This is Mumbai Kitchen in Nishi-Kasai, an Indian town. This was my first visit and I was surprised by how clean and spacious the restaurant was. It was quite crowded, with about 30% Japanese and 70% Indian customers. I ordered the vegetable biryani and chicken Manchurian, which is a favorite combination of mine. The biryani was flavorful with a surprising layer of gravy at the bottom. It was not as spicy as I had feared, even though I asked for it to be very hot. The chicken Manchurian was delicious with its sweet and savory sauce. The owner, who is Nepalese, was a noticeable presence in the restaurant. I noticed they offer a weekend buffet, which seems like a good deal. Many Indian restaurants in Nishi-Kasai seem to have weekend buffets. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

On a Sunday at 9pm, the restaurant was almost full and filled with people of Indian descent, which was quite surprising. There was even a small child dressed up, so I wonder if they were having some kind of party. Despite thinking that the service might take a while due to the crowd, our order arrived quickly. We ordered two curry sets (butter chicken and mutton), prawn Manchurian, chicken biryani, and an additional cheese naan. The butter chicken was mildly spicy and quite sweet, with lean and tender chicken. The mutton had a strong lamb flavor without any gaminess, and was very delicious. The naan was soft and fluffy, without a crispy surface. The prawn Manchurian was salty with hints of pepper and consomme, and was surprisingly easy to eat. The chicken biryani had a generous portion of chicken on top of the rice, with fried onions adding a nice touch. The cheese naan was loaded with gooey cheese, with a thin and soft dough that was easy to eat quickly. We ate all of this until we were full, and the total cost was in the 5000 yen range. I had a perception that Indian curry restaurants for dinner were not cost-effective, but this place was quite good. Despite the busy crowd, the service was quick and all the dishes were delicious, leaving us very satisfied.

I had a craving for naan after a long time, so I decided to stop by when I had plans nearby. I ordered the cheese naan, and the chewy naan paired with plenty of cheese was excellent. The cheese itself is slightly sweet, so there may be some individual preferences regarding that. Also, the butter chicken has a sweet base, so if you're pairing it with cheese naan, I recommend getting it slightly spicy. *The lassi is also quite sweet. Overall, the flavors are on the sweeter side, so I personally recommend ordering slightly spicy for a more satisfying experience. The restaurant was very satisfying, and I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

I went to a restaurant to try a cucumber salad for the first time! The vegetables in the salad were finely chopped, making it easy for children to eat with a gentle flavor. They offer vegetable cheese curry, lentil curry, and chicken curry! They also serve Biryani made with a mix of Japanese rice and Basmati rice, which is cooked perfectly moist and high-quality. The chicken in the chicken curry is large! The cucumber salad is mixed with something that I can't identify, but it has a pickle-like taste. Overall, everything is delicious at this restaurant too!

I've been to several Indian curry restaurants in Nishi-Kasai, but this place has my favorite curry! The naan is too big to finish, but that's a common thing at Indian curry restaurants, right? I love the vegetable curry and butter chicken curry here! However, as someone who isn't great with spiciness, when I tried the "medium" level after the mild, the vegetable curry was pretty spicy and I was sweating. If you usually stick to medium spiciness, I recommend going for the mild option.

It's been a while since I found a great Indian curry restaurant. There is a similar curry restaurant nearby, so be careful not to mix them up! The cheese naan is sweet and incredibly delicious. It goes perfectly with the butter chicken curry, although I felt a bit guilty about the calories. The biryani was a bit questionable at first, but I got hooked as I kept eating. It has a unique curry-like flavor that is just irresistible. Ate too much!

Cheese naan and two types of curry set! The lassi drink had an authentic taste and was delicious! I chose butter chicken curry and shrimp curry! The rich cheese naan paired well with the rich curry! Rice also comes with it! You can get a refill of regular naan! Next time, I want to try the recommended biryani lunch available only on weekdays!

I visited this restaurant to satisfy my uncontrollable hunger. When I entered, they were being interviewed on TV, but I was still seated promptly. The interview was about Indian-Chinese cuisine. Despite the focus on Indian-Chinese, I ordered the chicken curry. The fact that you could get free refills of naan was very appealing to me. Personally, I wished the curry was spicier and had more depth, but even at a normal spice level, the flavors were enticing. The naan was larger than those at other similar restaurants and had a satisfying chewiness. The curry portion was generous, and even after getting extra naan, I didn't leave any behind. As I was leaving, I saw the interview team enjoying a table full of Indian-Chinese dishes, and I made a mental note to try that next time. If only I'm as hungry as I was today.

