Decent Indian Food With Quite a Few Options

After a long day out and about we came here for dinner, partially as it was close to our hotel.

The online menu doesn't match up to the restaurant menu, the vegan labelling isn't fully clear online but it is in the restaurant. Everything is very clearly marked as vegan and they also suggest letting them know you're ordering vegan too.

My partner and I both had 2 samosa for a starter. They were a good size, well filled and nice and crispy. They were a bit under seasoned for my liking but overall they were okay.

For mains I got the aubergine and potato curry (4 on the spicy scale). The vegetables were well cooked and the sauce was a good texture. The chilli level was about what I was hoping for but overall the dish felt like it lacked a bit of flavour. My partner got a spinach and potato curry (3 on the spicy scale) and also felt it was a bit lacking in flavour and seasoning.

We both got aloo parathas with our mains and really enjoyed those. There was plenty of filling and they were well cooked so they weren't really chewy like some Indian breads get.

I like the range of options for vegans, especially the breads as I often feel vegans just get stuck with a plain roti. Overall, the flavours just weren't quite bold enough for me.

It took a long time to get served but we were just unlucky as a lot of people arrived at about the same time and we were last in that queue. Be aware that you might have a bit of a wait if it's busy.

Delicious curry!

We went here during our trip and were so happy with our meal! We went on a weekday night in the evening and only had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. The staff were friendly. The menu has vegan and vegetarian food clearly marked and you can also check this on the website. There are sides that are vegan and a vegan meal set available. I ordered a spinach paneer curry, a small nan and a small rice. I was asked by the person taking my order if I was a vegan/vegetarian, which gave me peace of mind. It all tasted really good and the small nan was actually a lot bigger than I expected. It cost me ¥2170 for that and an alcoholic drink. Definitely go by here and give it a try, great quality food for a good price!

Great curries

Vegan options are clearly labeled, and the staff even made sure by asking me if I was vegan. The place was bustling, but they were still very accommodating. The food was delicious, the portions were good, and it was relatively cheap. I had a really good spinach and potato curry with jeera rice and potato parathas.

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Good atmosphere

Great restaurant near Susukino Station, Sapporo

Very kind staff with good Indian food. As a vegetarian, I was also delighted that the staff actually understood the difference between vegetarian and vegan and proactively made sure your order complied with your dietary wishes. (Also clearly stated on the menu which dishes are vegetarian/vegan)

Very tasty food

Both my omni partner and I enjoyed our meals, just unfortunate that the sets were already sold out when we visited.
I had the lentil dal, which was amazing and so was the papad 😊 staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

Best vegetarian and vegan Indian restaurant in Sapporo

昔から通っているインドカレー屋さん。ヴィーガンメニューも用意されていて、種類もたくさんあり、どれもおいしいです!オーナーさんやスタッフさんも気さくで、いつもポジティブなエネルギーをもらっています。占星術もすごく当たるのでおすすめです。
ランチも復活して欲しいです(^^)

Pros: Samosa, Veg set, Shahi pannet

Great food and staff but pricey

Food was what every good indian restaurant can serve and the staff was really accommodating. However, it came to quite a bit more than the usual japanese restaurant in the end. Nothing outrageous but noticeably more expensive 🫰

Pros: Chan masala, Vegan "osusume" bread , Great staff

Cons: Pricey

Mixed Vegetable Curry

From the start the staff were very welcome and accommodating. They do have meat options, however, the menu is well labeled and the staff were well versed in what “vegan” means. I ordered the mixed vegetable curry which was delicious and piping hot.

Because of other reviews I had high expectations. The food was good but didn’t live up to it, I’ve definitely had better Indian food before. Amazing service though and nice seating.

Great Indian food

Popular with vegans I head two customers getting very clear options of what is or could be cooked vegan. English menu. Lots of vegetarian choice. I ordered a set veg meal pictured which had veg curry, Dahl, nahn, salad, samosa, desert and soft drink. Good value. Good service. Very tasty food you can specify spice level as well. Highly recommended.

Pros: Authentic Indian food, Dahl, Service and value

Great Indian food with loads of vegetarian and vegan options

This was tucked away on the 7th floor behind a fairly innocuous entrance in central Sapporo. The atmosphere was really nice, but fairly quiet on a Wednesday evening.

The selection of curries was great and we went for the Shahi paneer and the eggplant and potato one. We'd recommend both, especially eggplant and potato which had an amazing sauce.

There were loads of vegan breads too, and the waiter warned us that the plain naan was made with egg, which was useful to know.

We also had a free dessert which tasted like a mango lassi and was delicious.

We'd definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in need of a curry fix.

Pros: Wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, Lots of different vegan breads

Had been on my list places to visit for a while and I finally visited it. Was definitely worth it! Options were clearly labelled and lots of spice levels so it you’re craving some spice in the spice wasteland that is japan, even more worth going!

Tasty Tasty Tasty! (And lots of vegan options!)

I visited Sapporo recently and was very fortunate to have found this restaurant! I was more than pleased with everything they had to offer. Amazing dishes, very nice staff and a good amount of Vegan options.
Wonderful curry dishes! I particularly enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian (although not a curry ) and it trumped the other Manchurian dishes I've had at other places!
I also loved how I was able to choose my spice level for the curry dishes (I like it hot!) and the heat was just perfect!
It can be a bit tricky to find Vegan options in Japan, so this place was a Godsend!
I will definitely be back I (maybe to try the "Special Hot" spice choice next time, lol).
Definitely give a visit if you're in Sapporo! You won't be disappointed!
I'd give 5 stars, but apparently it needs to be full veg. for that. Either way, 5 stars in my book! Great Job!

Pros: Wonderful food!, Great atmosphere!, Very nice staff!

Cons: ?, ?, ?
