Ask five different people what their favourite Indian restaurant in Okinawa is and you’d probably get five different answers. A-Danny is another contender on an island where curries, naan, and Tandoori chicken abound.

A Danny Meal

Located on a backstreet off of Kokusai-dori, A-Danny offers plenty of options for all your curry cravings, including vegetarian curry options. My heart belongs to the Butter Chicken Curry, though I’ve also been known to enjoy the Dal Makhni. The menu is in both Japanese and English and you get to adjust the spiciness factor to your own personal preferences.

The menu is fairly extensive, with numerous sets to choose from, for the lone diner or for larger groups. I tend to choose Dinner Set-A, which comes with the curry of your choice, naan, rice, and salad, for 1,480 yen. The naan is enormous and delicious and you will leave very, very full. This is the smallest set; other options add in kebabs, chicken, lamb… choose the set that best suits your tastes! The larger sets are perfect for groups that want to sample what A-Danny’s has to offer.

A-Danny also has a dinner buffet option (or “viking” as the Japanese call it). For 90 minutes, you can choose from the curries, soups, salads, and other Indian specialties that are laid out. Prices vary for men (1,980 yen), women (1,480 yen), and children (780 yen). The price increases by 500 yen if you include all-you-can-drink.

I have tried many different Indian restaurants around Okinawa, but A-Danny will always be my number one choice when the cravings for garlic naan and a mango lassi cannot be ignored.

A Danny Alley

A-Danny is located on the second floor. If you are walking towards Kencho-mae monorail station, you will turn down a street on your right. It is immediately after a souvenir shop and it is not a street that cars can turn onto from Kokusai. A-Danny is on the right side of this road. I really recommend checking out the google map before heading here, as it can be a little tricky to find.

Naha, Okinawa Prefecture 900-0015, Japan

I would park in your usual Kokusai-dori parking spot and walk, as parking isn’t really an option.
