WATAN INDIA FAMILY RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Tokyo

Nine tables for four on the second floor. Each table includes a QR code for reviews, which led directly to Google Maps. A bit surprised it's the first time I've ever encountered that idea. Big screen TV showing "Only Islam" and I think that's also the name of the background musical chanting. Checked with the Indian staff that the language was Arabic and that the restaurant is halal. Later it switched to some kind of children's educational video in English, but I think it's a Japanese (NHK) source. Wi-Fi available on request. Minor surprise coffee was not on the menu, but it's halal and perhaps also availble on request.

Curry of the day is chicken with beans. Nice flavor, though I had to a bay leaf and another spice I think you're not supposed to eat. Spice scales seems to be tilted to the milder Japanese side. Naan got me to boost the food rating to five stars, though with naan I always wonder about the luck of the cooking. Batter was slightly sweet and yeasty and extra flavorful butter. Average salad and I really enjoyed the mango lassi. Good value and strong four stars overall.

Recently I heard that this part of Tokyo has a big concentration of Indians. I thought the "locus" was farther east, in Chiba, but threre sure is a lot of good Indian food...

A Hidden Gem for Tandoori and Grilled Starters in Tokyo!

I recently visited this restaurant and was blown away by the quality of their Tandoori and grilled starters. The Malai Chicken and Hariyali Chicken were incredibly juicy and packed with flavor. The paneer pieces were generously sized and perfectly marinated. Cooking in the Tandoor is truly an art, and these dishes were executed to perfection.

The Nalli Biryani was a standout, with a generous serving of tender meat that transported me back to my days in New Delhi. The Vegetable Biryani was equally impressive, bursting with a variety of vegetables and definitely not just a pulao!

They offer a lunch buffet on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, which is a great opportunity to sample a variety of dishes. I even spotted Roomali Roti being served to a customer, although it wasn’t listed on the menu.

For anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine, I highly recommend this place. It’s a must-visit for a true taste of...
