Delicious food and great service

My wife and I ate there for dinner and the food was superb. A great variety of vegetarian dishes on the menu and the curries were full of flavour. The naan bread was amazing (only need one between two!) We also had onion pakora don samosa for entree and they were excellent!

Butter by mistake

Ordered everything to be vegan from the vegan specific menu but there was butter in the paratha dough. They did apologize and offered a vegan version. So it’s best to ask to confirm.

some nice items

Vegetable salad was prettier than the menu photo as it had carved carrot flowers on it. Sambar soup, vegan komatsuna sesame naan, and iced soymilk chai were all good. I like how you can decide if you want to add sweetener or not to the chai yourself.

Didn't get lucky with the curries this time- the baingan bharta wasn't as good as when I ordered it in their Harajuku branch and didn't have too much flavor. This was disappointing because it was outstanding last time I ordered it in Harajuku. The root vegetable curry had a ton of mushrooms and I found the flavor really overpowering- I couldn't finish it. Looked back at the menu and it clearly stated it had mushrooms in it, so that one was my fault.

I adore how they have a separate vegan menu, even though it's a totally vegetarian and vegan restaurant. It makes ordering so easy.

Pros: Vegan naan, Separate vegan menu, Pretty salad

Cons: curries

Good Indian food

While I love Japanese food, after 10 days of eating pickled vegetables 3 meals a day, Indian food was a really nice change. The vegan Naan was amazing. Really enjoyed one of the vegan thali plates with a few curries and Naan.

A little hard to find - head up the elevator off the street next to the sign. A little more expensive than some of the fast food type vegan places, but worth it.

Pros: Something Different in Japan, Vegan Naan!

For vegans mostly.

A chain of Indian restaurants with quite a few vegan options. It's good, but pretty expensive compared to some of the cheapest Indian food places around. Not really worth it unless you are (with a) vegan.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Consistant quality

Cons: Expensive

Superb vegan naan bread

It's 100% vegetarian, and the menu clearly states what's vegan, and what can be made vegan. Really tasty curries, and the best vegan naan bread I've ever had. We went in the evening (a la carter, no buffet in the evening) and prices were reasonable.

Pros: labelled vegan options (which are about 75% of the

Yummy Indian food in Ginza

This place is a relief for vegetarian. It is veg only place. I had dinner and lunch there in my 6 days stay in Tokyo. Food is tasty and service is exeptional. The lunch was very resonable around 1000 yen. The desert (kheer?) was absolutely delicious.

Pros: veg and vegan place

Cons: little pricey for dinner

Tasty Indian food in Ginza

Depending on what you want to order, you may find it works out cheaper to order individual things rather than one of their thali deals.

Lovely food in a cooky setting. I particularly like their saag/spinach sauce based curries the best. Try their specialty nugget based dishes!!

Buena opción para veganos y vegetarianos

El lugar se basa en un buffet de pan pita. Sirven porciones de tipo vegano y otras de tipo vegetariano (estas son con huevo). Esas porciones de pan se mojan en salsas de diferentes tipos, bastante ricas. Hay también ensalada. El lugar está muy orientado a satisfacer a veganos y vegetarianos, siendo todos los alimentos veganos excepto uno de los tipos de pan pita que comenté antes. Siendo Tokio una ciudad bastante carnívora, este lugar fue un pequeño oasis. Recomendado.

Pros: El 95% de los alimentos son veganos. El 5% restant

Cons: Las bebidas tipo cerveza y refrescos pueden ser ba

Great food for a very reasonable price

We came here during the lunch buffet, only around 1000 yen for all you can eat. They had 4 different curries, naan bread, rice, salads, dessert and coffee. We left very full and happy, perfect place for lunch during a trip to Ginza.

The staff were lovely and friendly, I left my hat behind and when I returned a few hours later they had it waiting for me. So nice!

Pros: The mushroom/mock meat curry

Cons: None, go there.

vegan indian in Tokyo (Ginza)

This is a vegetarian indian restaurant with vegan options! Good food, chose from a set menu or pick what you want from a regular. I had the vegan set and allthough it wasn't a lot of food it was very tasty. The small portion and high price is keeping this from being a five star. However, this is Japan so the price is not teally that high!

Pros: vegan, friendly

Cons: small portions

Great vegan menu.
I was very surprised at the quality and freshness of the food.

The green vegan nan is super. Vegan dessert also good.
Vegetarian menu also good selection and taste.
Wish we had this restaurant in Amsterdam:)

Fantastic Naan

I was looking for a vegetarian friendly restaurant close to my hotel in Ginza.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Nataraj. The onion Pakora and Panner were very good.

The Vegan Naan was exceptional. I would go as far as saying it was the best Naan I've ever tasted.

The only negative in the meal was the brown rice which was very sticky which is probably due to local tastes. Still Tasted fine but didn't look appetizing.

All in all a great meal and good service.

Pros: Vegan Naan was exceptional , Good Paneer

Cons: brown Rice was too sticky

Delicious Indian food!

After try to go to several Japanese restaurants and find out either they were closed for no reason or they didn't have any vegan dish, we've decided to try an Indian restaurant. It was a great idea!

From 11am till 3pm there is a lunch buffet (all you can eat!) for just ¥1130 (taxes included). Everything is not vegan is clearly marked but if you have any doubt you can ask the waiter.

All the curries were vegan and delicious! And the vegan naan... yummy!!! They also make Indian chai with soy milk, really good!!!

I highly recommend this restaurant.

Pros: Cheap, delicious, almost everything is vegan

Cons: Not everything is vegan, what are you eating for?

Vegan naan, clear labels

Good selection of vegetarian curries, clearly labelled for allergens making ordering easy. The option for a vegan naan was particularly exciting!

This place is a little on the expensive side for the quality of the food, we found the curry to be tasty but definitely not our favourite curry in Tokyo! Although Nataraj is a lovely restaurant to sit in and the staff were very polite so definitely overall a very positive experience.

A great option when in Tokyo as it is a chain found in many of the tourist hot spots.

Pros: Attractive restaurant , Clear allergen labelling, Lots of choices

Cons: A little expensive

Favorite Veg Restaurant During Two Week Trip

Spent two weeks in Japan with my wife; ate at 8 or 10 vegetarian restaurants during our trip, and this was our favorite! We ended up eating here twice - our first and last nights. Fantastic vegetarian Indian; great service; extremely careful about allergies and describing which dishes are vegan; really great breads! Reasonably priced - not super expensive; not super inexpensive.

Super Indian food

I would recommend everyone who loves indian food to come here. I loved it. It´s marked in the menu what contains milk. They even have vegan nan, nice! I had a selection with two currys(lentils/ beans and one with tofu), salad, starter(seitan) and vegan nan. They were so good!
But my gf choosed a curry with tofu, can´t remember the name but the tofu was spongy. Maybe it´s suposed to be like that but I didn´t like it and I usually love tofu in every form.

Pros: Good food, Nice staff

Cons: Spongy tofu

Love this place!

Traditional Indian cuisine in an authentic atmosphere with background Bollywood music. I've been here quite a few times when I miss home cooked food. The food is tasty and satisfying. There are many different set menu's available but I usually go for the vegan one. The vegan naan is great! It's really easy to find - you take an elevator outside the jewelery shop next to Uniqlo to the 7th floor.

Incredible Indian!

A favorite of ours with plenty of delicious vegan options, including the nan! The Nataraj Special, Baigan Bhurta, and Saag Palak are among our favorites. Other Tokya locations: Shibuya, Ogikubo, and Minami Aoyama.

Pros: Excellent food, Good value, English menu
