Nan curry

Tear into a warm, chewy naan and dip it into steaming, spice-scented curry: it is a simple pleasure that makes for a satisfying meal. Near the Otakibashi intersection in Takadanobaba 3-chome, Nan curry is a casual Indian restaurant where naan and curry are served without ceremony.

A wide choice of curries, from meat and seafood to vegetables

The curry menu has plenty of variety. Chicken options include slowly simmered chicken butter, with its smooth texture, as well as chicken saag, chicken korma and chicken keema matar. For a bolder spice profile, there are mutton curries such as mutton masala and dal mutton masala, alongside seafood dishes including prawn butter and prawn saag. Vegetable choices are just as varied, from dal, with its mellow depth, to paneer butter masala made with house-made cheese and palak paneer, which combines spinach and cheese.

Naan, chapati and sides offer plenty to choose from

There is also a tempting range of breads. Along with aromatic plain naan, cheese naan is generously filled with rich cheese and makes a substantial bite on its own or alongside curry. Other options include sweet honey naan, fragrant garlic naan and kabuli naan filled with nuts and dried fruit, as well as simple whole-wheat chapati and saffron rice. A wide selection of small plates includes tandoori chicken, seekh kebab and momo, steamed dumplings. They also suit a relaxed evening meal with a Kingfisher or Nepal Ice beer.

For lunch, there are convenient set meals, and takeaway is available too. Whether you are stopping in for a quick meal on your own or sharing curry and naan over an informal dinner, Nan curry is a dependable option for everyday dining.
