Katchal Batchal
One of the top-rated Indian restaurants on Tabelog nationwide. A small shop on the 2nd floor of a building 2 minutes from Shin-Otsuka Station, yet it boasts an overwhelming Tabelog score of 3.90 with 1,600+ reviews. Chef Tamura Shuji trained in India and evolved his spice cuisine uniquely suited for Japanese palates, with some saying it's 'better than the real thing'. The hidden gem representing Otsuka.
Reviews say 'Never been so moved by Indian food before', 'The spice usage is on another level; works for Japanese precisely because it's a Japanese chef', 'Pricey but absolutely worth it'. Selected for Top 100 every year.
