On weekdays, I had the Keema and Eggplant Curry (¥1,000) with a Mini Chai Set (¥200) at 1120 without waiting. It's been a year and a half since my last visit. I arrived early before opening and was the only one there at opening time. There wasn't much of a line, except during peak times. I usually have the Chicken Curry, but this time I decided to try a different curry. Today, I had the Keema and Eggplant Curry. The combination of minced meat and eggplant creates a unique curry flavor. The base is similar to the Chicken Curry, so the taste isn't too different, but I slightly prefer the Chicken Curry because it's so delicious. However, the Keema and Eggplant Curry is also undeniably tasty. It's truly a well-established restaurant. It's just a matter of personal preference, but I still prefer the Chicken Curry. Next time, I think I'll go back to the Chicken Curry.

I visited the restaurant right after it opened and it was almost full. I managed to find a seat. It became less crowded around noon, so maybe it's busiest right when it opens. I had the Keema Curry. The portion of rice and curry was generous. For women, a smaller portion of rice might be enough. As the name suggests, it's more like Indian curry rather than spicy curry. It was quite spicy, so it might be tough for those who don't like spicy food. The curry was good, but just average. There are many delicious curry restaurants in Osaka, so I'm not sure if I would go back again. Thank you for the meal.

I finally went to Mori Yamaya in the Kitahama area of Osaka, which is actually a fierce curry battleground. It's tucked away quietly west of the courthouse, but it's quite popular during weekday lunch hours. I tried the eggplant and keema curry, and you can tell it's made with care from the first bite. The spice level is perfect, but they also bring out a separate blend of spices for toppings, so if you like it spicier, be sure to add some. When I added some as a test, I suddenly started sweating. It's definitely a metabolism booster. In conclusion, I will definitely be coming back! 💥

I visited the restaurant before it opened for lunch. There was already one group waiting in line, and by the time I entered, more than half of the seats were filled. I ordered the eggplant keema curry, which had a rich broth, just the right level of spiciness, and lots of ingredients. It was very delicious! I love eggplant, so this curry was perfect for me!

Chicken curry, large serving, 1300 yen. I happened to visit this place in Nishi-Temma for some errands. There was no wait at 1:30 pm. Only 3 people inside the restaurant. It seems like a place with a lot of history and a nice atmosphere. It has an ethnic vibe and feels clean and pleasant. The dish arrived in 10 minutes. The large serving made the chicken look plentiful and the presentation was nice. There were quite a few vegetables in it, including green beans, eggplant, sweet potato, and okra. The chicken was tender and fell apart easily. The curry had just the right amount of spices, not too overpowering. It's the kind of curry that makes you want to come back for more. Adding the extra spicy seasoning brought out a deep spiciness. It's good, but be careful not to add too much. Adding a little at a time is best. Ah, I'm satisfied. I thought about ordering chai, but I felt bad so I ended up having an iced coffee elsewhere. I definitely want to go back.

Arrived after 1:00 PM. No line. Half of the counter and some tables already occupied. Ordered Keema and Eggplant Curry for 1000 yen, with eggplant, green beans, and okra. There was a moment where it felt like I was eating mapo tofu in the curry, surprising me with complex flavor changes within its simple appearance. Delicious.

I had Keema curry. It was definitely tasty and suited to the Japanese palate. However, the spiciness and spice level didn't quite match my taste. Next time, I will try the classic chicken curry.

Eggplant, green beans, and okra keema curry for 1000 yen. Visited before 1 pm on a weekday, even though it's a popular spot, it was not crowded. Personally, I feel like the location is not very good. It's a bit difficult to find off Midosuji Street. But the taste is good, the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, a classic spice curry place. Personally, what left an impression on me was the way the owner pours the curry (the movement) over the counter, it looked delicious. I might come back again, even though the location is not my favorite.

Today is dentist day, I had maintenance and guidance, "It's looking good here and here." Okay... I will work hard on brushing my teeth. A bit late for my appointment due to generations of visits, but all done. Now, time for lunch. I think I'll go for curry today. Walked to the restaurant and arrived at 12:40. Hmm! Curry or set meal? I'm torn. Curry it is. Oh, I can sit at the counter easily. So, I'll have chicken curry and a bottle of beer. It's not good for salarymen, but I'm okay (laughs). The dish arrived soon. Hmm! I want a bit more spiciness. Added some chili powder. It's delicious, but was the chicken breast meat? They also sprinkled fried vegetables, thoughtful touch maybe? Curry costs 1000 yen, beer 550 yen. Thank you for the meal!

