About this place
Freshly baked naan arrives at the table with an appetizing puff and blistered, fragrant edges. At Sara Restaurant in Nerima's Minami-Oizumi neighborhood, curry sets pair these breads with classic choices such as chicken, mutton, or vegetable gravies, with heat levels adjusted to taste. The cheese naan, stuffed generously with molten cheese, offers a rich bite that matches especially well with mildly sweet butter chicken curry.
For a heartier meal, the spiced chicken biryani stands out. Featuring bone-in chicken, this aromatic rice plate has become a house staple alongside the curries. The menu also covers a broad selection of tandoor-cooked skewers and meat plates, including tandoori chicken, seekh kebabs, and Nepalese steamed momo dumplings.
Those lingering for dessert or an afternoon pause can try sweet items such as fried ice cream or round cheese balls. Drinks like rich mango lassi and refreshing banana lassi round out the meal, providing a pleasant sweet finish after the spices.
Open for both lunch and dinner, the dining room offers a mix of table and counter seating. Takeout is also supported, making the restaurant a handy choice for a quick lunch or an unhurried dinner brought home.
