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.