Hello ♪ It's Ramen Walking! Today is Curry Day~ I had the "Keema and Eggplant Curry" at Moriyamaya. I was in the mood for curry since the morning, so I searched for a restaurant that I could reach by train as I have already visited most of the lunch spots within walking distance. I found a highly recommended place that I hadn't been to yet and decided to visit it right away. I arrived at 12:10 and luckily got the last available seat without having to wait. I ordered the Keema and Eggplant Curry for 1,000 yen. The curry had a good amount of liquid, and the first bite was sweet and spicy, but it gradually became more spicy. The final kick of spice was indescribably delicious! The flavor of the minced meat matched well with it, and the refreshing taste of the eggplant that I occasionally encountered helped balance out the spiciness as I continued eating with a spoon. Although it wasn't mentioned in the name of the dish, the okra that was also included with the eggplant was pleasantly slimy. I finished it in no time. Despite the initial sweetness and not always being spicy, I didn't realize it, but after finishing the meal, I was sweating on my forehead. Thank you, Moriyamaya! Today's step count: 13,603 steps.

I visited "Moriyama-ya," a representative Indian curry and delicious chai tea shop in quiet and tranquil Nishi-Tenma, Osaka. The menu includes three types of curry: chicken curry, keema and eggplant curry, and assorted mushroom curry. The interior has a calm and quiet atmosphere with 7 counter seats and 6 table seats. The curry aroma fills the air, creating a peaceful ambiance. I was tempted by the assorted mushroom curry that the person next to me was eating, but I ended up ordering the Chicken Curry for 1,000 yen. The curry not only had chicken but also included okra, pumpkin, and eggplant. The curry was a slightly spicy type that coated the rice well. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the spiciness of the curry was just right. I couldn't stop eating as the deliciousness grew with each bite. I added some extra hot sauce for more spiciness, which made me sweat and added a fiery kick to the flavor. The sweetness of the vegetables provided a moment of comfort. The curry was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating, even though I was sweating profusely. It was a perfect combination of flavors. I didn't try the chai tea that everyone was enjoying after their meal because I wanted to savor the lingering taste of the curry in my mouth. I left the restaurant sweating but felt that cooling down with a chai tea would have been a good idea. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I had chicken curry at MoriYama-san. It cost 1200 yen with coffee included. The curry was simmered to perfection, with the sauce and chicken blending together wonderfully. It was clear that the owner enjoys making curry. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Today, in order to blow away the heat with some spice, I visited MoriYama-ya. I arrived around 12 o'clock and found the place to be fully packed. I ordered the chicken curry. They also offer a set with chai, but I opted for just the curry today. The spiced curry had plenty of vegetables and a good kick to it, very delicious. The hot sauce was quite spicy, so be careful! I sweated a lot in the summer heat and felt refreshed. Thank you for the meal. It was delicious.

I heard that the Indian curry and chai at the popular restaurant Moriyama-ya in Nishi-Temma are delicious. You can choose from three types of curry: chicken curry, keema and eggplant curry, and a weekly special curry. The restaurant is located between Umeda and Yodoyabashi, with a sign that says "Indian curry and delicious chai" behind the American Consulate General's office. When I arrived before 2 PM on a weekday, there was only one group of customers inside. The unique rhythm of the owner's voice greeted me as I entered, and a lovely female staff member showed me to my seat. The interior of the restaurant had a spicy aroma typical of Indian curry places. The small restaurant had a counter with 6 seats facing the kitchen, as well as two tables for 2 and 4 people each, totaling 12 seats. The interior had a unique Indian-style decor with cute lamps featuring fish illustrations and Indian-style fabric on the walls, along with slightly rickety chairs that added to the atmosphere. Lunch is available from Monday to Saturday from 11:30 AM to 2:40 PM (last order at 2:40 PM, closes at 3 PM) (Please check the latest information on the restaurant's current business format and hours). This week's menu included: - Chicken curry - Keema and eggplant curry - Weekly special: assorted mushroom curry * Comes with HotHot sauce for extra spiciness * Extra large serving of curry available for an additional 300 yen. Set available until 3 PM: - Curry + Mini Chai (HOT/ICE) or coffee for 1,200 yen. I ordered the keema and eggplant curry with a mini iced chai this time. It was just before 2 PM, and there were only 2 servings of keema left. The keema of the customer who arrived later was the last serving available. The owner had an artist-like demeanor as he cooked while humming, carefully arranging the curry over warm in a small pot before adding the ingredients. The curry was served promptly, about 3 minutes after ordering. The curry also came with a separate HotHot sauce. The keema and eggplant curry looked delicious with a rich aroma. The curry was generously piled over a mound of rice. I took a bite of the keema curry first. It was rich and flavorful with a good level of spiciness. The minced meat overflowed with umami and the sweetness of fat, along with the deep aroma and spiciness of various spices that burst in the mouth. It was spicy but also had a strong umami flavor. The eggplant was fried, giving it a crispy and juicy texture. The okra and green beans also had a nice crunch, adding a good accent to the spicy keema. There was a good amount of minced meat, making it meaty. The rice was firm and paired well with the keema. Although it was Japanese rice, it was cooked to a slightly firm texture that suited the keema. The curry was served with cabbage pickles on the side, which provided a refreshing and slightly sweet contrast to the keema curry. Despite looking spicy, the spiciness was mild, so after a few bites, I added the HotHot sauce for a change in flavor. The HotHot sauce, served in a separate dish, had spices and chili peppers at the bottom. After mixing it, I drizzled it over the keema. It added a strong spicy kick, enhancing the umami of the keema. The flavor alternated between spiciness and umami, making it addictive. The more HotHot sauce I added, the more delicious it became. I ended up adding 3 more spoonfuls of HotHot sauce. However, the spiciness was unexpectedly intense, so it's best to add it gradually to adjust the flavor. When the spiciness became too much, the sweet chai after the meal was a savior! After clearing the plates, the owner brought a cold chai for me. The chai was served in a glass with plenty of ice, and the owner suggested adding syrup for sweetness. I took a sip of the chai as is first. It had a smooth milk and spice aroma with a refreshing aftertaste. Adding the syrup made it delicious! The sweetness enhanced the tea and spice aroma, making it even more enjoyable. The sweet and cold chai was a perfect way to soothe the spiciness and heat from the keema curry and HotHot sauce.

