Vegan Naan is a Win

All you can eat Indian lunch buffet that is vegetarian with vegan naan?? Yes!

Milan Nataraj is a local Indian chain that has a few locations on the westside. They're known for their lunch buffet (around ¥1400) which offers a variety of curries, salad, naan, and dessert. The best part really is their appropriately colored green vegan naan, something you don't see very much at a lot of Indian restaurants here in the States.

Quality of food was great on the day I visited. They prepared a curry using soy meat which was a nice touch, and even offer a vegan friendly version of their dessert upon request.

Ambiance wise - this place isn't as bright and open as their sister location up the street in Otemachi, but it still churns out an excellent array of food that I am definitely a fan of each time I return to Tokyo.

For the price and availability of vegan options, you can't neat Nataraj for a plant-based Indian meal in Tokyo.

Top notch garlic naan

It’s not easy to find vegan naan back home so this was a real treat. I ordered some chana masala to go with it which was also good. The tikka bites were a little funny in texture but the pickled onions it came with were delicious.

Is this place English friendly? Or would you need to know some simple Japanese?

Hey! We were served by a lady who I presume was the owner and she spoke English.

Clear clean and easy, homely

This is less UK style oil curry, and more home-cooked ‘welcome to our monastery’ style cooking. Been twice: never blown me away but it is super satisfying.

The perfect hide-out if you’re hot and overwhelmed

Finally had dinner here!

My friend and I enjoyed our meal- two different types of spinach curry and some tasty side dishes. Can’t wait to try more food next time.

Vegetarian/Vegan Indian Buffet!!

My daughter wanted Indian food for lunch and despite most Indian being pretty easy for us to find vegetarian options, we thought we’d try this place out because it had a vegetarian buffet. It is located close to the station and easily marked up on the third floor. Our unlimited (for 90-minutes) buffet had 4-curry options, naan, rice, salad, and rice pudding for ¥1280. It was fantastic. If you’re looking for spicy, this isn’t your place (even the one labeled very spicy was decidedly not), but it was all very flavorful. My favorite was the daal. We are as much as we could and plan to come back.

Pros: Fast, Delicious, Great deal

Good vegan options but whoa!!! Spicy as

Everything was super spicy, but I chose option 1 of “spicy”. Maybe should have stuck with default options.
Samosa was good. Naan being vegan was nice

Tasty but.. where’s the spice kick?

Friendly staff, quick service, lovely place and English menu. You can easily book online. The food was pretty tasty. The vegan naan was great!

Cons: rather expensive, not spicy (despite ordering the theoretically spiciest option on the menu), small portions.

Great place

Good food, fast and pleasant service, though I felt that it missed that special something as well as being slightly expensive, hence four stars.

¥2500-3500

Well labelled all-vegetarian place with vegan options

It's not too far away from Shibuya station. The staff is very friendly and they have an English menu if needed.

Pros: Many options, Clearly labelled, English menu available

Great lunch buffet

They have a nice lunch buffet if you’re into Indian food. I’m super happy that they label the vegan food very clearly. The dessert was not vegan but it even had a sign which said that you could ask for a vegan dessert. Would recommend going here.

Amazing

The tiny detail on menu shows the ingredients like if the dish is vegan or if it has milk, for instance #Veganuary

Pros: Vegan options , Very clean

Cons: You can't choose the spicy level, Poor service

Not Normally a Fan of Indian Food, But...

...this place exceeded all of my expectations. Absolutely delicious options on a clearly labeled menu. The two appetizers (nataraj special and vegetable pakora), two mains (aloo gobi and nataraj palak), turmeric rice, and (vegan!) garlic naan we ordered were all excellent. What really topped my experience, though, was the soy milk mango lassi. I’m going to dream about that drink.

Pros: Delicious, delicious Indian food, Clearly labeled menu with a ton of options, Soy milk lassi!

Cons: They took my lassi when I still had a sip left 😢

Healthy Indian Food & Vegan Friendly Menu

The famous Indian curry restaurant in Shibuya. They offer vegan and vegetarian menus and it’s clearly labeled what’s inside in the menu. Also, they have English menu! I tried all you can eat during lunch time and they nicely explain what’s vegan or vegetarian meals.

Cakes not what they used to be

They changed the recipes for their cakes. The carrot cake is not longer like it was before. It's quite soggy and moist and they've become really stingy with the amount of cream/ice cream that comes with it. What used to be closer to a scoop is now a tea spoon. I struggled to finish it.

Their chai latte is good tho. I would do dessert elsewhere. Im sure their food is a-okay.

Pros: vegan desserts

Delicious and good value

1380 yen (1520 tax included) per person for a yummy buffet with vegan naan, rice, 4 curries, and some salads and sides. Lots of seating and all you can eat! All vegetarian and vegan options are clearly marked. Also an a la carte menu if you prefer.

Pros: All vegetarian, All you can eat, Good value

Fantastic food

So good I came back a second time while I was on holiday in Japan. The 'naan burger' had quite possibly the best tasting mock meat I've ever had. The lassi was also very tasty and refreshing.

Pros: Excellent food
