"Our favourite meal in Ishigaki! Wonderful South Indian vegan food and a lovely owner. I'm from South India and the food was authentic including the way it was served. I particularly recommend the lassi!"

"Very authentic and delicious vegan Indian food. I would definitely recommend to any visitors!"
Mikaela Dibble-Kahn
"Top quality vegetarian and vegan food in Ishigaki, brimming with South Indian (in particular Karnataka) authenticity and made with a lot of love and care. I could not have asked for a better thali. The owner Emi and her colleague were both lovely, and cats Salty and Shanthi made their own appearances. As a strict vegetarian I cannot express how incredible it was to find a place like this in an otherwise fairly remote part of the island."
