Ginza Nair's Restaurant — Restaurant in Tokyo

We are from India and were homesick for some Indian vegetarian food. Our hosts took us to this Indian restaurant. It is cosy and decorated with Indian paintings and artifacts. The food was authentic and tasty. There were South Indian as well as North Indian dishes, such as Medu Wada etc., and Chana Bhatura, etc., respectively. The manager and the staff were friendly and polite. We could see many locals also enjoying the food. We were thrilled to see a Sumo wrestler eating here. He was kind enough to let us click him with us( Photo attached). The plus point of this place is that it is located in the Ginza, an extremely popular tourist area. So it is most convenient for tourists wanting to try some Indian food. All-in-all, a definitely good place to visit for delicious and authentic...

This was neither authentic Indian food nor a fusion of Indian and Japanese. If this is their interpretation of Indian cuisine, it’s quite misleading. Japanese diners deserve much better Indian...

I went because I heard some good comments from local colleagues while visiting from the US. The food was a total disappointment. The menu is not very diverse. The chicken dish I ordered was mediocre. Bread (chapati) was not very good. I ordered a dessert- carrot halwa- which came in an unexpected way as a cake piece almost. The taste and consistency seemed all wrong. After one bite I gave up on that piece but the waiter left it on the bill anyway.

My advice after visiting two Indian restaurants this week in ginza - stay away! Go for some of the other local excellent choices. Even the fast food CoCo chain has better curry rice than these...
