Indian businesses and services in Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto's Indian restaurants are mostly in the grid of downtown streets rather than near the temples. Nakagyo Ward, around Karasuma, Sanjo, Nishikikoji and Kawaramachi, holds more than a third of this list, including a vegan and vegetarian kitchen and a Nepali one that lists vegetarian dishes. Shimogyo Ward, between Shijo and Kyoto Station, has several more, and Kamigyo Ward to the north has three.

Further out, Fushimi Ward has a small run in Fukakusa, along the Keihan and JR Nara lines south of the centre, and Sakyo Ward has places in Kitashirakawa, Ichijoji and Iwakura in the student districts of the north-east. Names that point to Nepal, such as Everest, Annapurna, Pokhara and Yak & Yeti, are common here, as they are in curry houses across Japan. Of those that publish their hours, most serve lunch and then dinner until 22:00 or later. Takatsuki and Ibaraki, on the line between Kyoto and Osaka, have pages of their own.
