Namaste Nippon Nepalese-Indian Restaurant and its bright colors have been standing along the Kitakaido Street in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City. It is a 10 minutes walk from Cenova Department Store, and had often been recommended to me by friends. I took advantage of the free time at lunch the other day to pay them a belated visit.<\/p>\n
Service:<\/strong> Very friendly, polite and smiling <\/a> <\/a>Lunch time is particularly busy and they do have a hefty menu<\/p>\n One can choose from set menus or single dishes. I already know I\u2019ll have to plan a few more visits! A good idea, since they serve a great variety of drinks including Shizuoka sake, would have to go there for a drink in the evening and eat their food as snacks.<\/p>\n <\/a>I chose the vegetarian set lunch which should give me a good idea of the chefs\u2019 skills. It includes a lot!<\/p>\n <\/a>But first of all I had to taste a \u201cNepal Ice\u201d beer<\/p>\n <\/a>Enormous potato samosa coming fresh and hot on your plate with vegetable salad<\/p>\n <\/a>It would be enough as a great snack with a nice beer in the evenings<\/p>\n <\/a>The Vegetarian Lunch Plate, which includes the aforementioned samosa and a drink<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You can choose 2 out of 3 curries, I opted for the above \u201cParapanilu\u201d spinach and cottage cheese curry<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a>Turmeric rice, one can opt for plain rice too<\/p>\n <\/a>\u201cAchar\u201d home-made Nepalese vegetable pickles, very tasty!<\/p>\n <\/a>\u201cPapado\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a>And a great freshly baked naan, they bake many kinds of naan, chapati and so on<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nFacilities & Equipment:<\/strong> Very clean overall. Spacious washroom
\nPrices:<\/strong> Reasonable
\nStrong points:<\/strong> A great blend of Indian and Nepalese cuisines. More than sufficient drinks list. Vegetarian set or single dishes available. Very generous portions!<\/p>\n
\nThe owner and the staff all hail from Nepal but the chefs graduated from a cooking school in India, allowing them to combine the two cuisines with even a little Japanese twist at times.<\/p>\n
\nDahl\/beans curry, the third option was \u201cAlparaku\u201d Potato and Cottage Cheese<\/p>\n
