Suddenly, I felt like eating curry and decided to go to the restaurant I had been eyeing. It's located down a narrow alley off the main street in front of the station, so it could be easy to miss due to its modest appearance. Inside, it was quite spacious with table seating and tatami seating, creating a calm atmosphere. The manager led me to a table in the back. The only other customers were a family of four and a young woman who seemed to be a college student. For my order, I decided to go with something simple for the first time, so I chose the A lunch set (you can choose from 5-6 types of curry) with Keema curry at medium spiciness level (ranging from mild to very spicy), plain naan (rice is also an option), and of course, lassi to drink. This restaurant seems to have a Nepalese influence, as there were Nepalese beer posters and flags inside. After a while, the salad and soup arrived, followed by the naan, curry, and lassi. The naan and curry were served in regular stainless steel dishes on a tray. I took out a fork and spoon from the provided box (similar to what you find in Japanese restaurants). Thankfully, there were chopsticks as well, so I used them to eat the salad. The salad was a simple mix of shredded cabbage, carrots, and cucumber with dressing. The dressing was different from what I've had before, but it was pleasant. The shredded cabbage was fresh and not dry. The naan was soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy underside, making it very delicious. The curry, despite being medium spiced, wasn't too spicy. The spices were not overpowering, making it suitable for beginners. However, I felt that the Keema curry lacked a bit of meatiness. The soup was slightly thick and cloudy, with an unexpected addition of seaweed, giving it a unique flavor with a hint of herbs. One improvement point I noticed was the combination of the floor and chairs. Despite having a carpeted floor, the chairs were of the four-legged type, causing them to get caught when pulled out (at least in the spot where I sat). It required a slight lift to move the chairs in and out. Apart from this improvement point, I found the restaurant to be on par with the four Indian-Nepalese curry restaurants in my neighborhood in Yokohama. Plus, they even had a loyalty card where you can get a 500 yen discount after accumulating 12 points.
