Erick South

This South Indian restaurant provides the ultimate experience that will make you feel like you're in the coconut-tree fields of southern India, with South Indian music blasting from the speakers and an unlimited supply of spicy chutney and podi condiments up for grabs. They’re famous for their excellent biryani: a mixed rice and vegetables dish. Free refills of rice are offered at Erick South — what a way to celebrate the generous South Indian spirit. On top of the famous biryani, this restaurant also has more than six kinds of curry. Also in true South Indian spirit, where many people are vegetarian for religious reasons, dishes that are vegetarian-friendly are on the menu too. What's more, the limited lunch menu, as well as limited seasonal menu, consistently changes depending on the time of year. With multiple Indian restaurants opening up in Japan, nothing beats the authenticity found at Erick South. Affordable, with fast service and a relaxing environment, there's no reason this restaurant shouldn't be on your list.
