WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Opened in 2006 by a chef who trained in the Bengal region of India itself, this is the only dedicated Bengali restaurant in Japan.
インド・ベンガル地方で実際に料理を学んだ店主が2006年に開いた、日本唯一のベンガル料理専門店。
The menu faithfully recreates dishes unavailable at any other Indian restaurant in the country — including a curry made with ilish (hilsa fish) — with most items priced between 1,000 and 3,000 yen, a value that feels almost impossible given the rarity of what is on the plate.
イリシュ（ヒルサ魚）のカレーをはじめ、他の「インド料理店」では決して食べられない現地の味を1,000〜3,000円で体験できるその唯一性は、カレーマニアや食通の間で伝説的な存在感を放っている。
A five-time recipient of the Tabelog Asian and Ethnic TOKYO 100 Restaurants award, Puja has become essential dining for curry enthusiasts and food connoisseurs, and popular items regularly sell out before the evening is over.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedJapan's only dedicated Bengali restaurant, hidden in a basement in a residential area near Machiya. The owner trained in West Bengal and maintains a strict policy: no naan, no North Indian curry. Tabelog Asian Cuisine TOKYO 100 winner for 5 consecutive years. Google 4.4. Known to foodies as 'the most famous Bengali restaurant in Japan.'
A flavor available nowhere else in Japan. The authentic hilsa fish curry is revelatory. Foodies travel from across Tokyo specifically for this experience. The Bengali yogurt dessert 'Mishti Doi' is also a must-try.
