Delightful indian cuisine and a specific menu for vegetarians

The menu for vegetarians helps selecting food with a few questions only, much appreciated as not only don’t we speak japanese but hindi neither.
As food is concerned, we recommend dal and curry with vegetables

Pros: Vegetarian menu available, Very kind staff, Pleasant venue

All right for a quick meal

Not many options but the daal is vegan, as well as the roti. The staff is nice. Good for a meal if you visit the Sky tree.

Not that bad

As other have said, the only vegan option is the daal, which is ok. I tried to order samosas, but they said they weren't vegan; they could make me a roti though.
I thought the daal was fine and not that plain, the roti wasn't great.
Daal, rice and 1 roti for just over 2000 yen, and considering you are inside the Sky Tree, I think it's fine.
I was starving so I'm glad I could have at least one option for food.

Quite alright

Amara has one vegan main dish (for takeaway) on the menu (daal with lentils and vegetables). We also ordered some rice and roti with it an enjoyed the food on the terrace after a visit to the sky tree. The food was quite tasty and the size of the portions was also alright. It cost us about 3400 yen for 2 daal, 1 rice and 1 roti, which is also okay. So if you visit the sky tree, this is a decent option.

Pros: Tasty food, Affordable

Cons: Only one vegan option

Good Option at Tokyo Skytree

There aren't a ton of vegan options but the samosas were good. It's a good option when visiting the Skytree.

Pros: English menu

Cons: Not many vegan options

Ridiculous price

Popped in for lunch. They only had a daal for vegans which was fine. A normal lunch set which includes daal was around 1500yen. For two bowls of daal, two rice, two roti and one set of samosas it just cost us almost 5000yen!! Ridiculous. If you're vegan don't bother as you'll just get ripped off.

Pros: no pros

Cons: expensive

Great Spot at Tokyo SkyTree

We went in for a snack while visiting the tower. Friendly, accommodating staff with fast, efficient service. We had the masala nuts, samosas, and the Amara salad (with a vegan dressing, as requested). All really, really good!

Pros: Great staff, Great food, Great value

Not for vegans, bland food

Amara is a nice-looking Indian restaurant inside of the Tokyo Skytree.

Unfortunately the food is very bland and there is only one option for vegans. My husband and I shared the samosa appetizer and both got daal since it was the only thing thing they could make vegan. They could not make any of the breads vegan.

The daal was very bland, which is surprising considering this is an Indian restaurant. The samosas were just ok but were also pretty bland. I would not go back.

Cons: Only one vegan option, Bland food

Great location

My favorite thing about Amara was it's location. We were able to spend a day at the aquarium and Tokyo Skytree, then get dinner- all in the same building.
Their staff spoke English and explained all of the curry dishes and sets, which was of course helpful.
My only complaint is that it really is not "inexpensive" as the listing says, so watch out for that if you're on a budget. Most of the curry dishes are over 1200 yen, and you have to buy a plate of rice to go with it as well. We also got the garlic nan and a mango lassi, which made our total for 2 people just over 4000 yen.
Everything was really good and filling though! I loved the PANIR BHURJI curry, which was vegetarian and mild. The vegetable curry was slightly more spicy, less of a sweet curry, but still mild and yummy. I was also really happy with the size of the rice dish.

Overall, very good, filling, veg-friendly food that is just a bit expensive :)

Pros: yummy, filling, good location

Cons: expensive, rice doesn't come with curry
