Ginza Nair's Restaurant is an Indian establishment housed in a modern building with two floors, serving an extensive range of curries prepared in Indian tradition. The space blends traditional Indian artistic elements with the contemporary design of the district.
The restaurant was founded in 1949 when A.M. Nair from Kerala established the business to support his family following India's independence. This founding marked an early presence of Indian cuisine in the urban area.
The dining room features a large painting of Krishna and Cowherd Women, reflecting the connection to Indian heritage. This artwork shapes the atmosphere and reminds visitors of the kitchen's origins.

The restaurant pioneered the practice of mixing curry components on the plate, a habit that became standard in Japanese curry establishments. This method changed how diners experience and enjoy the dish.
