An authentic Indian restaurant on the third floor of Omotesando Hills, bringing rich curries and tandoori dishes to central Tokyo.
Mother India brings the vibrant, aromatic flavours of the subcontinent to the sophisticated surroundings of Omotesando Hills. Located on the third floor of the main building, this well-established Indian restaurant serves a comprehensive menu of curries, tandoori specialities and biryanis prepared by chefs with deep roots in North Indian cooking. The naan bread, baked fresh in a traditional tandoor, is deservedly popular and pairs beautifully with the rich, spice-laden curries.The menu spans a broad range of regional Indian dishes, from creamy butter chicken and lamb rogan josh to lighter vegetarian options such as palak paneer and dal makhani. A lunch set offering excellent value is available on weekdays, making it a favourite with local office workers as well as tourists exploring Omotesando. The drink menu includes Indian beers, lassi and a concise wine selection that complements the food without overwhelming it.
Omotesando Hills is a landmark building on the avenue, easily reached from Omotesando Station on the Ginza, Chiyoda and Hanzomon lines. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, suitable for both casual meals and slightly more formal occasions. Booking ahead is sensible for Friday and Saturday evenings.

I have eaten in a lot in Indian restaurants here in Tokyo and Mother India is just about one of the best I feel! The curries were well made and spiced just right, not too spicy, not bland. And the Naan was really special, nice and crispy …

Coming from a young Indian person, this was honestly so good. The cheese naan was phenomenal, actually so so so good. This was recommended by a friend who visited Japan earlier in the year, we did zero research but were blown away. Everything else was perfect!

Lovely spot in Omotesando. Was having cravings for Indian food and stumbled upon this in google. Curry was great! Adjusted to the Japanese pallet so you might find it sweet + pro tip, if you want it spicy you might have to get the spiciest …
