The Lotus Indian Nepali Restaurant — Restaurant in Tokyo

I had the opportunity to try the fried rice at this Nepali restaurant, and while it may not be traditional biryani, it delivered an excellent taste experience that was truly memorable.

The dish was a delightful departure from the usual biryani preparation. Instead of the traditional layered approach, it featured fragrant rice expertly stir-fried with an array of flavorful ingredients. The result was a medley of textures and tastes that surprised and delighted my palate.

The rice had a perfect balance of moisture, each grain distinct and not clumped together. The combination of vegetables, protein, and aromatic spices added depth and complexity to each bite. The mild heat and subtle spice notes elevated the dish without overpowering it.

What set this fried rice apart was the restaurant's unique touch, which brought Nepali flavors to the forefront. It was a fusion of cultures that worked exceptionally well. The dish was garnished with fresh herbs and served with a side of cooling yogurt-based sauce, creating a harmonious contrast of flavors.

The portion size was generous, making it a satisfying meal on its own or a great accompaniment to other dishes on the menu.

While it may not be the traditional biryani, this fried rice was a testament to the restaurant's creativity and commitment to delivering unique taste experiences. It's proof that culinary innovation can lead to delightful surprises. I highly recommend giving it a try for a different, but equally enjoyable, take on this...

The food is exceptionally delicious for Nepalese. The service was also excellent. The cost was normal. They have a lot of things on the menu that other places don't have, so I was able to get a little wild. The decorations and cleanliness were good. I have nothing bad to say! I had the Ladies' Set for dinner with a side of Chad Chana which was kind of like a chickpea salad. The set came with some yummy pickles. I had a cheese naan, which was chock full of cheese. The two curries I got were a vegetable curry that was delicious and had a slightly sweet flavor, and a mellow daal curry that has some nice spice hints. I would like to mention that the use of spices here is really good, not boring at all except for the chai, which could have been a little spicier but...

We had high hopes after reading all of the great reviews here. However, the quality of the food was poor - the samosa was still frozen in the middle, the dal curry tasted like it was prefrozen with the beans chalky in texture, and the nan was doughy and smelled like pancake mix. We now know why there are never any customers in the restaurant even at lunch time when we went. The one dish that we can say was good was the mutton curry. It was quite tasty and had soft moist pieces of mutton in it. I’m guessing that the chef changed after all of the other reviews. I would only go back if I saw the restaurant consistently with at least...