Lunch on Tuesday at 1:00 pm, I came here for the second time with a friend who was available. I ordered the "Curry Set 650 yen (1 curry, naan, salad)" and my friend ordered the "2 Curry Set 990 yen". The naan is freshly made and tastes best when hot. My friend thought it was "cheap and delicious" and wants to come back again. However, the drinks were not to our liking. The owner and staff were very passionate. It's okay to just buy the naan for around 350 yen.

Chicken curry for 650 yen. The set includes salad, naan, and curry. The taste lacks impact. It would be more delicious if it had more spices and seasonings. The chicken pieces are large, and the curry has a thick consistency, which is suitable for Japanese taste preferences.

I visited the restaurant around 12:30 on a weekday with the intention of having a lunch buffet, but it seemed to have ended. So, I opted for two curry sets instead. I chose Butter Chicken and Shrimp Curry. There was a price difference between getting the A lunch set and two curry sets, but they ended up being the same price. The spiciness level had 5 stages, and I thought it was 3 stages, so I chose 2 and regretted it. The curry was delicious. Many people were also ordering the weekday limited Biryani set.

We met at Nishi-Kasai Station for lunch and decided to visit an Indian restaurant. There were three of us, so we decided to order different curries and share. We tried mutton curry, spinach chicken, butter chicken, and the curry of the day. We asked for them to be mildly spicy, but next time we might go for a spicier option. The curries were different from your usual curry house, with chunky pieces of meat and a spicy flavor. It was delicious, but not too overpowering. The restaurant seemed to cater to a lot of foreign customers, so the flavors were authentic and stable.

I love it! Actually, the first time I ate Indian food alone was at a hidden curry set for 650 yen. The price wasn't high. The naan was too big compared to my arm, but it had a crispy texture! I love it. Eating it with curry was the best. I want to come back again next time! I want to try other varieties too.

Weekend buffet only! Main dishes include chicken, vegetables, and beans, with slight variations each day. Also available are biryani, desserts, and snacks. On this day, they had Chicken Masala, Vegetable Peshawari, and Aloo Palak! Chicken Masala is a flavorful and slightly spicy chicken curry, very authentic tasting. Vegetable Peshawari is a delicious vegetable curry with small vegetables and cheese, a specialty of Mumbai Kitchen. Aloo Palak is a curry made by blending spinach into a paste and adding potatoes, with a rich and creamy sauce. The roti is recommended here! The biryani is perfectly cooked and the staff are all friendly. I will definitely be coming back here!

I had a reason to go to Tokyo and since my usual hotel was fully booked, I decided to stay in Nishi-Kasai after searching online. Nishi-Kasai is an area I used to visit for work when I was a salesman, almost 30 years ago. There were some buildings and shops that looked familiar, and it felt really nostalgic. One thing I wanted to try while staying in Nishi-Kasai was curry. There are many Indian restaurants in the area now, probably because there are many Indian residents. Among them, I had my eye on "Mumbai Kitchen". I was excited to try Indian cuisine in Nishi-Kasai. I arrived at the restaurant just before 12 pm. It had an authentic Indian restaurant vibe. The Indian staff showed me to a table. I looked at the menu and wanted to try the lunch buffet, but usually you have to order it for the whole group. However, when my wife asked, they said it was okay to order separately. How generous of them! I had the lunch buffet (1180 yen) with chicken, vegetable, and yogurt curry, a biryani, a fried dish, salad, rice, dessert, and mango lassi. Of course, naan was also all-you-can-eat. I'm not very familiar with Indian cuisine, so I couldn't accurately convey the names of the dishes. For the 2 curry set (990 yen), I chose mutton and keema curries from 12 options, with mild spiciness as per my wife's preference. It came with rice, naan, salad, and mango lassi. The curries were all delicious. The naan from the 2 curry set, which was a whole piece, tasted better than the sliced naan from the buffet. It might have been because it was freshly baked. I planned to have seconds from the buffet, but I was too full. The couple at the next table had multiple helpings, so if you have a big appetite, I recommend the buffet. Honestly, I didn't feel much difference compared to Indian curry in Osaka, but the price felt a bit cheaper. I was happy to have delicious curry until I was full. Thank you for the meal.

