Indian/Nepalese Himalaya — Restaurant in Kyoto

Extremely Disappointed and Disrespected

Yesterday, I visited this place with my wife — and honestly, this might be the last time. I’ve been here 4–5 times just this month alone, so I expected at least a basic level of respect and hospitality. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing short of humiliating.

While the initial service was okay, the way the owner spoke to us was absolutely unacceptable. Instead of respectfully addressing us with “tapaiharu,” he casually and rudely said things like “tīmīharu lai chāincha vane…” as if we were begging for food or eating there for free.

My partner and I both agreed that this is one of the best experiences and Indian food...

I entered the restaurant to eat noodles and was given good hospitality, the soup salad was very different and very tasty. I ordered the keema noodles on the menu for 600 yen and another cheese naan for 450 yen. The food came shortly after ordering. The food was a bit more: the noodles and the cheese naan were very tasty. I have never felt so good and sweet in...
