Mother Palace is my favorite Kichijoji restaurant
Mother Palace is my favorite Indian restaurant in Kichijoji. The food is good and the prices reasonable. I’ve been there many times and love it. If you are ever in the area, you should pop in.
Why is it my favorite Kichojoji restaurant?
The staff are friendly and attentive. They guide you through the menu and offer recommendations. I like them as they seem to be great people.
The restaurant is beautiful and colorful. I found the ceiling interesting, though! Clouds cover it. And everything was clean and polished. Indian music plays quietly in the background.
Being in the basement eliminates most outside noises which I appreciated. Most of its clientele probably enjoy that too.
I haven’t eaten from their menu extensively. But I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. Usually, I go for lunch.
Their deals for the noon crowd are reasonable. This isn’t an expensive shop. Most importantly, you’ll leave full.
My most often ordered item is chicken curry and mango lassi. They are delicious. You can choose nan or rice. Soup and salad come with them.
Mother’s Kitchen is on SunRoad. That puts it in the middle of Kichijoji. Everything is near.

Conclusion
Mother Palace isn’t crowded at lunchtime. Well, not in my experience. That might be because it is in the basement. Don’t let that put you off. Head downstairs and enjoy.
Anyway, I like the food and the staff. Both are equally good. And I can’t complain about the prices. They are very reasonable. Another reason why I like it is because it is in Kichijoji. After lunch, you could do street photography or head to Inokashira Park.
I need to go to Mother Palace at night. It would be good to see what it’s like in the evening. I’ll let you know when that happens. Leave comments and questions below.
