Real Pakistani homemade food! Gandhara in Ginza and Patohar in Shibuya, Takadanobaba and Kichi Joji are also Pakistani restaurants, but Rajput is way more authentic. Not fancy or anything, but as my friend Sohan (who comes from Bombay) says, it offers an example, rare in Tokyo, of what people actually eat every day in Pakistan or India. The only other example I can think of is the excellent Gandhara in Ginza, because the superlative Marhaba in Ikebukuro is rather more fancy in style. They have things you will not find in any other restaurant. I recommend their Karai Chicken (where Karai does not mean hot, it means dry), and a Paratha, either in the Masala or normal version. The hotness of the curries can be chosen in degrees varying from -3 to +10 (or "Muslim Hotto").
