Ajanta — Restaurant in Tokyo

There is English under Japanese.

麹町に来たので、お昼はアジャンタに突撃してきました(o^^o)

赤い外観がオシャレでレストランのような雰囲気です✨ 店内もレストランのようで、本当にインド料理屋さんなのか怪しくなりますね。笑

2階の席に案内されたので、階段を上って2階へ(°▽°) 2階割と広めですねー( ´∀｀) 11時前からやっていたので、先客は2組のみ‼️ 1番奥の眺望のいいところに、座らせてくれました。 ま、見えるのはセブンイレブンですけど(ﾟ▽ﾟ)

メニュー表を見ると、表紙に【ムガール帝国の濃厚チキン・カレー】とあってやたら興味を惹きつけられます(・∀・)

本日は、 ◯刺激的なコンソメのラッサム(¥400) ・トマトや香辛料が入っていて優しそうな味に見えましたが、食べると爆裂に辛かったです‼️ ビックリするくらい辛かったです:(；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'): 味は美味しいけど、とにかく辛かったです(＞＜)

◯お好みのカレー2品とライス又はパンのランチペア(¥1,650)にチーズナン(+¥100) ・AJANTA創業のカレーのチキン カレーAJANTAの真髄のマトン カレーをチョイスしました。 チキンカレーも驚くほど辛いですね(^◇^;) チキンはホロホロで、肉は辛くなく美味しかったです(((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o))) マトンカレーが1番優しかったです。笑 大好きマトンカレー(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) 今日は、途中に食べるチーズナンにかなり癒されました✨

◯インドビールのキングフィシャー 辛いとビールが進みますね！ これは適材適所的にかなり良かったです(ﾟ∀ﾟ)

どの料理も洗練されていて美味しいので、まずはマイルドから食べることをオススメします☆

ってなわけで、 アジャンタ、大変満足で美味しかったし辛かったです‼️ ご馳走さまでした(´꒳`)

Since I came to Kojimachi, I went to Ajanta for lunch (o^^o)

The red exterior is stylish and has a restaurant-like atmosphere✨ The inside of the store also looks like a restaurant, making me wonder if it is really an Indian restaurant. lol

I was guided to a seat on the second floor, so I went up the stairs to the second floor (°▽°) It's quite spacious with 2 floors (´∀｀) Since it started before 11 o'clock, there were only 2 groups of customers ahead of us!! ️ They let me sit at the very back with a nice view. Well, what you can see is a 7-Eleven (ﾟ▽ﾟ)

When you look at the menu, the cover says [Mughal Empire's rich chicken curry], which really grabs your attention (・∀・)

ToDay, ◯Stimulating consommé rasam (¥400) ・It seemed to have a mild taste because it contained tomatoes and spices, but when I ate it, it was extremely spicy!! ️ It was so painful that I was surprised :(;ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'): The taste was delicious, but it was really spicy (＞＜)

◯Lunch pair of 2 curries of your choice and rice or bread (¥1,650) and cheese naan (+¥100) ・We chose AJANTA's original curry chicken curry and AJANTA's quintessential mutton curry. The chicken curry is also surprisingly spicy (^◇^;) The chicken was soft and the meat was delicious without being spicy (((o(ﾟ▽ﾟ)o))) The mutton curry was the most gentle. lol I love mutton curry (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) Today, I was quite healed by the cheese naan I ate on the way ✨

◯Indian beer Kingfisher Beer goes well when it’s spicy! This was pretty good in terms of putting the right person in the right place (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

All the dishes are sophisticated and delicious, so I recommend starting with the mild ones.

So, Ajanta was very satisfying, delicious and spicy!! ️ Thank you for...

There’s this old-school Indian restaurant in Tokyo that first opened back in 1957—basically one of the pioneers of Indian food in Japan. When I used to work nearby about 30 years ago, the place was actually open 24 hours. After those ridiculously late nights at the office, I’d sometimes end up here for curry before heading home. Tonight, my Indian colleague said he’s a big fan of the place, so I tagged along—my first visit in three decades.

The mission for the night: Indian wine. We ordered a bit of everything—starters, mutton, chicken, even dessert—and paired it all with bottles of Sula Sauvignon Blanc and Grover red, both of which are pretty well-regarded internationally. The food here isn’t watered down for Japanese taste buds, so it’s properly spicy, which of course meant the wine kept flowing a little...

It was wonderful to discover an Indian restaurant in Tokyo and know that as a vegetarian I could easily eat there so A+ from the vegetarian me. The server male was also extremely understanding when I ordered something that I wasn't expecting and was uncomfortable eating it. From the Indian food loving me, I was a bit disappointed by the tastes. I do realize I am a bit spoiled living in Vancouver BC Canada. That being said, it was a slightly expensive restaurant where the chickpeas were a bit hard, the spinach saag paneer was canned type spinach, the paneer cheese was tough and the mango lassi wasn't blended - the unblended lassi Kinda threw me off I'll admit - I've never seen...
