Shanti — Restaurant in Fukuoka

Hi all, I am going to share my story and then advise why I recommend this Indian restaurant. I had been living in Fukuoka for last three years with my wife and kid and don't really require to have Indian food in a reasturant as my wife and me sometimes cooking Indian food at home ( being an Indian). For last 4 months my wife and my kids moved back to Australia( my residence country ) and I wasn't getting authentic Indian food from any reasturant. Although they are many Indian reasturants in Fukuoka, the speciality of Shanti reasturant is, the food is as good as home cooked Indian food. ♤You got Curry in this reasturant, which is not thicky thick unlike other reasturants, its lite which is good to the stomach and taste delicious. ♤Spicies upto that level where it gives aromatic taste but not at that high level which unrest your tongue and tummy. You might have choice to choose high spice level, that's up to you. ♤By special request to Chef, I asked him to make Roti( same as Naan bread but its made with wholemeal flour)for me, a normal staple north Indian food. Note:- Naan is not a staple diet in India, it's Roti. With all three things perfectly fit, this reasturant become my GOTO reasturant on daily basis. Chef cooked every day special curry which assure me his curries are fresh. I thank him for feeding great authentic food. It's the reasturant I recommend if you...

I ordered the butter chicken set for about 1500 yen only to get 3 or 4 pieces of chicken approximately 1x1cm cubed. Ridiculous.

You are paying for sauce and barely anything more. I would maybe call it butter and “essence” of chicken.

How is this justifiable?

I also ordered the pork rib, once again absolutely tiny serving of meat. Barely any meat existed, it was mainly bone, heavily over salted, overcooked and chewy.

Also the chef was coughing while preparing the food. I left to find a different...

First rate Indian cuisine by a master chef.

We had the vegetable curry (no meat) and dal lunch set meals with naan bread. The dal was very good, and the vegetable curry was exceptional (so we ordered a second helping). We asked for spicy, and it was spicy delicious.

We also had two mango lassi made with mango purée which were delicious.

Service was friendly and efficient.

Highly...
