Good alternative when the vegan restaurants are closed

A nice place with friendly staff. They have several vegan options including the lunch Thali (but be sure to substitute the raita for salad to make it vegan). I also got the carrot lape, which had a nice flavor to it.
They also have three dosas that are vegan: I got the mysore dosa and like it just fine.

Pros: Vegan options, Convenient to Nagoya Train Station

Cons: Not all vegan

Amazing thali

Really enjoyed everything on the thali, clearly labelled as vegan too.

Decent enough

I had the vegetarian meal/miles (the one with the many small bowls on a round tray from other review photos). It was fine, but nothing special. Another time, I would probably try the vegetable thali or just a curry or biryani. The place is definitely not something to make a trip for, but a good option if you're in the area and just need something decent to eat. There was no queue and service was fast.

Great indian restaurant with clearly marked vegetarian and vegan options

We really enjoyed the food. As typical for india, it was a bit spicy. Altogether a great experience.

Nice Indian chain

They have multiple locations in Japan. Quality is always reliable and tasty for a decent price.

Tasty curry and quick service

- Great tasting and authentic curry. The night I was there, there were multiple large Indian families eating there too which is always a good sign that it's the real deal.
- The set came out fast and was open late (11pm) the staff kindly advised everyone of any last orders at 10pm.
- Even though the curry bowls look really small, by the time you've finished the set you're definitely satisfied.

Pros: Tasty, Open late

Cons: Rice portion is small (ask for more), Vegan option costs more than vegetarian

Safe vegan dinner option

We've been disappointed at the lack of vegan dinner possibilities in Nagoya. This place is a great steady option. The vegan plate is listed on the menu as "vegan" so you don't have to worry about misunderstandings. (You usually can't count on this in other Indian restaurants.)

Pros: Vegan option listed on menu, Tasty enough, Free extra servings of rice and サンバル and ラッサム

Cons: Serves meat, Fastfood restaurant atmosphere, You can't make a reservation for the same day

Good Masala Dosa

The curry here is OK, although not especially spicy. I really like the Masala Dosa (available only at dinnertime). Also, it's nice to have a South Indian food option near Nagoya station.

Pros: Good location

Hmm...

Some fried stuff was way too oily not eatable.
Japanese owner...
Curry taste was not good.
I love Indian food but I don’t think he can cook real Indian food.
Good amount of vegan options.

Pros: Vegan friendly.

For all of the travelers coming through Nagoya Station

Don't waste your time here. We live 5 minutes from here, and we have eaten here once. Although the food is good, it' not memorable. If you're at Nagoya Station, try Soranoiro at Midland Square or Coco Ichibanya in the Sun Road mall. I appreciate that Erick Curry has vegetarian options, but they just aren't that tasty.

Pros: Vegetarian options, Good quantity of food

Cons: Not cheap, Bland

Good place for Indian food

I had a dish which is mentioned as vegetarian on the menu but can easily be made vegan. I got a selection of curries, vegetables and salads with rice and a papadum for 1450 yen. They served the food very quickly and it tasted very good.

Convenient

Nagoya has a problem for vegans. Many restaurants are only open for lunch and/or require prior reservation. The places that are left for dinner, are often the restaurants that also serve meat. Erick Curry is one of them. It's easy to find and conveniently located near Nagoya station. I looks decent enough, but it isn't the place to spend an evening. One visits Erick Curry for a quick bite and then continues the evening.

The menu has green dots marking vegetarian options. The waiter didn't understand the word "vegan", but quickly a second waiter came to the rescue and he did understand the difference between "vegetarian" and "vegan". Apparently some vegetarian dishes can be made vegan, so I simply ordered "whatever is big and vegan". This means a plate of curry and rice, regrettably none of the signature South Indian (dosa) dishes are vegan.

My plate of curries and rice was of average quality. It contained for 4 types of curry, a tiny salad, a few vegetables and some coconut milk (instead of yogurt). Rice will be replenished for free. Considering the price of 1500 yen, this is not a bad deal.

Pros: easy to find, fair price, fair quality food

Cons: also serves meat

Nice curry

A pretty nice restaurant in the basement of a building attatched to Nagoya station. There were a couple of vegetable curries that they said were dairy-free, so probably vegan. Tasted really good!

Good convenient veggie-friendly option

We were changing trains in Nagoya at lunch time and ate here. Vegetarian options are clearly marked on the menu, which is in both Japanese and English, and our food was ready quickly. It was tasty and I'd go again.

Good experience!

I was excited to discover what seems to be a fairly authentic South Indian food restaurant in Nagoya! The food was good and not too pricey. Atmosphere is okay for a shopping center restaurant area. The set I ordered had several dishes that were spicier than a lot of food I've found in Japan. Overall it was a good experience and I plan to go again!
