Ambika

If you’re in need of ghee, fresh curry leaves or Indian spices, Ambika is the place to go. This neat, clean and well-loved Indian grocery shop caters especially to vegan and vegetarians. There’s a wide range of lentils, nuts, beans, rice and frozen vegetables for sale – and at much cheaper prices and larger sizes than regular supermarkets in Tokyo. Plus, you’ll also find fresh Indian vegetables, seasonal fruit (eg, Chaunsa mangoes) and ready-to-eat curries. The helpful staff, affordable prices and quality products will keep you coming back – even though the shop is a little out of the way from the city centre. Nevertheless, Ambika has an online shop with delivery service.
