Tasty! - Edit
Really filling meal sets. A lot can be made vegan! I had the first meal set vegan, couldn't resist the naan. The food was so good! The naan was fluffy and decent sized. The curries were flavourful but a bit spicy. The salad had a really nice and creamy dressing; I think it was a tahini dressing. The service is really good and interior is really clean and nice.

Fantastic meal - Edit
Food was fantastic every dish was much loved by my friends and I. Service was fantastic and came out quickly. Menu was quite large and many dishes are vegan or can made to be vegan. Definitely recommend.

Great Indian food - Edit
We had a great lunch. The food was tasty and the wait staff were very attentive and clearly cared about their customers. It was slightly pricy, but on par for restaurants in the area.

Nataraj - Edit
I have eaten at two Nataraj locations and it just does not disappoint. Both Nataraj locations I had been to were large compared to the typical size of Japanese restaurants, so it's easier to dine with others or groups. This location (Ginza) is slightly nicer than the Shibuya location. Possibly because Ginza is more upscale. What I really love about Nataraj is that green VEGAN NAAN they make. Yes, I said it...VEGAN NAAN. It's almost impossible to find vegan naan at any restaurant and Nataraj has really worked some magic with this one...it's actually pretty phenomenal. Aside from the naan, I ordered my usually entree, Aloo Gobi. I ordered this very spicy and it was pretty good but it didn't really stand out from other places I had been (this applies to both Nataraj locations). However, the winner here is the vegan naan...so delicious. Hooray for there being vegan options at this vegetarian Indian restaurant.

Tasty curries and naan - Edit
We enjoyed our chickpea curry and tofu and root vegetable curry that we had with vegan naan and vegan sesame naan. Service was quick and staff were friendly. The venue was nicely decorated. It was pretty expensive, but that is to be expected given the location.

Fabulous Indian - Edit

Husband who doesn’t like Indian - very happy!
A perfect meal!
Heaps of options and all really tasty. The menu is clearly labelled as to what’s vegan vs what’s vegetarian so you can’t make a mistake.
Everything was fresh and delicious but also full of that spice and richness that Indian quinine is known for.
Pros: Lots of vegan options., Vegan naan that was like the real deal., Easy to find.

Superb vegan options in Tokyo - Edit
The staff are obviously passionate about the restaurant and that shows in the food and the service here. Had a great vegan curry with rice and naan bread. It was so easy to understand what was vegan and what wasn’t which is a real plus in Tokyo. The vast majority of items on the menu are vegan and everything else is vegetarian.

Everything but the dessert! - Edit
Great place to eat while around Ginza area. There is a lot of (marked) vegan options on the menu including curries, daal, naan... even some appetizers and desserts, although the carrot cake was bellow average. Around 2000 per person, but that’s expected for the area.

From just a glance at the menu you can tell they care about quality food. I really enjoyed my meal. They gave me a comically large piece of Nan as well.

Savoury Indian food, cosy ambiance - Edit
Refined Indian food, where you can really feel the various flavours in harmonious combination. There is a buffet for lunch (which I did not try), and a full menu after, including desserts. All waiters I could see were diligent.
Read moreThe menu is really detailed, not only about the vegan nature of each item, but also regarding the ingredients (including but not limited to coriander, nuts, milk, flour), which may be useful if you have allergies.
The way the sets are to be customized is also explained at length, although I did not order one.
About half of the desserts are vegan; the tapioca kheer with fruit is especially tasty and refreshing. I could also recommend taking the blueberry sauce brownie with a (soy milk) chai, if you and I are “like-tasted”. :)
It is true that Nataraj is somewhat more expensive than other (Indian) restaurants, mainly as regards the curry; I suspect this has to do with the organic vegetables rather than the vegetarian-vegan diet (in particular, the nans are more affordable, be they vegan or not). Nevertheless, if you are going for the buffet with a good appetite, or mainly going for teatime (= not at lunch time, so that the dessert menu is available) or even a snack, then your budget should be fine.
(And the 30th-anniversary 10% reduction / free snack offer is ending on 30th October which is… just today, I am afraid!! So, do not count on that. X))
It should be noted that the menu differs a little bit between the various branches of Nataraj; in particular, especially if you are vegan, be aware that there are no soy milk lassis here (contrary to Shibuya’s and Harajuku’s) — although they do have soy milk chai and soy milk Indian café au lait (both savoury!).
On a side note: as for the sight, the decoration may be somewhat more busy than at Shibuya and Harajuku (but this Indian ambiance, with accompanying music as in the other ones, may suit you better depending on your — visual — taste); the room does not seem to have windows (or not open ones, in any case), which is a sorry thing since the dining room is located on the 7th floor. You can get an outside view at Shibuya and even wider at Harajuku, which I felt was very welcome.
Update [written 09/11/2019 (d/m/y)]: I have since tried the buffet (not at Ginza to be honest, but surely quite similar); another way of getting a great nice meal for a cheaper price, and up to 4 curry flavours at a time. Different in Shibuya (3 vegan) and Harajuku (4 vegan), but might depend on day.

Okay - Edit
All vegetarian which is great, but not the best Indian restaurant we’ve been too in terms of flavours, and pricey for what you get.

Three Menus - Edit
This restaurant has three menus. Regular, vegan, and pure vegan (vegan food without onion/garlic/leek etc.) I usually don’t like Indian food but their pure vegan food is really good!

Le seul hic est peut-être les prix mais des formules sont également proposées.

Would not recommend - Edit
I ended up of not eating here so please keep in mind before considering of visiting this place or not.
Read moreWe came here at a dinner time. Atmosphere is below average, restaurant is empty because it’s extremely overpriced! Rice bowl was ¥430, curries are served in small bowls. Be prepared to leave €35 per person for a dinner if taking set. As we wanted to share a set and were advised set is enough for 1 person only as bowls are small.
They should check how much rice and lentils cost before setting food prices. I don’t care if it’s in Ginza.
As per other reviews I can it used to be fancy in 2007, don’t expect it’s the same 12 years later.s
Good luck!
Pros: Location
Cons: Price, Poor indian interior

The best options for fodmap vegan - Edit
I am no garlic, no onion type of vegan so I was super excited to notice they had a diffenerent menu for me with multiple vegan options. The one that I got - potato and cauliflower - was unfortunately too hit for my taste so please let them know before hand if spicy is not your thing.

Not a bad Indian option - Edit
Quick service, good variety of vegan options (vegan nan) and flavourful. A little expensive but so is most of Tokyo. Not as greasy as many other curry sauces.

Lovely veggie curry! - Edit
Really tasty veggie and vegan curry selections. The restaurant is over 3 floors and the menu states what’s in it. 3 vegan naan breads and plenty of options. We had the soy meat curry and a spicy cauliflower curry with rice and vegan naan 💚🌱👌 lovely staff!

Always delicious, better value at lunch time though! - Edit
Visited with my family for the first time at dinner and we enjoyed our meal - 2 individual curries and one set, plus naan, and soy meat tikka (this was tasty but not as spicy as I hoped it would be!). Everything was great but it felt a little expensive. I recommend visiting at lunchtime if you are on a budget as the buffet and lunch sets are much better value for money!

Beautiful Indian in the heart of Ginza! - Edit
Partner and I had the vegan set to share and I got an extra rice. The naan was massive! So delicious and both the small curries were amazing. Also came with a nice salad and two small fried pakora type treats that were very yummy! Price could be a bit steep for some but because we shared it was the perfect top up after a long day😄
