Today, I was determined to eat lamb chops at the popular Indian restaurant "Chandama," which I found online and is within walking distance from the hotel. I tried calling to confirm their opening hours before heading out, but no one answered. Perhaps it was still before the evening opening hours? I had a bad feeling. The information online about their opening hours was inconsistent, with different times listed on their website's homepage and access page. It seemed quite careless. Nevertheless, I decided to go and walked through the snowy streets. When I arrived, I was surprised to see a notice posted like the one in the photo. I was relieved that I had come. I then walked another 20 minutes on foot through the snowy streets to finally reach the restaurant. As I entered, the aroma of spices filled the air, and all the staff were of Indian descent. It felt very authentic. There were two other customers, both women dining alone, and I could sense a strong aura from them. It was as if they were asking me, "What does India mean to you?" The staff listened closely when I placed my order. I couldn't make a weak order under such pressure. I carefully ordered the most challenging-sounding mutton curry, Mutton Do Piaza, and selected the fifth level of spiciness out of eight options. Beyond the fifth level, additional charges applied for extra spiciness, with options for very spicy, extremely spicy, and double extremely spicy. After placing my order, I took a moment to relax until the food was served. I noticed there were power outlets available, unlike what was mentioned on their website. The restaurant was well-maintained and thoughtful, contrary to the information online. All the dishes were served at once. Feeling slightly unsatisfied from the tension during ordering, I hurriedly added Jeera Rice to my order and started eating. The JYOTI Salad had a pleasant spice aroma without any strong flavors, which I enjoyed. The lamb chops were exquisite with a unique use of spices, taking them to a different level. I then tried the Mutton Do Piaza with Cheese Naan, and by the time the Jeera Rice arrived, I was already enjoying the meal. Despite being labeled as extremely spicy, the dishes were easy to eat, with the umami flavor coming first. I started sweating gradually as I ate. Everything was of high quality. I initially wanted to try the lamb chops as a change of pace, but I never expected to find such authentic Indian cuisine in Sapporo. To top it off, I even received a dessert as a service. The bill came to just over 6,000 yen, totaling 6,030 yen, but it was definitely worth it for a satisfying dinner.

I have been to the previous location a few times, so I decided to try it out here. In the past, they had a variety of curry options, so I used to choose based on my preferences. This time, the staff didn't speak much Japanese... probably from India, so I went with the Pune set. The special curry had eggplant, potatoes, broccoli, shrimp, chicken, corn, green beans... lots of ingredients. As someone who prefers Western-style curry, it was a bit... I should have gone with butter chicken curry instead. The yogurt still had the same name written on it as before.

During a break, I decided to have lunch at a restaurant I had never been to before due to still being concerned about that virus. I looked for a place a bit further away from Odori Park and stumbled upon this place. It was past lunchtime, so I wasn't sure if they would still be open, but since it's near Susukino, I figured it wouldn't be too crowded. I walked along a street south of Tanukikoji and found a building with the menu displayed. I took the elevator up and arrived. There was hand sanitizer at the entrance, and inside, the staff told me to sit wherever I liked. I chose a table as there was one group already at the counter. You could see the view from the window at the counter, but I opted for a table seat. There were also semi-private seats available. I checked the lunch menu and asked about today's curry. It was potato and chicken curry, both of which I like, so I ordered Lunch Set A with today's curry, medium spiciness, and naan. It arrived in about 10 minutes. The naan was huge! It came with a salad. The curry had visible chunks of potatoes. I tried the naan first - soft and chewy. I dipped it in the curry. The curry had a good amount of spices but was not too salty. The potatoes were large, and the chicken was subtle. The salad was average. The naan was so big that I had to balance it with the curry. I wished the curry was a bit spicier. The salad was okay. I was full from the naan. Just then, yogurt was served. The restaurant's name was written on the cup. The yogurt was delicious and served as a refreshing palate cleanser. I opted for the cheapest set, but the sets with curry and chicken seem like a better deal. I would like to try that next time.

