The curry roux was too watery. Was it just for that day? The previous one was better. @tazimaharueverest #TajMahalEverest #TajMahalEverestKatsuraBranch #Curry #NepaleseCurry #IndianCurry #Katsura #KatsuraGourmet #KatsuraLunch #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoLunch

[October 18, 2020] It is recommended to make a reservation for Katsura Rikyu. If you don't have a reservation, you can try to get a numbered ticket in front of the main gate at 8:40 in the morning, and then enter at the designated time. A guide from the Imperial Household Agency will provide a tour for about 40 minutes. Katsura Rikyu was built between 1615 and 1663. The Koshoin was built around 1615. The gardens and other areas were developed over several decades. It remains almost exactly as it was when first built. The concepts, calculations, mechanisms, and aesthetics are astonishing, reminiscent of modern architecture by figures like Tadao Ando and Frank Lloyd Wright (both of whom deeply studied Japanese architecture). The German architect Bruno Taut (1880-1938) praised it as "so beautiful it makes you want to cry" and "it is impossible to be more simple and elegant at the same time." Another great architect, Walter Gropius (1883-1969), also praised it in their joint publication "KATSURA." It has become known worldwide. While clearly a national treasure and historic site, it is not protected under the Cultural Properties Protection Law due to being part of the Imperial properties. The gardens are on par with world heritage sites. I ordered the A set for 850 yen (including tax) with a drink. The Tandoori Chicken was 250 yen, and the Ladies Set with a drink was 1,080 yen, including Batula for 500 yen. Thank you for the meal.

Sweet dressing for the salad. Butter chicken curry (spiciness level 4) had the spiciness balanced out by the richness of the butter. Maybe spiciness level 3 would be better. The cheese naan was large in portion. It was delicious with creamy cheese. The dessert was sweet. Vegetable curry (medium spiciness) had green beans, carrots, eggplant, and broccoli in it. It was sweet but also had a hint of spiciness, making it delicious. Maybe a higher spiciness level would have been better.

I took some takeout from Taj Mahal Everest after a long time! The staff has increased, and they now wear lovely sky blue uniforms, and the menu has changed in various ways. I aim to try all the dishes on the menu again. The food here never disappoints! Today, I had the curry of the day (bamboo shoot and chicken), samosas, chicken tikka, and naan. While waiting for the ordered dishes, I was served lassi as a complimentary drink. It's a cozy and welcoming restaurant with a subtle kindness always present.

Due to my poor time management, I haven't been able to visit Taj Mahal this season, but I finally made it today. As soon as I entered the restaurant, the delightful aroma of spices made me excited. The warm staff and my favorite curry never fail to soothe me. I was so engrossed in the pleasant conversation with the staff that I forgot to take photos, but the hot chai after the meal is always a must for me. Today, I had lunch set C (naan, curry of the day + one choice of curry, tandoori chicken, salad, soup, soft drink) for 1080 yen. I love the slightly sweet naan here, so I ordered an extra serving. Being able to get a refill of plain naan for 150 yen is also a great feature of this place.

I tried ordering the C course (8,400 yen) at Taj Mahal. I wanted to create happy memories with my family, so I thought, "If you want to make happy memories, do it at your favorite restaurant." That's why I chose Taj Mahal. We challenged the 4-5 person course with four people. I have to say, we couldn't finish it and ended up taking some home. Taj Mahal truly lives up to its reputation! The volume was amazing! Everything was delicious, so we kept eating and ended up feeling very full (laughs). We also enjoyed two bottles of Indian wine throughout the meal, and we were laughing the whole time. Taj Mahal has a relaxed and homely atmosphere, which made the experience very enjoyable. It's a special place for me.

It's for takeout. The best way to enjoy it is to eat it fresh at the restaurant, but lately we've had to get takeout. The kids enjoy Taj Mahal at home, too. When we have Taj Mahal at home, we watch anime together and have a peaceful and enjoyable time.

It's a takeout order. Two chicken tikka rolls, chicken chow mein, vegetable curry, and two plain naans. Eating them hot at the restaurant is the best, but enjoying them at home is also nice. I forgot to take a picture of the chicken chow mein on a plate.

I visited this shop for the first time. The interior is beautiful and clean with a sense of cleanliness. I always think that everyone really keeps it clean! I ordered the daily curry with the A lunch. It was delicious curry! I had to pay extra for a second serving of naan. Thank you for the meal!

