Purunima Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Beppu

There aren’t a lot of Indian restaurants in Oita. The employees speak several languages and there’s a lot of food items on the menu. They also have up to 8 levels of spice.

Cons: They seated me in an area where someone was smoking. It’s a large place, so it’d be easy to separate smokers and none smokers. Also, they seat all people in the same section. I came in alone, so I didn’t care to hear the loud guests next to me.

Pros: Very nice staff. Prices are fair. You can smell the curry from outside, which is a great sign. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the curry recipe was original—with Japanese pumpkin and chicken. The food also came out fast. My server kept a close eye to see if I needed anything. Definitely recommend. Ask if there’s a non-smoking section if you...

Not a lot of Indian restaurants in Oita, so this is one of the places I go to when I can afford it. The food is a little expensive, but it’s good. You can select the spice level you want, which is nice. They also have a grocery store, which not many people know about. You can buy South Asian groceries and halal meat here for a good price. I like their curry and okawari naan sets, so you can order as much naan as you want. I love their halal lamb chop masala curry and cheese naan. The basil naan is good too! The place is run by Nepali people, as most Indian restaurants...

One of the best meals I think I've ever eaten. Definitely the best Indian food I've ever had. Everything was wonderful, the spices were perfectly balanced and the flavors perfect. The naan is delicious as is, no need to order extra toppings, though the garlic naan was also tasty. We enjoyed a weekend visit to Beppu and Purinuma was absolutely the highlight....