If you love spicy curry, you should definitely go here! It's about a 10-minute walk from Higashi Umeda. Located on a quiet street, we were able to walk in without waiting on a weekday. The curry, filled with lots of ingredients, has just the right amount of spice that makes it easy to eat. It's so delicious that you'll want to eat it all up! They also offer a separate spicy sauce, which is really hot. Even those who can handle spicy food will be satisfied with this sauce! Be sure to give it a try. The interior plays nostalgic Western music, creating a very cozy atmosphere. Thank you for the meal!

I visited around 11:30 am on a regular day. Since it was right after opening, I was seated immediately! The menu I ordered: ☑︎ Keema and Eggplant Curry ¥1,000 ☑︎ Spinach and Cheese Curry ¥1,000 + Iced Coffee ¥200 ☑︎ hothot Sauce ¥0!! Both curries were delicious - the Spinach and Cheese Curry had a milder flavor compared to the Keema and Eggplant Curry! Both were so tasty that I can't rank them. The hothot sauce I tried was super spicy. Recommended for those who like spicy food or are up for a challenge. It's addictive. By noon, more customers were arriving one after another! There were many solo diners, making it a welcoming atmosphere for anyone to enter. The staff were kind and friendly. I would love to go back there again!

"Curry Moriyama-ya" in Nishi-Temma. Every year listed in the top 100 curry shops, with a rating of 3.72 on Tabelog. I'm not a fan of spicy food, so it's rare for me to visit a curry restaurant myself, but I was curious about this popular curry place. I arrived just before 11:30 am and was the first customer. There are 6 counter seats and maybe 2 tables? Easy for solo diners to enter. There are no places to store your belongings. I ordered the Keema and Eggplant Curry for 1000 yen, and added a mini chai for an extra 200 yen. The combination of popular Keema and chai. As soon as I entered the shop, I could smell the amazing spices! I heard it's not too spicy, but let's see. The dish arrived in about 3 minutes. It looked delicious with plenty of minced meat on top. Nervously, I took a bite. Oh, it's delicious! Oh, it's spicy! It's spicy, but you can still taste the umami, and it's very flavorful and spicy! I also enjoyed the eggplant and okra. The flavor and fat from the minced meat melted in... Delicious, spicy, delicious, spicy! There was a pitcher of water right in front of me, which was helpful. The mildest curry of the day was the spinach and cheese curry. After eating, I had an iced chai. It was recommended to make it quite sweet, and when I tried it, it was refreshing and the spiciness disappeared. If you're interested in this restaurant, please save it based on this review. Thank you!

I visited for dinner. They have a one drink minimum in the evening. Personally, I don't think curry goes well with beer, but I didn't feel like having a soft drink after work, so I decided to go with a Tiger beer. I ordered the chicken curry. There was not much chicken in it, but plenty of rice. I couldn't really taste the chicken as it seemed to have melted into the curry. I wish there was more chicken in it. And as expected, beer and curry don't really go well together. I prefer to enjoy them separately. This is just my personal preference and ordering issue, but I felt disappointed as I was looking forward to it.

◆Osaka Lunch Tour◼︎ Mori Yamaya (Nishi-Temma, Kita-ku, Osaka) Kichin Curry: 1000 yen◾︎ Food Beast Maro http://instagram.com/maro.j.maro https://ameblo.jp/korinai-menmen/

Had lunch in Nishi-Temmabashi. Visited Mori Yamaya after a few years. Was looking forward to having their keema curry with eggplant, but unfortunately it was sold out. Ended up ordering the chicken curry instead. The curry arrived with a light sauce, tender chicken, and toppings like broccoli, green beans, and cabbage achar. The spices were well-balanced, not too spicy. After a few bites, I added two dollops of hot sauce provided on the side. The hot sauce wasn't extremely spicy, so it was easy to adjust the heat level. It was delicious, but I still wished I had gotten the keema curry. Next time, I'll come earlier. Thank you for the meal.