I have been stationed in Sapporo for two weeks now. Although my work remains the same wherever I am, the biggest difference is in my food life. I am enjoying Sapporo's flavors every day. Today, I invited some promising staff members for lunch! We went for authentic Indian curry. The restaurant is located on the 7th floor of a building a little north of Tanuki Koji 4-chome shopping street. The restaurant on the 7th floor is not visible from outside, so I would never have found it on my own. I ordered the D lunch set (1380 yen), which comes with two curries, chicken tikka, a soft drink, and naan. I could choose two out of six curry options (daily curry, vegetable curry, dal curry, chicken curry, keema curry, mutton curry). According to my staff, the naan is delicious, especially the cheese naan. So, I ordered the cheese naan separately. It was indeed delicious. Maybe even better than pizza. It was a really good restaurant. A few days later... After work, when I was heading home alone, I remembered this restaurant and decided to have dinner there alone. I found another restaurant where I can go alone. I wonder who to invite for lunch tomorrow and what to eat? However, I will be the one inviting, so I will be paying for everything. The only downside is that even at cost-effective restaurants, it ends up costing double when I pay for everyone.

I was in the mood for curry, so I went to "JYOTI The Door to India" as of 04/21/2022, the rating was 3.38. It was my first visit since they relocated. I searched for the location on Tabelog, but ended up in a completely different place... Sometimes that happens, right? Took the elevator to the 7th floor and the place was filled with a curry atmosphere. Ordered Keema with very hot spiciness, Butter Chicken with medium spiciness, Plain Naan, Japanese Rice, and two Plain Lassis. We also received yogurt as a service at the end. Enjoyed the curry. I plan to visit during lunchtime next time. Thank you for the meal! I will definitely go back to JYOTI The Door to India!

On a regular evening, I was lured into a restaurant by an Indian staff member handing out flyers. Since I was still a little hungry, I ordered the ladies' set, which was renamed as the Pune set. It included a half portion of special curry, a half portion of naan, salad, one piece of chicken tikka, half a papad, yogurt, and a drink - all for a great price. The drink even included lassi at no extra charge. The contents of the special curry were a mystery, but it turned out to be a mix of vegetable curry, mixed vegetable, chicken, mutton, and Indian cheese - allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors in small portions. The naan was a perfect size, slightly larger than those sold in convenience stores. The restaurant was not crowded as I went early, making it a comfortable dining experience. Overall, it was a great meal.

☆LP☆ KG&LP love Indian curry! Tonight, we decided to go for Indian curry and drinks! We found a place near Tanukikoji, not in Susukino where it's hard to come across Indian curry. However, this place offers all-you-can-drink, making it a fantastic restaurant. The interior is spacious with table seating and private rooms with curtains, giving it a stylish Indian vibe. According to research, it used to be located in Tanukikoji but had to close temporarily due to a fire at another store. It's great to see them back in business (^_^)/ The staff are mainly Indian, with one who speaks fluent Japanese and seems to be the owner, looking very intelligent. They kindly asked us what we would like to order from the menu, creating a pleasant atmosphere. We decided to go for the all-you-can-drink option, which costs a little over 2000 yen for 120 minutes, making it a bit pricey. Perhaps it's due to the location. For appetizers, we ordered Bengali potato salad, seekh kebabs, and tikkas. The potato salad had a unique taste, seasoned with mustard oil giving it a nice spicy kick. The tikkas were fragrant, and the accompanying sauce was irresistible. We also had a mini-sized naan as a palate cleanser, which was a nice touch. The chili paneer was also delicious, increasing our appetite even more. Everything was rich and flavorful, perfect for enjoying with drinks. We also ordered cocktails, and it was cute to see the staff a bit flustered, probably because it's not a common order (laughs). For the main course, we had the classic butter chicken curry and chicken tikka masala. We indulged in the food, and the alcohol started to kick in (laughs). It's been a while since we've found a highly recommended restaurant like this. They also focus on vegan options and are accommodating to special requests, which is great. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for the delicious meal!

