On the surface, the curries here look simple with the bare minimum of ingredients, but don’t let that fool you. The dishes here pack a good flavor and are quite delicious. The soup here goes well with the serving of rice that comes with it. Based on Indian curries, as the name suggests, Delhi has a dozen or so curries to choose from. One drawback however is that the menu is written only in Japanese and has no pictures. If are a traveller, it is recommended that you know some Japanese or have a way to translate the menu if you wish to dine here. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.
