Los barbados

The atmosphere of this almost kiosk-sized restaurant is super authentic—it really matches the world music you hear in here. The African and Middle Eastern cuisine is very filling, with dishes like couscous and falafel, and the selection of rum is varied and impressive. It’s a good choice for getting away from the common food choices in Tokyo. The owner—who is the chef and the only person you’ll see working there besides his wife—is very much knowledgeable about the genre of world music. If you’re interested at all, this would be the place to go in Tokyo to learn.
