Lucknow cafe — Restaurant in Kawasaki

We stumbled on this place due to the delicious smell; we didn't Google or Yelp it, we just happened to walk by. When we walked in, all the customers were Indian -- that's how you know a place is authentic, and wow, were we surprised. I would have never thought that the best authentic Indian food I've ever had in a restaurant would be in Kawasaki, Japan. My wife and I have eaten at many Indian restaurants in the US and elsewhere.

I used the word, "perfect," a lot because that was how the food was -- perfect! This is our last week on Kawasaki and I told my wife that instead of going back to an all-you-can-eat yakiniku, I prefer to come here, and I can't...

Chef Mr. Gopal also offered specially made cold almond milk, which was a refreshing change. This hidden gem is located in B1F just behind Kawasaki City Office. There used to be a restaurant called Soulti Food Bar at this location. Chef Mr. Gopal said that he can make customized dishes if informed in advance. Thanks to Indo Bazaar, Kamata owner Arif-bhai, finally we have a real and authentic Indian restaurant near...
