Roopali

Indian food in Hiroshima is synonymous with Roopali. Given its colourful interiors that are quintessentially ‘desi,’ and delectable food that transports you to the most diverse country in the world, this restaurant is a must visit. Moreover, its green, yellow and red exterior is equally inviting, sometimes reminding you of the joys of being home. Popular among locals and travellers in equal measures, especially for its Tandoori Chicken and generous Thalis, this eatery seems to get everything right. The prices of the fare served at Roopali are pretty reasonable when compared to Indian restaurants in cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, and the location is convenient as it is very close to the train station.
Roopali’s gigantic naans might seem a tad bit intimidating, but considering their soft, buttery, and melt-in-the-mouth texture, it is quite easy to polish off the entire bread in one go. However, as far as the portions of the curries are concerned, they are pretty small, as expected of most restaurants in Japan. For all the vegans and vegetarians travelling around the country, this is a great place to come to as meat-free options are in plenty. The presence of friendly Hindi and English speaking staff is a major plus. The drinks menu is basic, and there’s free WiFi for all the digital natives.
