Hello (￣Д￣)ﾉ It's hot, isn't it? Even when you don't feel like eating, what you can eat is... how about curry!? Yes, let's make today Curry Day. It's a restaurant located near Kyoto Station, here at #SONIYA (6-7 Hachijo Bomon-cho, Minami-ku, Kyoto City). Recently, many curry restaurants have been opening in Kyoto. I wanted to eat cheese naan (I've been here before) so I quickly went inside. There are about 5 table seats and 2 counter seats. I sat at an empty table. I checked the menu. Usually, in this type of restaurant, they have a cheese naan set. I chose medium spiciness and iced coffee as my drink. The smell of the curry always increases my appetite. I ordered the Cheese Naan Lunch Set for 1280 yen. It came with overflowing cheese naan, butter chicken curry, and chicken tikka 1 piece. Also, salad and iced coffee. I started with the salad as a little comfort for my weight, then dipped the gooey cheese naan into the curry and exclaimed how delicious it was. The combination of cheese, naan, and curry in my mouth was so tasty. The chicken tikka was also delicious and easy to eat. I finished it all in no time. After finishing the meal, I had a small iced coffee to cool down. Thank you for the meal. I've come to understand the spiciness level of this type of curry restaurant, so next time I might try a spicier option. The cheese naan was hot and gooey, and it was delicious. I'll definitely come back! Thank you. PS Lately, maybe because of my age, I've noticed that I get full quickly with oily and cheesy foods. It's not good, getting old and having cheese not agree with me (DOD)(´-ω-)ｳﾑ

I walked from Kyoto Station to the restaurant (it's a bit of a distance from Kyoto Station). I arrived at the restaurant around 8:30 PM, and to my surprise, there were no Japanese customers inside, only foreigners. I ordered the Keema Curry with Cheese Naan set. The freshly made hot Cheese Naan was served, and the melted cheese was delicious. I chose the normal level of spiciness this time, but if I have the chance to go again, I would like to try a higher level of spiciness (the spiciness level ranges from sweet, normal, to levels 1 to 3 out of 5). The seasoning of the chicken side dish was also delicious.

It's been a while since I passed by the Eighth Street, and Sonia is open! I went in right away. The small shop had only us customers. I ordered the B lunch for 950 yen, which includes two types of curry (chicken and daily special), rice, plain naan, salad, and a soft drink. The cheese naan lunch for 1180 yen includes one type of curry (chicken/daily special/butter chicken), cheese naan, chicken tikka (1 piece), salad, and a soft drink. The daily special curry that day was potato and shimeji mushroom. You can get an extra naan for free. The salad dressing was sesame, but I prefer orange. The daily special curry was pretty delicious. The chicken curry was surprisingly ordinary, while the butter chicken seemed to be enjoyed. Thank you for the meal!

B Lunch (2 types of curry, rice, naan, salad, chicken (small), choice of drink (Iced Chai)) for 990 yen is a great deal with a lot of content. By the way, if you upgrade to the Special Lunch for 1390 yen, you get even more items and can choose a drink like draft beer, so I might go for that next time.
