SATYAM Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Saitama

Contained in a charming building, which is rather spacious and airy for a Japanese establishment ( I confess to detesting the cramped and stuffy confines of so many tiny establishments, many of which STILL permit smoking !

Prices were a little high, with the set options not coming with drinks. (Other restaurants would usually include a small Lassi for the same price) There was no option to choose the level of spiciness which may be an issue for some customers.
