The taste is consistently delicious. It can get quite crowded on Sundays at lunchtime, so be mindful of the timing. The lunch set B here comes with a drink after the meal for 890 yen. It will leave you feeling full. I like the butter chicken curry the best, but I always struggle because I can't choose the cheese naan set. The cheese naan is tasty, but it's quite filling (lol).

JYOTY is located inside the Noya-machi Arcade, which leads from the major shopping street on the west side to Ryoma Street in the south. It is an Indian and Nepalese cuisine restaurant known for its great value lunch curry. Today, many nearby curry shops are closed, so I decided to go to JYOTY instead of the shop with a cat manager. I chose the A lunch set, opting for the spinach and potato curry this time, with extra spiciness. The meal started with a soup and salad – the salad was served with French dressing, and the soup was a creamy onion soup. The curry, served separately from the rice, was a vegetarian curry with potatoes and spinach, and the spiciness was just right for me. The curry was flavorful and not overpowering, making it easy to enjoy. The portion of curry and rice was generous, and I opted for a second serving of rice, but a smaller portion this time. The mango lassi drink was served alongside the curry, adding a sweet touch to the meal. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and the mango lassi was refreshing. The restaurant was busy with business people, and I noticed many ordering rice dishes as well. I enjoyed the spinach and potato curry at JYOTY.

Located inside the Naya-machi Arcade, which continues from the west side of the Ote-suji Shopping Street towards the south. It is within walking distance of Keihan Fushimi Momoyama Station and Kintetsu Momoyama Oryo-mae Station, but the nearest stop is likely the Nishi-ote-suji bus stop. It is advertised as an Indian restaurant, so it seems to serve Indian-style curry. The Nepalese flag is displayed on the sign and inside the restaurant. While it is listed as a curry restaurant option, this was my first visit. At lunchtime, there is a lunch menu displayed facing the street, allowing you to take your time to decide. Upon entering, the counter was full, so I was seated at a table. There were many locals and regular customers present. As expected, most people opted for naan over rice. I chose the A lunch set with rice, mutton curry, and hot chai with the spice level set to very spicy. The lunch menu allows you to choose between naan or rice, curry, and a drink. As of March 2023 (tax included), the A lunch set costs 790 yen. First, a soup and salad were served. The salad consisted of cabbage, lettuce, etc., with a French dressing (red). The soup was creamy without any thickening agent, with the taste of onion cream soup. Next, the curry and rice arrived. It was in the form of curry rice, with a generous amount of curry sauce and rice. Surprisingly, the sauce was not too watery and had a slight thickness to it. You pour the sauce little by little over the rice and eat. The mutton curry had a mild flavor and the spiciness slowly built up. It was more spicy than medium but not extremely hot. It may not be suitable for those seeking a very spicy dish, but it allows you to easily enjoy Indian curry. The mutton was slightly tough, perhaps due to the age of the animal, and was cut into chunks similar to beef. There was no gamey taste, but it had a slightly different flavor compared to beef. The A lunch set allows for unlimited refills of naan or rice, so I requested a second serving of rice. The dish was served in a slightly smaller size. The generous amount of curry sauce was just enough for two servings of rice. Lastly, the hot chai was served. I had it without sugar. It had a mild flavor with a hint of cinnamon and subtle spices, resembling an Asian milk tea. I enjoyed the flavorful curry rice in a quiet atmosphere. Notable is the high cost performance compared to the curry chain originating from Nishibiwa Island. While it may not be in the same league, it offers great value for the price.

In the Naya-machi shopping street in Fushimi Momoyama, there is a recently popular Indian and Nepalese restaurant. I ordered the A lunch set, which came with curry, naan or rice, salad, soup, and a drink for 790 yen. You can have unlimited refills of plain naan and rice. The value for the price was quite good. The curry had four levels of spiciness to choose from and there were eight different types to choose from. The daily curry (on this day it was chicken and enoki mushroom curry) was quite soupy. I ordered a lassi drink, which had a yogurt-like taste and paired well with the curry, it was delicious.

I had the cheese naan lunch set. For 1090 yen, it came with salad, tandoori chicken, curry, naan, and a drink, and it was very filling. There were about 8 different types of curry to choose from, with 4 levels of spiciness. I ordered a mango lassi for my drink, and it was delicious. If you can't finish the naan, they give you a takeout bag so you can bring it home. It was delicious.

This shop was one of the few I hadn't visited in this town. I was told they were having a one-coin lunch event so I decided to go. The shop is long and narrow, with Indian music playing in the background. The service was polite. I ordered the Keema curry, naan, and cold chai for one coin. The food arrived in about 10 minutes, starting with a salad of mainly cabbage, corn, and a little watercress with a sesame-scented dressing. The naan was freshly baked and delicious. The curry was a bit like a paste, with a normal flavor and a little bit of minced meat at the bottom. The regular A lunch allows you to choose from 6 or 8 types of curry, and it comes with soup for 790 yen. Hmm.

