The rice had a sticky consistency, similar to Japanese rice, but was yellow due to the turmeric seasoning. The portions were generous and very filling. However, I found the meal to be average and not particularly special, tasting similar to the curry I make at home. Overall, the meal was good value for 1400 yen, but I wouldn't choose to revisit this restaurant.

This Indian place was a welcome change and great for me as a veggie with a meat allergy (Indian people mostly brilliant with food separation and hygiene), and for my partner who eats everything. We each had a thali, mine vegetarian. We both asked for hot and very hot for our two curries, as coming from Yorkshire, UK where we have large South Asian migrant communities and fantastic spicy food options. We weren’t disappointed. Substantial meal set, so much flavour, and heat matched to the level we’d asked for. So, trust in their heat scale when you order! Friendly staff, good beer, amazing lassi, would highly recommend for anyone seeking a flavour hit whilst visiting Hiroshima. Updated from previous review on 2023-06-19

The staff are easily able to point out the vegan options on the menu, and everything we tried was delicious. We got the roti (similar to naan but vegan), two curries, the vegetable pakoras, and turmeric rice. We were downtrodden after trying two restaurants that were both too busy and had one hour wait times (should have made reservations, but neither of us have an active phone number to call on) so were not in the best mind frame to fairly judge a place. However, our moods were totally lifted by the amazing food. Would give five stars if I could
