Minami Indian Nandori

Located at the far reaches of Tokyo, this cozy izakaya, though a bit worn, serves top-notch South Indian cuisine. Everything is made fresh, with no pre-prepared dishes. The omakase course for JPY 3,000 features exquisite dishes that you can only enjoy here, coming one after another. There's no excessive use of oil, and the flavors are perfectly balanced without relying on spiciness. The dishes are light and gentle, leaving you without thirst after the meal, and your stomach will be happily satisfied.

Moreover, the alcohol selection, mostly priced around JPY 500 per drink, will impress even the most discerning spirits enthusiasts, offering a bar-like experience. Even the homemade ginger ale is remarkable. The restaurant has limited operating days, so be sure to check their website in advance. With only a few seats available, it can be a bit of a challenge. On Wednesdays, they serve only vegetarian dishes. On rainy weekdays, there are fewer customers, so you might get the chance to enjoy the company of the knowledgeable and friendly owner, Tomihisa Inagaki, who loves Indian cuisine.
