July 2021 visit ♥ Before the declaration of the state of emergency, my daughter and I had lunch together on a weekday. This restaurant is an authentic Indian cuisine restaurant with over 20 types of naan baked in a Indian stone oven and curries cooked with a variety of spices. The interior of the restaurant is glamorous, with decorations that give off an Indian atmosphere. There is a large parking lot in front of the store, and the stylish red brick exterior adds to the ambiance. Introduction of the restaurant (from the website): Established in 2006. Modak is an Indian restaurant where authentic Indian chefs create Indian cuisine. The interior is filled with Indian culture and various goods are displayed. The naan and tandoori chicken finished in the charcoal tandoor in the restaurant are exquisite. Please enjoy them once. It is a unique restaurant where you can also learn the classical dance of South India, Bharatanatyam. There are 4 types of lunch sets ♡ ※A Set ¥792 - Today's 2 curries - Naan - Salad - Yogurt ※B Set ¥902 - Today's 2 curries - Naan - Salad - Tandoori chicken (boneless) or Pakora ※C Set ¥1,045 - Today's 2 curries - Naan - Salad - Tandoori chicken (with bones) - Pakora - Yogurt ※D Set ¥1,595 - Today's 2 curries - Naan - Salad - Tandoori chicken (with bones) - Chicken Kokutaru - Kabab (fried skewers) - Papadum - Samosa - Dessert - Drink (Chai or Coffee) As usual, I enjoyed a beer just for myself (*´罒`*)ﾆﾋﾋ♡ ✱Kingfisher (330ml) ¥649 The glass is a Maharaja glass. I want this glass~ (laughs) We ordered the C Set and requested to change the naan to cheese naan. The curries of the day were vegetable curry and chicken curry. The lunch set was very filling, so we had to pack the leftover cheese naan to take home. Indian curry and Indian beer on a hot summer day... the best combination, right? It was delicious. Thank you for the meal~ ✧*｡(ˊ ˋ*)

I usually eat curry at home, but when I go out for curry, I always go to this Indian curry restaurant, Modaka. I saw it on Tabelog and decided to try their naan, so even though it's a bit far from my home, I always come here. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the staff are polite. I like that you can order your favorite curry dish individually, not just as part of a lunch set. On this day, I ordered the tomato and onion shrimp curry and naan. They can adjust the spiciness level, so I enjoyed it very much.

I stopped by on my way back from the temple. The restaurant is located on a very narrow road where it seems difficult for cars to pass each other if you follow the navigation. However, there is a spacious parking lot and the presence of the shop makes you feel relieved. Despite its location, the place is always crowded with customers, even on weekdays. I ordered a lunch set with Tandoori chicken and an iced chai. The curry comes in two types, one with vegetables and the other can be chosen from the options written on the blackboard. You can also choose the level of spiciness. The food arrived shortly after ordering. The salad dressing has a curry-like flavor. The naan bread is soft and fluffy. The iced chai was a bit weak, giving off a feeling that it was tailored for Japanese taste. I found the quality of the naan bread to be quite high.

I was intrigued by the reviews and decided to visit. Set A is currently priced at 816 yen, with a choice of two curry dishes from the daily specials on the blackboard. It comes with naan, salad, and yogurt. You can also choose the level of spiciness, and even the spiciest level 5 was enjoyable without overpowering the flavor of the curry. The naan was thin, large, and nicely browned, which I really liked. I often try out Indian curry restaurants, but this was a rare hit for me. I will definitely come back again.

I went for lunch. I had a set of curry and naan with two types of curry - vegetable curry and seafood curry. It also came with chicken. The naan had a very chewy and good texture.

I have been going to this favorite restaurant for many years. The lunch is reasonable and highly recommended. You can choose between vegetable curry and another curry that you like. The staff at the restaurant are very friendly, and I always think, "I want to go again!" on my way home. It has a hidden gem atmosphere, but the parking lot is spacious, which is very convenient.