On a certain holiday, I visited an Indian curry restaurant bookmarked for lunch located in Nishi 4-chome, Minami 3-jo, Chuo-ku. I climbed up to the 7th floor of a building with many dining establishments, and the interior of the restaurant was relatively spacious with counter seats, table seats, and even some small private rooms. The background music playing was like local pop songs. I wondered if lunch was only available on weekdays as I looked at the menu. This time, I decided to try the "Spinach Keema Curry (1000 yen)" from the grand menu with a medium spiciness level. Oh, there's no naan included! So, I ordered the "Garlic Naan (400 yen)" which is 50 yen more than plain naan. After a while, my order arrived. Wow, the smell of garlic! I took a bite... The curry arrived in a relatively small teacup-like bowl, and as I tasted it, I found it to be just right in terms of saltiness and not too oily. The spinach was not as prominent as I would have liked personally, but it seemed just right for most people. The finely minced meat and boiled egg added a nice touch, and the medium spiciness level was subtly spicy. The balance of volume between the curry and naan was such that there was a lot of curry left over. The naan was cut into four pieces, and it had a good thickness to it, living up to its extra charge! It arrived with what seemed like garlic oil sprinkled on top, but it turned out to be some kind of seasoning that made it taste excellent even when eaten on its own. Oh, after the meal, something arrived for dessert, and as I took a bite... Wow, yogurt with mango sauce and the restaurant's name written on it. The rich yogurt paired well with the mango sauce. Overall, despite being a bit pricey due to its location in the city, I was impressed by the well-made naan and the flavorful curry. Thank you for the meal.

Located on the 7th floor of a building along Minami 3-jo Street near Susukino, this Indian restaurant has moved here after its previous location on Tanukikoji Street was affected by a fire. The interior exudes an Indian atmosphere, with tables set up for dining. The menu offers a variety of curry dishes, but I opted for the recommended set menu, the "Pune Set (1,580 yen)" with a spiciness level of 4 (hot). This set includes JYOTI's special curry (half size), mini naan, salad, chicken tikka, papad, soft drink, and dessert. The food arrived in about 10 minutes, and I found the naan and chicken tikka particularly delicious with their authentic textures. The curry, even at level 4 spiciness, was quite hot, so those who are not fond of spicy food may want to go for a milder option. While the prices may seem a bit high, if you're looking for tasty Indian curry in the Susukino area, this place comes highly recommended.

It has been relocated near Tanuki Koji. Bright and inviting atmosphere!! Not only focusing on Indian curry, it also has a European taste and a sophisticated atmosphere. The seats by the window seem to offer a nice view. I chose a secluded seat away from the crowd. I ordered the spinach chicken curry with maximum spice level of 5, and added naan for an extra charge. They also had a half-size option, but I chose the normal size. The bowl, about the size of a tea cup for women, felt small, but the curry was consistently delicious! There was plenty of chicken in it. The spiciness slowly crept up on me, maybe from the hot oil? It might not be enough for men in terms of portion size. It would be nice if they had set menus with rice or naan included for dinner as well. By the way, the soup curry is priced at 1700 yen. They also offer the world's sweetest dessert, Gulab Jamun, as well as Lassi, Kaju Katli, Motichoor Laddu... I'm curious about dessert names I've never heard of. The cafe time, which includes a drink, is a bit of a bargain at 950 yen. How about trying Indian cafe time once in a while? Happy hour drink all you can for 60 minutes starts from 1380 yen. The menu is displayed on the first floor of the building, so it is helpful for reference. Thank you for the meal!

Actually, it's my first visit here. When it was on Tanuki Koji, I had the impression that there were a lot of foreign tourists, so I never went. I found out about the reopening through the reviews of other reviewers and decided to give it a try. I ordered the Lunch Set C, with Chicken Curry and Keema Curry. I chose the maximum spiciness level. They asked me, "Are you sure?" but I said I didn't know, but I'd be fine. First came the salad. Then, the curry was brought surprisingly quickly. The naan is delicious. It's crispy and fluffy, both enjoyable, and the taste is delicious. The spiciness is not spicy at all. I wish it was spicier. Personally, I like the Keema Curry. I ate it clumsily and ended up splattering it on my clothes. I wish they had aprons. I'd like to try something different next time.

The previous location burned down in a fire, but they moved and I visited for the first time. The food is still delicious as always, and the atmosphere is brighter and nicer than before. I highly recommend it!
