Nice find for Indian food. Not sure why it’s rated 4, the food is yummy and high on quality. Had masala dosa and dahi vada, coffee. All were good. The restaurant played Harris songs, haha made the atmosphere better. Pure vegetarian options exist, so bliss for the veggies out there craving for Indian food.

This is a local favorite. Everyone tells me how great it is. Pink interior. Pink chairs. Music playing. Friendly people. It's the second time I visited. Last time, there was one other group here. This time, there's was nobody else. But lots of staff, four guys, quietly talking. My understanding is that it's much busier at lunch time. And as to be expected, the food is spicy. Even if you order it mild, it will be spicy by American white guy standards. I ordered the biryani thali special with chicken Chettinand curry, Lamb Madras Curry, and Raita. It was spicy. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked and super flavorful. It's got that authentic fragrant and nutty spiced flavor. And it's not just surface-coated, the seasoning is cooked deep into the rice. Of course, there are big chicken chunks--meaty and tender. The chicken curry had a little bit of sweetness, and it was silky and creamy. There's a savory toasted cumin and turmeric flavor, some anise and allspice peaking through the heavy spice. The lamb Madras Curry is a salty tomato base. Spicy. But also fragrant with cardamom and coriander. It has a deep meaty flavor and coats the tongue in rich lamb fat. There are lots of braised onions and other fine diced aromatic veggies in the sauce, adding to the slow-braised complexity. Overall, this place is too spicy for me. I have to cover everything with the Raita to avoid heartburn. But that says more about me than the food here. It's all delicious and I'm mostly disappointed that I can't continue to taste this amazing flavors with total abandon. It you can handle the spice, definitely give it a try. It's very high quality food. I'll definitely be back.

We really needed something w spice during our trip to Japan and this restaurant delivered. Naan was excellent , the chicken curry was great, we got the paneer tikka masala and it was definitely tasty and more for a South Indian palate. Dosa was good; I thought the masala was OK and quantity was little. Sambhar was OK but the chutneys were good.

Excellent food and friendly staff at Sri Balaji near Naka Meguro. Lunch buffet always has 3-4 choices, had a really good keema curry as well as chicken curry plus a vegetable dish with real flavour unlike you often find elsewhere. In addition, help yourself to the chicken tikka which was great. Naan and rice available as much as you want, then a nice touch is the chai and dessert. Well worth a visit, a level higher than most Indian restaurants and especially the buffet. (Tuesday and Thursday buffet is veg and seafood curry selection)

Quite an authentic Indian restaurant serving huge dosas. Not many places in Tokyo serve dosa especially in a proper size, so with the try. The curries were quite spicy for me.
