Restaurant Review by K.M.
This Indian and Nepali food restaurant should be pretty obvious, yet it's easy to overlook. It's located right above Docomo in Fuga 2 when you leave the Tsurumi JR Station via the 2nd floor West exit. I passed it by almost every day on my way to school for a year and a half before finally noticing it and giving it a try. Surprisingly, the food far exceeded my expectations. This is a place everyone at Tsurumi University should know about.
Lord Buddha is a small place, and the interior is nothing special. It's quite plain, actually. However, the curries are delicious, and the garlic nan is extraordinary. For this review, I tried the Sag Chicken (￥980), a dark green spinach curry with ginger spice. It goes so well with the garlic nan (￥500). I wouldn't have this too often, though, as it's quite buttery and is certainly not diet food!
I also had a 4-piece plate of tandoori chicken (￥1,180) and a samosa (￥300 or 2 for ￥500). The tandoori chicken is tender and juicy, and the samosa (a spicy potato and vegetable fritter) is fantastic. You shouldn't leave without trying one of these.
Dinner prices are not exactly cheap for students, but two people could have one samosa each and share a curry and nan and pay less than ￥2000 total. Several lunch sets are also available (curry & nan ￥700; 2 curry set w/ nan, salad & dessert ￥950). If you like Indian food, please give this place a try!
