01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Just a short walk from Numabukuro Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line, Global Kitchen offers an easygoing neighbourhood setting for spiced dining and oven-fresh flatbreads. The naan arrives at the table noticeably large and hot from the tandoor. Alongside standard breads, the kitchen bakes cheese-stuffed versions, aromatic garlic naan, and playful variations like matcha cheese naan or spicy cod roe (mentaiko) cheese naan.
The curry selection gives plenty of room to roam, from the sweet, rounded richness of butter chicken to vibrant spinach-based saag chicken, saag mutton, and tenderly simmered mutton curry. Heat levels can be tailored to taste, catering equally to fiery cravings and mild preferences. At lunchtime, wallet-friendly sets pair a choice of curry with naan or saffron rice, salad, and a drink, making for an effortless midday stop.
The menu also branches beyond classic Indian curries into wider Asian staples, including chicken biryani served with refreshing raita, gapao rice, and pad Thai. Cafe-style fruit-topped acai bowls and draft beer alongside tandoori chicken further broaden the appeal.
With a calm, approachable interior, the dining room suits solo guests just as well as small groups, while takeout is also available. Cashless payments including PayPay, Rakuten Pay, and major credit cards add everyday convenience.