This is a restaurant that I love so much that I can't feel settled if I don't eat here at least once a week. This time, I ordered a set meal (A set for 820 yen, B set for 980 yen, both come with salad, soup, and a drink) and a single samosa with my family. I always have a hard time deciding because the single soups, soup noodles, yakisoba, fried rice, etc. are all so tempting. They have a variety of naan breads and I haven't tried all of them yet. I'm really curious about the keema naan with minced meat inside. The roll series is wrapped in naan with salad and meat inside, making it convenient for takeout. There are many curry dishes that are not included in the set menu, so there is always something to look forward to. Thank you for the warm and cozy atmosphere and delicious food. This is my power spot.

I forgot to take a picture of the set chai again. (Tears) I ordered the set (curry, salad, soup, plain naan, drink) and pork tikka. This time, I paid an extra 150 yen to have the naan in the set changed to garlic naan. I also paid an additional 150 yen for an extra plain naan. It was delicious.

It was cold and I was craving something warm and comforting, so I decided to try Nepalese yakisoba and a side of soup for the first time. I had previously tried the vegetable yakisoba, so this time I opted for the pork. The vegetable soup seems like it will go well with the dish.

After having lunch at home, I went to have the honey naan (500 yen) that I was curious about as a dessert. I paired it with my favorite hot chai (350 yen). Even though it's cold season, the warm and sweet honey naan and hot chai, along with the staff's smiling faces, warmed me up both physically and mentally.

I came to eat the special salad, dal makhani, chicken roll, peas pulao, and my favorite batura that I have been curious about for a long time. I forgot to take a photo, but the lassi and hot chai after the meal are a must (laughs). Maybe because the dishes use a lot of spices, when I have a cold, eating Indian-Nepalese cuisine warms up my body and makes me feel energized. I haven't tried all the menu items yet, but the seafood noodle soup sukpa that I posted before is especially recommended for the upcoming cold season.

This is my first time trying Batuula, and I found that it pairs well not only with sweet toppings like honey, whipped cream, and syrup, but also with spicy side dishes like curry and other spicy foods. It's a great choice on hot days, but also perfect for warming up on cold days with a hot chai that warms you from the inside out.

This time, I went to the restaurant with a bigger appetite than usual. The lunch sets are all very filling, so I usually just order a set and nothing else. But this time, I ordered spicy potatoes and an additional naan. I was so full that my stomach felt like it was going to burst, and I was very satisfied. It's strange that I never get heartburn from eating too much Indian-Nepalese cuisine, thanks to all the spices. I always think I should have hot chai with sweet naan and ice cream, but I never seem to get there.

There are several Taj Mahal Everest restaurants in Kyoto and Osaka, and I was curious about the one nearby. On this day, after winning the ticket war, I planned to go to Osaka in the afternoon to see the "Okaasan to Issho Special Stage" performance, so I stopped by here on my way to the station. Indian curry restaurants like this often have options for children, and this one also has a children's lunch menu, which is reassuring. The restaurant is small, but cozy, with bench seating on one side of the table seats. There is also counter seating and tatami seating on the second floor. The lunch menu is extensive, offering a variety of curry options with a choice of spiciness levels from mild to very spicy, which is rare! They also have regular curry rice, which is unusual! Personally, I appreciate when lunches come with a drink. I ordered the following: Half Cheese Naan Lunch - 950 yen (1 curry, half cheese naan, salad, soup, drink), Chicken Curry Lunch - 980 yen (2 curries, plain naan, salad, soup, drink), and Kids Lunch - 580 yen (chicken curry, half naan or rice, salad, wiener, drink). The salad and soup were served promptly after ordering. The dressing on the salad was unique but rich and delicious. The main dishes arrived just as we finished the appetizers. The Half Cheese Naan Lunch was generous with cheese and the curry was flavorful. The spinach curry was not very spicy despite ordering it as "normal" spiciness. The Kids Lunch chicken curry was sweet and flavorful, and the separate plate for rice was convenient for children. The lassi drink was also served generously. I would like to revisit this place as it is nearby and child-friendly.

Tandoori chicken is amazing!! I also love shish kebabs ❤️

I used it for lunch. It had a good volume and cost performance. The cheese on the cheese naan was plentiful and luxurious.

The curry at Taj Mahal Everest Group is delicious.