When it comes to Indian curry in the southern part of Osaka, "Modaka" is the go-to place. This restaurant is deeply rooted in the local community. I visited after a long time. I had just received a new bicycle on September 2, so I stopped by on my way back home to Wakayama Prefecture after crossing Kimitoge from Kawachinagano. The interior decoration of the restaurant is full of punch. It might make you wonder if it would be fitting for someone from India, but for Japanese people, it's just right. The curry here is eaten with naan bread. The naan here is huge! Even before the term "Instagrammable" was coined, this size of naan was already here. However, this naan is quite sweet. So you can enjoy it like a crispy cookie. Now, what about the spiciness? Of course, it's in the curry. You can choose the level of spiciness. With mayo-san and another companion, we ordered chicken, seafood, and yellow bean curry. The chicken was delicious, the seafood was easy to eat, and the yellow bean curry had a local touch to it. If you increase the spiciness of the yellow bean curry a bit, it enhances the local flavor. It's located down a narrow road off the main road (look for the Gasto sign). Be careful if you're going by car.

In Hanno Nagano City, there is an Indian curry restaurant located in an inconspicuous place. According to reviews, the naan bread seems to be delicious, but I am a rice lover so I opted for the curry rice set which included chicken curry and spinach curry. I also chose a side dish of pakora, which is a vegetable tempura. The spiciness of the chicken curry and the deliciousness of the spinach curry complemented each other well and I enjoyed it. The pakora had a thicker batter compared to Japanese tempura, but it had a nice flavor. I would like to try the naan bread next time I visit. Thank you for the meal.

First visit to Modaka. Located in a narrow residential street (I was very anxious because it was an unfamiliar area lol). The interior of the restaurant is not very spacious but the colorful and cute Indian decorations create a great atmosphere (although it feels a bit cramped with tables set up everywhere). Now, for lunch, I ordered the C set which allows you to choose from two types of curry. Which curries can you choose from? How many levels of spiciness are there? What is this separate menu posted on the wall?... I scanned through the menu, feeling a bit overwhelmed, but it's okay! The owner will guide you through and explain everything in detail! Don't worry (^-^) So, for the curries, you can choose the (fixed) vegetable curry + one of five options, I chose the spinach cheese curry. Since the C set does not come with a drink, I ordered a separate iced chai. Let's dig in! The vegetable curry seemed to have fewer ingredients but the taste was mild, I wish it was a bit spicier though. The spinach cheese curry was... different from what I expected (each restaurant has its own style, right!). The huge naan was fluffy, chewy, and crispy all in one bite, you can enjoy various textures with just one piece, couldn't stop eating it (´∀｀) The salad had a dressing that was not the usual orange color but more like a Japanese dressing with added spices. The Indian-style fried potatoes were crispy! The bone-in tandoori was well-spiced and made me imagine having multiple beers with it. The yogurt dessert was drinkable without a spoon. The iced chai was sweet from the start, with tea leaves and spices floating in it, and it was the best chai I've ever had! (Just my personal ranking lol) Thank you for the meal! (｡-人-｡)

Recommended Onion Nan (^ ^) Modaka, an Indian curry restaurant located about a 7-minute walk from Mikkaichi-cho in Minamikawachi. I visited after a few years to enjoy my favorite Onion Nan. This time, I chose a set with two curries and your choice of Nan. It came with Tandoori Chicken and something like croquettes. The Tandoori Chicken was delicious as always, with tender meat. The croquette-like dish had a crispy exterior, but I couldn't quite figure out the filling. I chose the vegetable curry and bitter gourd curry. I ordered them with a spice level of 4, one level above normal. The bitter gourd curry is probably a summer-only dish, but the combination of bitter gourd and curry surprisingly works well. It's been a while since I had Modaka curry, and I found it to be sweeter than I remembered. The spiciness was there, but I also tasted a honey-like sweetness and coconut milk sweetness. The vegetable curry also had a sweetness reminiscent of honey or fruits. Personally, I prefer a bit less sweetness, but I can see how this would appeal to Japanese tastes. The Onion Nan had a chewy texture with spicy onions inside, which was delicious. They offer a variety of Nans, including Cheese Nan, Spinach Nan, and even dessert Nans. Despite its tucked-away location, the restaurant was fully booked during dinner time. I ended the meal with Indian coffee before heading home (^ ^).

