Narayan

Fresh from the tandoor, the naan at Narayan arrives pleasantly thick, airy, and chewable. Located in Senju 3-chome, Kitasenju, this Indian restaurant pairs inviting, comforting curries with its aromatic flatbreads. Guests can order plain naan or upgrade to savoury cheese naan or garlic naan; the cheese version, with its balanced saltiness and rich flavour, complements the spiced sauces nicely.

Lunch sets are especially practical at midday, coming complete with salad and a soft drink. Options include approachable chicken curry, vegetable curry, an egg curry topped with boiled egg, and keema egg curry blending spiced mince with egg. The menu also features dal bhat, a traditional Nepalese vegetarian meal set served with lentil curry, achar pickles, and special chutney, appealing to those seeking rustic, lightly spiced flavours.

Drinks can be chosen from classics like lassi and chai, while a children's set with mild chicken curry and juice accommodates family visits alongside solo diners. In the evening, the restaurant serves tandoori chicken, seekh kebabs, and other grilled meats alongside Nepalese Gorkha beer, with takeout orders also available.
