Namaste Q Karuizawa
(ナマステQ軽井沢)
Varieties of Curry
The menu features two distinct styles of curry: in the north, people eat naan with utensils, while in the south, rice is enjoyed by hand. There are also many authentic Pakistani staff members who speak Japanese fluently. On this day, I had a lovely dinner gathering with friends, enjoying a generous spread including regular naan, cheese naan, chicken curry, salad, and samosas, along with some drinks.
Completely Full
This is a hearty lunch featuring two types of curry, naan, lassi, salad, and tandoori chicken. It also includes a slice of cheese naan for takeout, and the additional lassi sour I ordered was delicious.
Great for dinner too
We decided to have a curry dinner for our gathering. We ordered an assortment of reasonably priced dishes, and I tried Indian wine for the first time along with Lassi Sour. The white wine was refreshing while the red was rich and both were delicious.
We also ordered various types of naan (garlic, cheese, and plain), which allowed us to compare the flavors.
The naan is incredibly large
This year, my first visit to the restaurant after a long time was delightful, with familiar staff creating a lively and clean atmosphere.
Today's special curry featured a unique spinach and chicken combination.
We enjoyed lassi and naan, and I also ordered a cheese naan to take home.
I had a slice of it in the restaurant, and it paired wonderfully with the tandoori chicken—absolutely delicious!
First Visit of the Year
The delicious curry and naan continue to impress. They opened in February this year. The friendly staff creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cheese naan is particularly popular. That day, I ordered the D Lunch Set, which lets you choose two types of curry. I selected the daily special spinach curry and chicken curry along with butter curry. I also enjoyed some tandoori chicken and left feeling completely satisfied. On my way out, I picked up some cheese naan to take home, adding to my enjoyment.
Authentic Curry & Naan After a Long Time
I heard that Namaste Q Karuizawa will be open until November 27 for the winter season, so I decided to visit this place after a long time. Welcomed by cheerful staff, I enjoyed the delicious curry from the D Lunch set. Although the price has increased by 100 JPY, the taste remains exceptional. I ordered a piece of cheese naan to take home (after having a slice) and savored a lassi while reminiscing about the end of this season. I look forward to coming back next year.
Authentic Indian Cuisine
There are three curry shops on the old road in Karuizawa, making it hard to choose due to different tastes, but I believe this one suits my palate best and is the most delicious.
The D Lunch is a great deal, including tandoori chicken, naan, two types of curry, a drink, and salad.
I also appreciate that the cheese naan is available for take away.
Affordable Ethnic Cuisine
Tonight, I gathered with friends to share a variety of dishes. We enjoyed tandoori shrimp, momo, cheese naan, plain naan, and curry. The cheese naan was filled with melted cheese that had a subtle sweetness, making it particularly delicious. As we interacted with the lively staff, we sipped on lassi sour and the evening passed by pleasantly.

After visiting Kumano Kodo Shrine at Usui Pass, I made my way around town to visit local shrines and churches (St. Paul, Sho Chapel, Jinguji, Suwa Shrine). Suddenly craving curry and naan, I decided to revisit a lively and clean restaurant I hadn't been to in a while. I ordered the D Lunch with Tandoori Chicken, which came with a drink, and a Lassi Sour. Everything was quite filling. (Naan used to be available for free refills, but now it costs JPY 200.)