(Non-smoking) After finishing the morning work around Mitsumachi, I went out to search for lunch. Let's have curry today. I crossed the national highway from the station and turned onto a local road, wondering if it's around here? There is a single house with a spacious parking lot, maybe this is it. As I entered the restaurant, it was slightly dim with an Indian-style decor. I was recommended a two-person table at the far end. There were about three groups of customers already there. I ordered the A set which includes two types of curry (vegetable curry and seafood curry), cabbage salad, and naan. When asked about the spiciness level, I said I wanted it slightly spicy (later found out it was around 3-5). Regular customers who came later ordered a different type of naan, so it seems you can change it for an additional fee. I should have tried the cheese naan, and apparently, there are also sweet options. I couldn't tell the difference between the two curries. The spiciness levels were slightly different. The naan was huge, a substantial portion. It had a slight sweetness to it. Why is the salad always shredded in these types of restaurants? The curries were delicious, it's been a while since I had this type of curry. The seafood curry had octopus and other ingredients in it. I added a chai tea to my order. I had it iced. I really like chai tea. I enjoy the unique blend of tea with milk that's slightly sweet. I received a 10% discount that day and asked about the spiciness of the curry and the types of naan. I would like to go back again. Thank you for the meal.

Osaka, Kawachinagano, Mikkaichi Town, "Modaka" Curry Lately, I have been going from my home in Sakai to Kudoyama quite frequently. There is an urgent matter I need to attend to. Sometimes, it coincides with lunchtime, and other times I purposely pass through during lunchtime to eat out. Of course, it is very convenient when there are good restaurants or places recommended on food review websites like Tabelog. However, if I run out of such places, I have to search for something new. One day, such a situation arose again. So, I decided to search for a restaurant along the way on the internet. I discovered a restaurant located in Mikkaichi Town, which is quite far from the commercial area of Kawachinagano and is in a quiet residential area. I was excited as this might lead me to discover a hidden gem eatery that I love. With high hopes, I set my navigation. I left the national highway and entered a narrow alleyway. It was difficult for cars to pass each other in such a tight space. I started to doubt if there could really be a restaurant in a place like this. Would customers really come here? As we went deeper into the alley, we found the restaurant. It was a sophisticated, hidden gem-like, unmistakably Indian cuisine restaurant. There was a fairly large parking lot. Several cars were already parked, and more cars arrived after us. It seemed like a place that would be hard to reach without a car. Upon entering the restaurant, I was captivated by the large oil paintings and Indian-style decor. I chose my meal while being enveloped in that atmosphere. I hesitated between the B set, C set, and D set. The slightly higher price of the C set with various items attracted me. The D set seemed like too much. I decided to mix the naan and rice. The curry came in two varieties - shrimp and vegetable. It was served with potato and cauliflower, eggplant tempura, and tandoori chicken. It also included chai. This is what I had. The portion was a bit too much. The vegetable tempura was very delicious, made with good quality vegetables. The tandoori chicken was spicy. The curry was quite ordinary, not very spicy. Perhaps a bit more heat and spiciness would give it a more impactful flavor. I had a satisfying lunch in a very pleasant atmosphere. Thank you for the meal. Thank you for reading.

