I have been to this restaurant multiple times and have generally enjoyed my visits. The menu offers a variety of enticing options, and while the prices tend to be a bit higher compared to other restaurants, the overall dining experience has been satisfactory. However, during my most recent visit for lunch, I was left disappointed with the quality and value of the food.
I opted for a set meal priced at around ¥1045, including tax. Unfortunately, the lunch did not live up to its price tag. I couldn't help but compare it to similar sets available at nearby Indian restaurants, which were priced at around ¥700 and offered similar taste and quality. The lack of differentiation in taste made it hard to justify the higher cost at this particular restaurant.
While I understand that prices can vary among different establishments, it is essential for a restaurant to provide a commensurate dining experience for the price charged. Regrettably, this lunch fell short of expectations, and I felt somewhat disappointed. It is disheartening when the food fails to match the value it claims to offer.
However, it is worth noting that my previous experiences with this restaurant, particularly during dinner, have been more positive. The dinner menu offers a wider range of choices, and I have found the quality and taste to be satisfactory, justifying the relatively higher prices. Therefore, I would still recommend giving the restaurant a try for dinner.
In conclusion, while my recent lunch experience at this restaurant was disappointing, the overall impression of the establishment remains mixed. I hope that the management takes this feedback constructively and works towards ensuring consistency in the quality of their meals, especially during...

During our visit, a nearby family seemed disappointed with their curry selection. The staff promptly assisted them, tailoring dishes to their preferences. When our food arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. Each dish tasted incredibly fresh, authentic, and well-prepared.
We also visited their other branch inside a metro station, where the food was good, but this particular branch stood out. Throughout our stay in Osaka, we returned daily for at...

Sights: 10 tables elegantly decorated, TVs with Indian music videos.
Sounds: Indian music.
Touch: warm towels for and washing, comfortable temperature and seating in the dining room.
Smells: Nothing noticable until the food arrived which smelled great.
Taste: Chicken Tikka - juicy and delicious served with a coriander and mint sauce and a tomato and carrot sauce. Both amazing.
Vegetable Samosa - 3 samosas, crispy outside, warm and delicious inside. (I especially enjoyed them with the sauces from the Tikka)
Butter Chicken Curry - Chicken was excellent quality, the flavor was perfect. The naan was less bready and more like a pita which I prefer.
Staff was attentive and friendly. All in all, perfect experience. My...
