4.8 / 5.0(202 reviews)

Couldn't have asked for a better meal eating here. The portions are extraordinary. Truly this is naan for giants. It was so fluffy and tasty. To any fan of Indian food visiting or staying in Kyoto, this is a place worth visiting After visiting the Golden Palace we first lined up at this Ramen joint but the line was insanely long. We looked again and just across the street and up the road about 1 minute was this gem. It appeared to be family owned, the service was quick, and the food was ridiculously delicious! Biggest cheese naan I’ve ever seen! So, yeah. Skip the ramen. Head up to this joint and you won’t be disappointed! This indo-Nepali restaurant is located very close to Kinkakuji temple. Their Nepali thali and dal bhaat is recommended. Taste is good however services need more attention. Overall it is a good one. Pocket pinch is ¥1000 to ¥2000 for a full meal.

Absolutely amazing experience at Kyoto Dining Restaurant! The food was outstanding — the curries were rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. What really stood out was the huge naan — fresh, fluffy, and easily the biggest we've ever seen! The service was lovely too — friendly, welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. We had a full meal for four people, including drinks, and the total bill came to just 4000 yen. Unbelievable value for such quality and portion size! Highly recommended if you're looking for delicious food, great service, and an unbeatable deal in Kyoto.

We visited for dinner on a quiet Friday night, the staff were very attentive and helpful with the menu. The smell as soon as you walked in was fantastic. We ordered an array of tandoori meat, curries and breads and it was all delicious. Definitely recommend
