Serves meat, vegan options available. While there are the typical meat dishes, the waitstaff speak English and will identify which dishes can be modified for vegans. Kitchen will provide alternatives in set courses (e.g. papadums instead of dairy based dessert). Heaters and some blankets provided in winter. Relocated Minami 2 West, 4-1 2nd floor, Chuo-ku, Tanuki koji. Reopened June 2021. Open Mon-Sun 5:00pm-11:00pm.

Great options for vegans - Edit
A delicious Indian restaurant with very clearly labeled vegan options, all of which were yummy. Serving sizes were on the smaller side but get some extra rice/vegan naan and you'll be fine.

Good lunch - Edit
Had the vegetarian lunch curry (careful, did contain cheese which I did not know). Samosas were very delicious. Free water.

Good food, good price and enough vegan and veg options - Edit
Very affordable, small menu. Most curries can be made vegan and the server will ask you if you are vegan when you are ordering. Cosy little place in central Sapporo very easy to find. The food was nice, good for what we paid. We got Mains, rice and naan and beer and rum and coke for drinks and total came to about $40 Australian. The staff are really nice.

A Disappointing Dinner - Edit
Probably the most disappointed I’ve felt after a meal in a long time. To be fair, the starters (samosas and chili paneer) showed promise and I was excited for my main. Even the papadum was roasted (not fried) and delicious.
Read moreThe main vegetable dishes we ordered were much too soupy. The dal, palak paneer and eggplant curry were watered down and lacked in flavor. There were no redeeming qualities. The jeera rice was not a fluffy Indian basmati, but instead a sticky Japanese rice that did not pair well with an Indian meal. The tandoori roti was dry, and the garlic naan was lackluster.
In all, I would not recommend this restaurant, and I’m sad I went there instead of another.

tasty Indian food - Edit
Spicy potato spinach curry and Nans are the best combination for a hungry n cold veggie traveler! Also tried the fried veggie balls, I forgot the name. Really crispy yet soft inside! Delicious!

Classic Indian - Edit
Lots of vegan dishes, all clearly labelled. Loved the food, especially the amazing vegan paratha. Staff were really friendly and very welcoming. Also allow you to choose the spice level from very mild to special ×2 hot (their hot was around a medium in the UK).

Best Indian EVER! - Edit
This is the best Indian food I've ever had! And to top it off, all of the servers are extremely knowledgeable about veganism. My waiter was very careful with my order and asked plenty of questions about specific ingredients. More options than most Indian restaurants and vegan items are clearly marked.
Read morePros: great location, quiet atmosphere
Cons: none!

Decent - Edit
If it's the best Indian food in town, I don't want to try the others.
Read moreThe place is nice and food is decent (loved how you could see the cooks work in the kitchen), but it's not a place I need to eat at again. (dined here August 2017)

Great service and nice food! - Edit
We visited Jyoti today, because it is near our hotel and we read about it on Happy Cow. The staff was really helpful, english-speaking and friendly. They asked if we were vegans and although we said that we are only vegetarians they checked if some ingredients (e.g. eggs) were ok for us. You can choose how spicy you want the food to be, the waiter pointed out, that "mild" in Japan means a little sweet, so I choose the medium curry, which was great. We also got a free dessert.
Read moreIn contrary to some other reviews, I don´t think it was expensive. We paid 2800¥ for two Curries, rice, nan and two mango juice - I often paid more for worse food.
I would give five cows, but for non-vegetarian restaurants only four are possible :).
Pros: Service, tasty food, great location

No longer the must-visit it was - Edit
I wrote an excellent review for Jyoti a year ago, when was one of the few places in Sapporo (on Happycow) one could find a trustworthy vegan meal. But this time I was quite disappointed. Only one dish (dahl) could be made vegan (or at least the owner only suggested one), and since the set meal came with Naan (and it didn't seem to be possible to change it) a reasonable dahl, a Lacha Paratha (bread), two samosas (with ketchup) and 'Spicy Potatoes' (basically a potato curry, made from about one potato) came to ~2000 Yen. The staff clearly understand veganism, and for Japan it's not a bad deal - in many parts of Japan a meal like this is a life-saver - but with so many new vegan restaurants on the scene and such a limited vegan range here now it's just not the must-visit it used to be. I'd strongly recommend making the effort to go and find the new vegan places, and giving them your custom instead. It was also very cold in the restaurant, unless you're lucky enough to get a table by the heater.
Read morePros: central location, staff understand veganism
Cons: limited vegan range, no vegan set so expensive for a meal

Great place for vegans in Sapporo. - Edit
Jyoti serves traditional Indian food, with various vegetarian dishes. The people at Jyoti are well aware about veganism and can veganize the vegetarian dishes.
Read moreAfter we ate our main courses the restaurant served us free dessert (yoghurt), the waitress remembered that I was vegan and served a vegan option instead.
Although people write that the food is expensive, I don´t think so. The service is very good, and it´s safe for vegans to enjoy the meal. This is a good restaurant to bring non-vegans as well. I will go back soon.
Pros: Good service, Vegan food!, Price
Cons: Unconfortable chairs, Cold by the window (in winter time)

a good indian restaurant - Edit
We went there on the evening and had the vegetable curry set: 1500 yen for 2 curries, a large nan, one soft drink, a small appetizer (salad and samossa) and a small dessert. It is not very cheap but worth the price.
Read morePros: good food, pleasant atmosphere
Cons: rice has to be ordered as extra
