TOMBOY Akasaka — Restaurant in Tokyo

Dined here on a Saturday night around 7:00pm. First impression is that it's a disjointed operation. I was seated at a table with a lunch menu, an employee eventually noticed and moved me to another table with a dinner menu.

I'm not sure what went on with my order (Butter chicken and cheese naan set), but there was some commotion between the wait staff and the kitchen when the waiter picked up the order. Not what you want to see/hear when you're dining out.

The cheese naan is very good. The included salad was also very good. I did not care for the lamb kabab (not a good match) or the BBQ chicken (very dry). The butter chicken was much sweeter than any I've ever had before, so while tasty, I found myself wishing I'd dined somewhere else this evening.

It's hard to describe how flavorful all the dishes are, but my goodness it was so amazing. I'm solo traveling and I'm feeling very guilty having such an amazing meal without my wife to share this experience. I ordered the anchovy potato and mentai potato, cheese naan, and the paneer makhani (star of the show). I took my time eating to savor every moment of it. The restaurant itself is very nice and the staff is very friendly and helpful with recommendations. I'm in Japan for another week and I will definitely be coming back here...
