PARBATI — Restaurant in Niigata

This is the worst Indian/nepali restaurant experience in Japan. I went to some Indian restaurants in remote locations in Japan, fortunately most of the time I got really delicious experiences. I wonder how this shop exists near Nigata railway station. I ordered today's special curry and child set. The curry was just below average, and the plain nan was not properly cooked.

The amount of food for lunch is more than enough too! I was also able to take some samosas home when I couldn’t finish them there....
