Cobara-Hetta — Restaurant in Kyoto

Amazing curry and absolutely fantastic naan. We were walking around the food court trying to figure out what to try, and the aroma of this restaurant drew us in! They’ve got an English menu, but it didn’t really matter because the super friendly staff also spoke English really well.

I got the meal set that came with two types of curry: I chose the shrimp, and the potato and cheese. The potato and cheese curry was mind-blowing—I’ve never had anything that paired so well with bread: and as a cheese fanatic, the cheesy naan was amazing. The shrimp curry was also incredible—really mild with a wonderfully deep, rich flavor that, once again, paired so nicely with the naan. My brother got the butter chicken curry and really enjoyed it.

Definitely give this place a try if you’re hanging out at the mall, you won’t be...

I visited Cobara-Hetta in Aeon Mall Kyoto hoping for a satisfying Indian meal. The Chicken Biryani was flavorful, but there was very little chicken, which felt disappointing given the price. The Mali Kofta sounded exciting on the menu, suggesting nuts or almonds, but it had none, making it feel misleading.

The naan was decent, but charging ¥418 extra just for one more piece is really steep for a food court setting. While the restaurant is convenient for shoppers and the food is tasty in small portions, the price vs. quantity and menu expectations left me...

Absolutely atrocious. While eating there, I saw the older male Indian/middle eastern guys working there completely bullying and smacking one of the younger male Japanese worker. Right out in public!!! They noticed I was watching them grab him on the wrist and smack him several times, and they took him to the back. He didn't come back out for another ten minutes. I didn't know what to do, but something needs to be done. I'm going to try to email the business...
