About this place
Freshly baked naan straight from the tandoor paired with spiced curry makes for an unfailingly comforting meal. Darima, located in Ukima, Kita Ward, Tokyo, serves a broad lineup of authentic curries built around chicken, mutton, lentils, and vegetables.
The menu features varied preparations, from a classic butter chicken rounded out with tomato and butter to spinach-based paneer and slow-simmered dal tadka. Diners can adjust the heat level, making it easy to opt for a mild, mellow sweetness or a firmly spiced kick depending on their preference.
Among the breads, the cheese naan stuffed generously with melted cheese is particularly popular. Other variations include garlic naan dusted with shredded garlic and garlic cheese naan. At lunchtime, sets include saffron rice or naan refills, making it a reliable destination for a hearty midday meal.
Beyond curries, the kitchen prepares side dishes such as momos and chow mein, which lend themselves well to sharing among groups. In addition to regular table seating, a private room is available, and the restaurant accommodates both relaxed dine-in meals and takeaway orders.
