Vegetarian curry buffet near Shibuya station! Surprising cost of only 1000yen for all-you-can eat lunch with a free komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) vegan naan

Nataraj is an Indian vegetarian restaurant that has branches mainly across Tokyo. They offer beautiful dishes created with a wisdom of Ayurveda with an abundant of fresh vegetables grown on their own farm. These dishes are very delicious and healthy, prepared with high quality ingredients. Nataraj also attracts non-vegetarian customers as their delightful food can restore the balance of body and mind. The main restaurant is located in Ogikubo, and they have branches in Ginza and Omotesando in Tokyo and Tateshina in Nagano prefecture. Milan Nataraj is a 3-min walk from Shibuya station, located on the third floor of a building.

Nataraj accomodates a variety of needs for vegans, oriental vegans, and lacto-vegetarians avoiding meat yet consuming dairy products which are quite common in India. They also highly value the customer’s health and wellness, therefore do not use any artificial seasonings, preservatives, artificial colorings, and genetically modified food. There are a wide selection of beautiful vegetarian curries that are made with plant-based ingredients such as beans and soymeat combined with spices and organic vegetables. As they are very particular about the quality of sugars and oils, you will notice the detoxifying effects that make your body feel healthier and lighter, instead of feeling heavy and greasy in your stomach that can be caused by typical Indian food.

My recommendation is definitely the lunch curry buffet which is a great deal. This buffet includes 4 different types of daily curry specials, natural yeast nann, komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) nann, turmeric rice, salads, and desserts that you can help yourself to as much as you like for 90 minutes.

4 types of “curries of the day”

On the day of interview, there were mung bean curry, curry with turnips, potatoes, and cabbage, dal curry, and pumpkin curry. Pumpkin curry is mild curry cooked with milk. Turnips, cabbage, and potatoes that are grown on their own farm, this curry has a lot of flavors like stew with a hint of ginger. Mung bean curry is spicy curry with a different texture to dal curry. Although they are all categorised as vegetable curries, each curry is all quite different in flavour and how hot it is, making Nataraj very special.

Although the lunch buffet is very reasonable, this doesn’t mean that they compromise on the quality of food like it can be a typical case at many all-you-can-eat type of restaurants. Nataraj carefully selects the ingredients such as domestically-grown wheat and natural oil with no additives. These curries are cooked with lots of roughly-cut fresh vegetables which are very satisfying, also making them enjoyable for male customers.

Nataraj also offers seasonal special menus prepared with fresh vegetables grown on their own farm, such as “Spinach curry gourmet fair” or “Pumpkin curry gourmet fair”.

A restaurant practicing “HAVO” naturally and harmoniously

Although there are fewer vegetarians in Japan compared to US or European countries, most customers coming to Nataraj are Japanese and they come here because the food is simply delicious. This means that vegetarians and non-vegetarians are also satisfied for the food in Nataraj. The taste is elegant, not overly spicy or sweet, and the balance between staple food, main dishes, and side dishes is great, which can be a reason that Nataraj is widely accepted by Japanese people.
The Japan Halal Business Association is promoting the development of HAVO, a product that combines halal, allergy-friendly, vegetarians, and organics. The concept is to expand the market by incorporating adjacent fields and aim for developing a menu that can be more accessible to more people.
Nataraj naturally practices this concept because of the Indian culture and philosophy. In India, there are a large population of vegetarians in the first place, and there are no dishes prepared with alcohol, so there are already natural halal & vegetarian-friendly menus to start with.
In addition, they accomodate the needs of allergy-friendly menus, such as organic vegetables grown on their own farm and gluten-free, making Natraj a pioneer of food diversity. The well-organised menu with pictograms gives you a good understanding of menu regarding whether it is vegan-friendly or allergy-friendly such as being free from wheat, eggs, nuts, and dairy. This ensures that customers enjoy their food feeling at ease.

You will feel healthier after eating! Beautiful organic & additive-free menus prepared with fresh vegetables from thier own farm that are great for your body and mind

Nataraj has an unwavering concept of “creating healthy vegetable dishes that make your body happy and leave you feeling comfortable after eating, fulfilling body and mind.” Unlike the restaurants simply offering vegetalian menus, it’s their hospitality that makes Nataraj special, being very particular about the ingredients such as natural yeast nann made of domestically-grown wheat, fresh vegetables grown on thier own farm and additive-free oil, wishing customer’s health and wellness.

As the concept suggests, there are certain people that feel the detoxifying effects such as feeling the comfortable warmth afterwards. I was one of them. I am not stoic vegetarian, but I have been choosing vegetarian/vegan options as I have not been founding meat as delicious for a while. I feel that vegetarian dishes are beneficial for my body, making me feel better. Although there is much smaller population of vegetarian in Japan compared to the Western countries, I think there might be quite a few people like me who notice the benefits of plant-based diet.

Each Nataraj restaurant has a different atmosphere. Nataraji Shibuya branch is very bright and spacious decorated with Chandelier and marble tables, adding a luxury touch.
