreign faces every day in Kanzaki, I never see them while eating (I eat more like ordinary people). This time I finally feel that the restaurant is more in line with the demography of Kamigurazaka, with foreign languages ​​rising and falling. Will stay again. Right and wrong.

Delicious flavor. Decent price. Variety of options, most meals had a drink included, the chai tea was very good.