Kyoto is Fushimi. It is located north of the Keihan, Nakashima Island Station, and west of Fushimi Momoyama Station. Along Ryoma Street, there was a shop here. I had work nearby and was planning to eat at a different curry shop, but it was closed. I was craving curry, so what should I do? Then, I found this place! The shop seemed empty, so I decided to go in. Inside the shop, there was a neat-looking staff member who seemed to be from India or Nepal. Despite speaking Japanese very quickly, there were no issues with ordering. I ordered the A lunch set (790 yen) with spinach and potato curry with extra spiciness. After waiting for about 4-5 minutes, salad and soup were served. The soup was lukewarm and lacked flavor, while the salad was ordinary. When I finished the salad, the curry and naan were brought out. The naan was freshly baked and hot, with a generous amount of butter spread on it. It was difficult to tear due to the butter, but it was delicious. However, the curry was not very tasty. It lacked depth of flavor and tasted somewhat watery despite being spicy. Overall, the lunch was somewhat disappointing and felt incomplete.

I was looking for dinner in Fushimi, Kyoto and found that most of the restaurants were either high-end or chain restaurants. I ended up at a budget-friendly Indian restaurant. I tried the eggplant pagoda which was like an Indian-style tempura. The batter was thick but surprisingly went well with a cocktail called Kalua Lassi. The cheese in the cheese naan set was generous, and both the curry and tandoori chicken were delicious. I left satisfied.

I visited this shop for the first time! The popular Indian curry shop I used to go to before is gone, so I found this place! It's great! The food is served quickly, it's cheap, there's a lot of sauce, the atmosphere is nice, and the staff are all cheerful and friendly. And the food is delicious! I will definitely go back again! Oh, I usually ask for medium spiciness, but here it's considered mild. If you like it spicy, I recommend asking for spicier than usual. You can also ask the staff for recommendations. Thank you for the meal!

Cheese naan set. Spinach and potato curry with tandoori chicken, raita, salad, and soup. The cheese naan was delicious. I want to eat it as a snack (lol). This time, I made it hot (spicy). Even though I made it hot, it wasn't too spicy, but it made me sweat a bit, which was nice. I thought a bit more spiciness would be good, but I managed to finish it somehow! My stomach felt like it was going to burst. Satisfied!

I visited the restaurant because I was craving for some spices. It was before 2pm on a weekday and there were no other customers. There was a Japanese waitress working during lunchtime. I chose the A lunch set, which had a variety of options including mutton curry. The meal started with a cold salad and egg soup, followed by the mutton curry and naan. The naan was surprisingly large, much bigger than I expected. The mutton curry had a subtle spice flavor, with visible cardamom and crushed spices. It was not too strong, so even those who are not fans of mutton might be able to enjoy it. The curry was served generously, and the staff made sure to check if the spice level was okay. I left feeling satisfied, although I wished for a stronger spice punch. I found it strange that Indian curry restaurants are not more popular despite the trend of spice curries. I hope this restaurant gains more popularity in the future. Thank you for the meal.

The curry, naan, and chicken are all very delicious! The customer service is also fantastic. The staff, who are all from overseas, are always polite and I have never had any issues with the language barrier. When I asked for my drink without ice, it was always served correctly without ice. They always make sure the dishes are clean before using them, which makes me feel very comfortable. They also pay attention to when I finish my meal, so unless it's very busy, my drink always arrives at the perfect time. It's always a pleasant experience dining at this restaurant.

I wasn't sure if there were people inside, so I hesitated to go in, but it was the right decision to enter!! The food was really delicious. Salad, soup, curry, and naan (or rice) all come with free refills, and you can choose from 8 different types of curry and select the level of spiciness. I made a mistake and chose mild spiciness... it was sweet... tasty though!? But it was like a kids' curry haha. Next time, I'll go for the spicy option!! I now understand why others said it was very spicy. The portion of curry was generous and I was full! The staff were efficient and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated. I'll definitely order the spicy option next time!

I have been noticing a lot of Indian restaurants with the name Jyoti recently. This time, I decided to try the one near my place. It's located at the exit of a major shopping street, and the number of dining options in the Naya-machi shopping street seems to have increased lately. I might have missed it when I first moved here, but I noticed it recently. While looking at the variety of naans on the outdoor sign, I thought, "Let's go in and try their lunch specials." I entered through the narrow entrance and ordered the lunch set. After a short wait, a salad and soup were served. I'm not a big fan of soup and salad at Indian curry restaurants. The salad was drenched in dressing, and I could taste the staleness of the cabbage in between. Hmm... I felt a bit uneasy, but eagerly awaited the main course. The set included a large naan, chicken tikka, two types of curry, and saffron rice for 950 yen. Hmm... it's just an average Indian curry, I guess? It seems like they have adapted the flavors to suit Japanese tastes. The taste was neither good nor bad... I think I prefer the Indian curry in the same shopping street. The naan had a nice sweetness to it, though. There was something missing... I can't quite put my finger on it... It wasn't bad, but it lacked that special something... That was the overall impression of the restaurant. It was a bit disappointing, I suppose. JYOTY (Jyoti) TEL: 075-601-1297 Naya-machi 120-1, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Operating hours: 11:00-15:30 (Lunch), 17:00-22:00 (Dinner) Closed on irregular days

The lunch set menu offers great value for money. You can have unlimited refills of naan and saffron rice, which is perfect for those who want to eat a lot. I personally enjoy the saffron rice. The set menu starts with soup and salad, and the dressing on the salad is creamy and delicious. Then you get a choice of naan or saffron rice with curry, which is a typical Indian curry.
