菜食インドレストランShama京都店/Vegetarian Indian Restaurant Shama Kyoto — Restaurant in Kyoto

We walked by this restaurant a block from the Kawai Kanjiro house, a wonderful visit for pottery enthusiasts and for traditional Kyoto townhouse architecture. We are so glad we stopped in. We ordered the Namaste lunch set, with 2 choices of vegan curries, bread, salad , soup , a drink and a small dessert. Everything was delicious and easy to share. This restaurant is quiet and welcoming , the waitstaff speak English and there is an English menu. There is room for about 30 guests,with several 6 seat tables , so this would be a great place for groups. Spicing can be specified from mild to hot. We loved the naan and whole wheat paratha.

I’m looking forward to going back for tea and cake; I saw vegan macha cake and chocolate cake...

Literally the best food we have ever eaten. Most Indian restaurants use frozen food but this restaurant did not and I loved that. It tasted just like home cooked food!! LOVED IT! MUST TRY! Plus vegetarian and vegan food is hard to find in Japan but this restaurant is fully vegetarian and vegan!!! The people there were super nice. Thank you so much to the owner and staff of this restaurant!! Hope this business grows!...

This was the best Indian food I’ve ever had – absolutely delicious and full of authentic, home-style flavour. The owner is so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more special. We will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Indian food that feels like it’s...