I love Indian curry, so I often get nervous when eating alone at a beef bowl restaurant, but I have no problem having a solo lunch at a curry restaurant. I enjoy exploring various places, from food courts to hidden gem restaurants. This particular restaurant is located one street away from the main road, along a narrow road, with a parking lot available. The building is pink. [Interior] The space inside is quite small. I visited alone, and the tables are close to each other, which can be a bit uncomfortable. On my left was a family with children, and on the opposite side, a staff member was doing some sort of work. The back wall was covered with free papers and flyers, giving a cluttered atmosphere. [Menu/Taste] I ordered a set with two types of curry, naan, salad, and yogurt, which was reasonably priced. I also checked out the dinner menu, which had a wide variety of dishes, including classic Indian side dishes. The naan was slightly sweet and fluffy, but it had some burnt parts and was too puffy for my liking. The curry of the day featured vegetables and shrimp. While the taste was good, it lacked a strong punch and was on the milder side. The vegetables were also just average in terms of flavor. I didn't get asked about the level of spiciness, so I wished it was a bit spicier. [Service] The ordered items were already on the table when I returned from the restroom. The staff members were chatting loudly, which was quite audible in the small space. The service was mediocre. Overall, the taste and atmosphere were decent, nothing particularly bad, just average. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a restaurant that serves delicious naan bread and Indian cuisine. As I drove down a narrow road where only one car could pass, I saw a small red building. The color of the building didn't really stimulate my appetite, but oh well... (sorry) As I parked my car in the parking lot, the smell of curry started wafting towards me. Even though I had made a reservation for the day, I arrived early and had to wait in my car. Then, a staff member brought me the menu. They came to take my order while I was waiting in the car, and as soon as I was seated, the food arrived promptly. The lunch set ranges from A to D. The basic A set is 720 yen (excluding tax), with the option to add 1 or 2 more items. I ordered the B set for 820 yen (excluding tax), which included two curry dishes of the day, naan bread, salad, tandoori chicken or pakora, and yogurt. The curry dishes of the day were pork and vegetable curry. The pork was tender and delicious, with a piece of meat in each dish. I wish there was one more piece to enjoy. The spiciness was mild. The vegetable curry had diced green beans and potatoes, and it started off sweet but then had a spicy kick. This dish was spicier than the pork curry. The naan bread was large, about 30cm in size. It had a hint of sweetness and was really tasty. The naan bread had its own flavor, so I enjoyed dipping it into the curry. I ended up with leftover curry at the end. I chose pakora over tandoori chicken. Pakora is a type of vegetable tempura with potatoes, eggplant, and cauliflower. The thick batter and thinly sliced vegetables made it just okay for me. The yogurt with mango sauce was a nice palate cleanser. I later realized that I could have changed the large naan in the set to a medium naan and rice combo. Well, I came for the naan this time, so maybe next time. I'm also curious about the egg fried rice and chicken biryani on the menu, so I definitely want to visit again. The restaurant is quite small, with about 20 seats, so it's better to make a reservation on weekends.

I visited this place because I wanted to eat authentic Indian curry with naan. It's a small curry restaurant run by an Indian person located down a narrow street. I was surprised to see that it was quite crowded when I entered the restaurant. It seems to be a popular place. I ordered a set menu which included freshly baked naan, two types of curry (I think it was shrimp and potato on that day), salad, tandoori chicken or vegetable tempura, and yogurt for 820 yen (excluding tax). Even though I got full halfway through, I couldn't resist the delicious naan and ended up finishing everything. The more affordable A lunch set for 720 yen might have been enough for me. I noticed that many people in the restaurant were eating rice curry instead of naan curry, and I became curious to try it as well.

When passing by the area and following a small guidance sign, you'll find the desired shop down a narrow road. The shop has a parking lot, making it easy to visit by car. It's quite popular with many customers. The shop itself isn't very large. Lunch options range from regular curry rice priced from 600 yen to over 1000 yen. I chose the A lunch for 750 yen. It comes with two types of curry, naan, salad, and yogurt, making it quite a good deal. It's worth noting that they are working hard to offer this price even in a remote location. The curry, with chicken and vegetables, isn't very spicy but the slightly sweet naan is delicious. It goes well with the curry. The curry itself is also tasty. Thank you for the meal.

In the mountainous area of Kawachi-Nagano, there is a small restaurant called Modaka located along a narrow road by the river. I ordered the "B set" for lunch, which included two curry dishes of the day, naan, boneless tandoori chicken, salad, and yogurt. The salad had a dressing that was a bit strong and not to my liking. The tandoori chicken was flavorful and the curry dishes (chicken and vegetable) were tasty, with the chicken curry being rich and creamy. The naan was sweet and delicious, especially when paired with the curry. Overall, if you're craving good Indian food in the southern part of Osaka, this place is a must-visit.

I heard that there is a delicious Indian curry restaurant in Minamikawachi, Osaka, so I visited for the first time. The restaurant is called "Modaka" and is located near Mikkaichi Station. I visited around 1:30 pm on a Sunday, so the restaurant was not crowded and I could relax. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was perfect for an Indian curry restaurant, with a nice ambiance. It seemed like the food was being cooked by an Indian person. I ordered the B set, which came with naan, two types of curry, tandoori chicken, yogurt, and salad. The naan was surprisingly large and had a chewy texture with a hint of sweetness, very delicious. The curries included a vegetable curry and a chicken curry, each served in separate containers with a good portion size suitable even for women. The spiciness was mild and the flavors were not overpowering, making it enjoyable. The tandoori chicken was boneless, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Overall, the food was delicious, with a good portion size and reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and had a lovely smile. I was surprised to find such a delicious restaurant in Mikkaichi, Minamikawachi. Highly recommended!