I came to Nishi-Kasai for work and decided to have a late lunch here. The restaurant is located on the first floor of an old building with a slightly hidden entrance, making me hesitate a bit before entering. It was past 2 pm, but there were a few groups of customers already inside. There was even an Indian couple dining, giving it a local favorite vibe. The chef and all the staff were also Indian. The lunch set costs ¥650 (tax included), which was surprisingly cheap! It's rare to find such a price for dine-in meals in Tokyo (excluding standing soba or gyudon places). However, the curry options for the set are fixed - you can choose from chicken, vegetable, or bean curry. You also get to choose between naan or rice as your main. The default salad is a mix of shredded cabbage and green leaf with a generous amount of sesame dressing. I chose the bean (dal) curry this time, which used lentils instead of the usual chickpeas. I opted for medium spiciness, which I would rate around 3.5 out of 5 on the spiciness scale. The curry portion was generous for a lunch set, but the extra serving of basmati rice was almost comical - I could only finish about half of it. Payment is cash only. Overall, it was a lunch with amazing cost performance.

Mumbai Kitchen's lunch buffet is 1190 yen! It used to be 1090 yen, but with the current situation, a 100 yen price increase is understandable. The buffet includes 3 types of curry, a side dish, biryani, and salad. On the day I went, they had a curry called Ragunapati, which was similar to a creamy bean dish, almost like Japanese porridge. It was delicious! The curry options were bone-in chicken curry, vegetable cheese curry, and bean curry, all with classic flavors and very satisfying. The only suggestion would be to make the vegetable curry with larger pieces of ingredients. The taste was great, and the roti was delicious! Very consistent!! The biryani was also amazing!!

I went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant. It was almost full, with only about two tables available. It seemed to be popular, with about half Japanese and half foreigners. When I left, there were three groups waiting outside. At the all-you-can-eat restaurant, they asked if I wanted to start with naan. I decided not to have it this time because I tend to get full quickly with naan. Looking at the photos later, I realized I could have chosen roti instead. Also, for the regular lunch menu, you can choose mango lassi, but it wasn't available for the all-you-can-eat menu. I thought it would be a nice place to relax if it's not too crowded.

I came to Nishi-Kasai for work, and of course I had to have curry, so I decided to visit this highly rated restaurant on Tabelog. It was around 2 PM, so lunchtime had passed and we were the only customers. They had a variety of lunch set options and a wide selection of curry types. I chose the cheese naan set with butter chicken and spinach curry, and a lassi for the drink. Once we placed our order, they quickly brought out a salad, which was much appreciated on an empty stomach. By the time we finished the salad, our curry set arrived, perfect timing! The hot cheese naan paired with the hot curry was delicious! The curry had a good depth of flavor, slightly on the lighter side but not too watery, making it a satisfying and not overwhelming taste that paired well with the cheese naan. The restaurant also provided cloth hand towels which was a nice touch, and the restroom had a proper hand washing area with paper napkins available, which was great for a hands-on meal like this. The curry set with two curries, cheese naan, rice, tandoori chicken, salad, and lassi was only 1350 yen! Such great value for delicious food. I will definitely be visiting this place again.

Conclusion: I won't revisit this place. Overall, I found the menu to be too sweet. I ordered two types of curry, salad, cheese naan, tandoori, and a drink set for about 1800 yen. The salad had a lot of pre-made sesame dressing, which may be a matter of personal preference. Personally, I didn't like it. I chose lamb and keema curry with the spicy option, but both were sweet. Even though they had some spiciness, the base tasted quite sweet, so adding chili pepper didn't change the sweetness. The cheese in the cheese naan was also sweet. The tandoori chicken seemed overcooked and dry, losing the meat's flavor. I didn't touch the lassi for some reason. Overall, it was below average. Keep trying, and thank you for the meal.

I went to Nishi-Kasai, also known as Little India! There aren't many shops packed together, but there are a lot of Indian restaurants because many people of Indian descent live there. Today, I went for the weekend lunch buffet. The menu included three types of curry: Chicken Vindaloo (a chicken curry that is easy to eat without sourness), Sambar (a curry with a unique flavor but easy and delicious), and Veg Kofta (Kofta that is fluffy and delicious). All three were tasty. Naan was served at the table, along with Wada, Jira Rice, and three types of salad with coconut milk dressing. There were also Chinese-style Indian dishes on the menu. I want to try the other curries and will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!
