Amazing food and service

I stayed in Roppongi, Tokyo for two months for an official trip. Being a vegetarian, my biggest worry before I started for Tokyo was food. However, once I landed in Tokyo, my office colleagues. staying in the same service apartment wherein I was put up, took me to DownTown B's, an Indian restaurant (pretty close to the service apartment). And this place turned out to be my go-to place as far as my food requirements were concerned for the next 8 weeks.

It is strategically located, opposite to Roppongi Itchome metro station (West Gate Exit). It seems like a small restaurant from the outside. However, during subsequent weeks in Tokyo, I realized that the notion that only bigger fine dine restaurants serve good food (predominantly the thought process that we have back in India) does not hold true in Tokyo. I noticed many small food joints doing great business, with steady inflow of customers. Another reason for the smaller dimensions could also be the high real estate value, especially in Roppongi, which is one amongst the premium localities in Tokyo.

Now coming to food, the most important aspect, when you visit any restaurant. They ensure that food is prepared as per your taste requirements. I generally prefer less spicy or oily food, which was provided by them. You get a feel of having home-made food here. They serve freshly made chapatis, which is not the case with most other Indian restaurants in Tokyo, who serve Nan (cooked with maida and eggs). The staff is very courteous. A special mention for Boney, the owner of the place, who goes the extra mile to make to you feel comfortable every time you visit this place. That explains why it is frequently visited, not just by Indians (visiting from India or US) but also by many Europeans and local Japanese. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for good Indian food in Tokyo.

Best Indian Vegetarian

Great little Indian joint to have freshly made vegetarian food in warm homelike environment. As a vegetarian my colleagues took me to this little gem in downtown Roppongi and I am happy they were exactly what I was looking for. The staffs and the owner are really nice and went out of their way to serve me tailored made food. Do not get put off by the size ... request them for what you are looking for and you will get great value for your money .

Indian is Best for Vegetarian / Vegan

Being a vegetarian Indian accommompanied by a vegan Canadian friend we found Downtown B’s on Happy cow close to our hotel in Roppongi. Small & very homely kitchen we could taste freshness and self made food to suit our restrictions. Great kitchen, humble staff and awesome food is what we got from Bonnie &. his team. The breads and chickpeas with freshly made spinach and potato tasted awesome and healthy. Once you explain to them well you will served great food. Prices are normal... reasonable and staffs flexible.
A big thank you !!!

Pros: Fresh food , Great staffs , Home kitchen

Cons: Small place

* Want to give 5 stars but the app will only let me give 4 stars as the restaurant is not fully Vegan *

Great Indian Vegetarian and Vegan food

Small nice little place greatly located in Roppongi 3 near Izumi garden Grand tower. Unlike many other places this place is unique and proper vegetarian, vegan or gluten free with some other dietary restrictions menu can be made after speaking to the staffs. Bonnie does great job to understand his visitors and serves them correct food. As a vegetarian have been eating here everyday for two months during my 3 months stay in Tokyo. Food is fresh and tasty and very vibrant kitchen !!

Pros: I don’t eat eggs. Good menu for vegetarians., Owner is cooperating and accommodative., Is open everyday till late night.

Cons: Place is compact; 16 seater place.

Friendly environment!

What a lovely, cozy place! There are heaps of vegetarian options available and some vegan! The owner was very kind and friendly and told us about how he wanted to start extending his menu in the future to accomodate more dietary requirements. Food was delicious and prompt. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely recommend this place!

Delicious Indian food

Go to this place! Tell the very nice owner you are vegan, eat all of the food. Every time I go, I get the bhindi with rice, which is delicious. Be prepared to wait because the food is made fresh. But sooo good.
