Namaskar Indian Restaurant

Good Indian food in a town like Fuji City? I hadn't any hope until a colleague's rave review sent me to Namaskar. A two minute walk from Fuji Station, this tiny place is manned by a true odd couple: a smiley Indian chef and a severe Japanese proprietor/server. The decor is cool but you may have to double over to fit through the elfish bathroom door.

The curry is damn good! And it ain't expensive either. A lunch set includes a choice of curry, salad, drink, and naan or rice for only 950 yen. Add a portion of tandoori chicken and it's just 1200 yen. Dinner is a little more expensive but there's a very nice set with rice/naan and your choice of TWO curries and salad for 1280 yen. Oh and the chai tea seems to make me high. I hope you have the same luck.

Here is the location in case you're ever close to Fuji Station and are fed up of the usual fare.
