Roy’s Kitchen serves Indian home-cooked meals with fresh ingredients and carefully selected spices.
A cozy and welcoming atmosphere
When you enter the restaurant, you can smell the rich spices. The warm shades of the walls and the simple decor create a relaxed atmosphere.
From left to right: mutton curry, bean curry, and butter chicken curry. The accompanying mint chutney adds a delightful touch, and the basmati rice and chapati are simply exquisite.
Instead of the more commonly served naan, this restaurant offers chapati—a traditional Indian flatbread that’s lighter and made from whole wheat. The chapati’s soft, delicate texture pairs perfectly with the fragrant basmati rice, allowing the flavors of the curries to shine through. This thoughtful choice reflects the restaurant’s commitment to authenticity, offering diners a more traditional Indian experience.
Biryani made with basmati rice
Another menu highlight is the traditional Indian dish, biryani, which is made with fragrant basmati rice. The rice is infused with various spices and slowly cooked to create a rich and flavorful taste. The light, fluffy texture and distinctive aroma of basmati rice are at the heart of this dish, representing the essence of traditional Indian cuisine.
Vegetarian Manchurian, made with meat-free vegetable dumplings
This dish was inspired by the chef’s wife, who is a vegetarian. It is said that many people in India follow a vegetarian lifestyle. The chef’s passion is reflected in his effort to cater to all dietary preferences. This dish offers a rich and satisfying flavor that even non-vegetarians will enjoy.
There is a wide selection of beers and wines made in India.
From crisp, refreshing lagers to rich, full-bodied wines, each option has been carefully selected to complement the robust spices and flavors of the dishes. Whether you are in the mood for a classic Kingfisher beer or want to try a lesser-known Indian vintage, the diverse drink menu ensures there are something for every palate.
Chef Roy, his wife Ms. Rani, and Ms. Kanamori
Chef Roy, whose passion for Indian cuisine shines through in every dish. Driven by his dream of introducing authentic Indian flavors to a broader audience, Chef Roy has crafted a menu that stands out from the typical offerings found at other Indian restaurants in Tokyo. Even as someone who frequently dines at Indian restaurants, I discovered many dishes here that were new and exciting. His dedication to quality and authenticity is evident in each carefully prepared dish, from the richly spiced curries to the traditional chapati. Chef Roy’s restaurant is not just a place to eat; it’s a culinary journey that invites diners to experience the true essence of Indian cuisine. Whether you’re a long-time lover of Indian food or new to its delights, a visit to this restaurant is sure to be a memorable and enriching experience.
