シャミアナ

Nestled in the heart of Kobe, シャミアナ offers Indian cuisine with a unique twist. Situated on Yamamoto-dori in the Chuo Ward, this restaurant operates daily from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, making it a convenient spot for both lunch and dinner. Among its features, シャミアナ takes reservations, offers takeout options, and promises a moderate noise level, which adds to the dining experience without overwhelming conversation.

While the restaurant aims to provide an inviting atmosphere with waiter service, some reviews from more than a decade ago describe a place that has not raised prices in 35 years and once drew impressive crowds during Japan's economic boom. The establishment boasts a striking interior, complemented by elaborate decor including ornamental canopies for a unique visual experience synonymous with its name, which means "canopy." It's noted that despite such an intriguing backdrop, a lack of contemporary visitor feedback makes it difficult to say how the restaurant performs today.

As for the dishes, while the restaurant labels itself as Indian, past visitors have expressed mixed opinions, indicating that the food may not conform strictly to traditional Indian or Japanese curry standards. Some menu items, like their unconventional naan, left previous diners divided. Given the lack of recent reviews, potential visitors might wish to check for updates to better gauge current offerings and culinary experiences.
