Tasty food, friendly staff - Edit
I went on a quiet mid-week night, looking for a lightish meal. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and the menu has a good range of vegan options clearly labelled. I had dal palak and saffron rice (they made the rice without paneer to make it vegan for me). Satisfying, tasty food in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.

Authentic Indian Restaurant - Edit
Many vegan and vegetarian options clearly marked in the menu.
Read moreI had two curries, as well as vegan samosa as a starter and mango sherbet for dessert, which were both recommended to me by the staff.
Everything was delicious, especially I liked the samosa's flavorful filling and the tamarind sauce that came with it.
The restaurant was established quite a few years ago.
We talked to the owner before, who is proud of the original Indian taste.
All in all I can recommend coming here when in the area.
It's a quiet place with retro style interior (many posters of old Bollywood movies), where you can take a rest from busy Ikebukuro streets.

Great value, great food! - Edit
I went during a quiet time, staff were very attentive and friendly. Lunch time menu is super good value for money. Get a window seat if you can, so that you can people watch whilst you eat :)

Delicious! - Edit
We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. Went with my non-veggie dad and it was a great option for both of us. There are approximately 6 vegetarian curry main dishes and approximately 6 vegan curries. There are the usual other non veggie Indian options. Amazing naan bread! We had 2 curries, 1 portion of rice and 1 portion of naan between us and were stuffed. The naan is enormous. Staff were friendly. I didn’t have to quiz them about the vegan options as the menu was clearly labelled. Although one of the supposedly vegan options did mention that it contained ghee so I just avoided that one.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Satisfying portions , Tasty food

Okay - Edit
A little more expensive than I thought... The staff was very friendly however the first one I talked to didn’t understand vegan. (I asked if they had a vegan naan, and he suggested the cheese naan). Also for dessert I waked if there was milk in the ice creams and he said no. Luckily his supervisor came and clarified there was only one vegan dessert, which was quite good.
Read morePros: Vegan dishes are marked (only the curry)
Cons: Small portions, Only the curry is marked af vegan

Wish I could give it 5 stars! - Edit
Finding a fluent English speaker in Japan was an absolute blessing after days of none, the food was great and there was heaps of options- they also knew what vegan actually was which was 10/10 and so comforting.
Read morePros: food, english speaking
Cons: no vegan desserts, little bit overpriced
