Osaka, Japan｜Indian Restaurant Diwali

Needed to mix up the cuisine after being in Japan for 20+ days. Decided to try this restaurant because I wanted something spicy. Unlike many restaurants there was no wait when I came (about 30 minutes after opening) the staff was very friendly. We ordered two butter chickens - one extra spicy (which was perfect for me) and one mild. Rice and two garlic naans. Overall the food was very good, flavorful, and reasonably priced. Would definitely come back here!

I don't often eat at Indian restaurants in Japan, but this place so far exceeded my expectations! The place was spotless and kind of trendy looking. The portions were large, and prices were around the same as other international restaurants in Osaka. Mostly, the food was tasty and fresh and seemed to be made with care. The saag paneer was different than the million saags I've had before - less rich and salty, and more heavy on the spices. It didn't come with rice and we weren't asked, so that was interesting. The kashmiri naan was amazing. Stuffed with coconut. I didn't expect this to be so fresh and tasty. I'd come back just for this. The curry dinner set was around 1500jpy but included an absolutely enormous plain naan, a fresh salad, rice (the only disappointing part - it was Japanese rice, not basmati), and a drink (we chose mango lassi of course). You also get a small piece of chicken tikka and some Indian pickles. For the curry we chose keema curry. Everything was delicious. Be aware that when you choose medium spicy, it's legit spicy - NOT weak "Japanese spicy."

Visiting from New York, I wanted a non-local bite in my two-week stay in Japan and I was not disappointed. The Kashmir Naan (coconut-y and sweet) was just amazing, and the lamb/mutton biryani was so flavorful. I also loved the chicken tikka masala (which I know isn’t considered a legitimate Indian dish but alas). Would recommend to all my friends and family.
