This is a popular curry restaurant located slightly closer to Yoyogi Station than Sangubashi Station. For lunch, the curry is simple and about 140 yen cheaper, with a few lunch-only dishes available. For dinner, there are 7 varieties of luxurious limited edition curries with a slightly wider selection of side dishes. On this day, it was my first visit for lunch, so I simply ordered the Chicken A set with the recommended spiciness level of "spicy". It was served in just over 10 minutes. The dish consisted of dry keema curry on firm three-minute brown rice, topped with shredded lettuce and ginger, and pickled vegetables. The curry had a noticeable spiciness, but the aftertaste was unique with the tanginess of tomatoes spreading throughout. The rice was generously topped with ingredients, making it quite satisfying. Although the location is a bit inconvenient, I definitely want to visit this restaurant again!

I was invited to go there, so I had no prior information. The rice with keema topping and the soup-like curry were very delicious! I ordered tomato and chicken, but there were also vegetables on the rice, so it would have been good for vegetarians too. However, the chicken was tender and the tomato was also tender, so I have no regrets. I definitely want to come back again.

- Summer Vegetable Curry Spicy (1,570 yen) *Limited to summer season ✔︎ Comes with salad I visited after 3.5 months. I wanted to try the summer vegetables that are only available during the summer season. I arrived on a weekday at 19:23. The restaurant was almost full, with only one table left. The curry arrived at 19:42. - The acidity of the tomatoes, the spiciness of cayenne pepper, and the fresh spiciness of grated ginger provide a nice kick. - The summer vegetables include tomatoes, eggplants, pumpkins, bell peppers, okra, zucchinis, and asparagus, each cooked well. The meal felt healthy with the vegetables, lycopene, and brown rice. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Set meal of chicken and spinach with vinegar egg topping for 1500 yen. I went around 12:00 for lunch with six people. The town was hot, but the restaurant had many fans instead of air conditioning. The vinegar egg had a rich flavor with a mustard-like taste, and the keema was dry and paired well with brown rice. The pickled onions were a nice addition. The curry was hot with a tomato-like acidity and fruity impression. The spices were present but not overpowering, catering well to Japanese taste buds. It was not too heavy and easy to enjoy. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Visited "Lion Share," which seems to be one of the top curry restaurants, a 7-minute walk from Yoyogi Station. Arrived around 6:30 pm on a weekday and there was no wait. We were able to enter smoothly. Ordered the special Keema curry set for 1,500 yen, choosing chicken curry, spiciness level doubled, and regular rice. Keema curry and chicken curry were served separately after about 10 minutes. The Keema curry, with minced meat without any stickiness, paired well with lettuce and achar, and was delicious. The chicken curry had a slightly tangy flavor, and when eaten together with the Keema curry, it elevated the experience. The boneless chicken was tender and satisfying to eat. Enjoyed every bite until the end.

JR Yamanote Line, Chuo Line Yoyogi Station is a 7-minute walk away. From Odakyu's Minami-Shinjuku Station, it's about a 4-minute walk. From the west exit, walk about 500 meters west along the road next to the Yoyogi Seminar Headquarters building, pass under the Odakyu Line viaduct, and the restaurant is on the right a little further ahead. This curry restaurant opened in 1994. The owner learned how to make curry at an Indian restaurant called "Shupura" in Matsumoto and started his own restaurant in Tokyo. I had been wanting to visit this place for a while because of its unique and original visual appeal, but it got pushed back for quite some time. I visited around 21:10. There was one customer already there and four customers arrived after me. In addition, there was an Uber EATS pickup order. In the kitchen, there was a woman who seemed to be the owner, and a man who might be her husband. I had the impression that there were separate lunch and dinner menus with a variety of options, but it turned out that the same menu was available in the evening as well. Nevertheless, I decided to go with the dinner exclusive menu - a set of spinach and tomato chicken curry with keema curry. The special keema curry set was served in about 10 minutes. It consisted of brown rice and keema arranged on a flat plate, finely chopped lettuce and cucumber, onion achar, and pickled ginger on top of the keema. The spinach, tomato, and chicken curry were served in a deep dish, along with a soup that came with the set. The rice part resembled taco rice. The keema was dry but had a good balance of spices and a rich curry flavor. The gravy in the deep dish had a medium-spicy tomato base with a hint of spinach flavor, which I really enjoyed. Mixing the gravy with the keema and rice created a curry risotto-like texture, and eating the chicken with the crushed tomatoes was incredibly delicious. The combination of the dry keema and the saucy gravy, along with the fresh vegetables and pickled ginger, created a harmonious and satisfying meal. I would definitely recommend getting the keema curry set, as the combination of both dishes enhances the overall taste. If I have the chance to visit again, I would like to try the scallop curry or oyster curry with the keema set. I'm curious to see how the seafood flavors mix with the keema.

This popular curry rice restaurant is located between Odakyu Line Minami-Shinjuku Station and Sangubashi Station. They offer two lunch sets: A Lunch: 1230 yen (tax included) Dry Keema Rice + Choose one curry from Chicken, Tomato and Chicken, Spinach and Chicken, Vegetarian, or Dry Keema (medium spicy) B Lunch: 960 yen (tax included) Rice + Choose one curry Order: A Lunch 1350 yen (tax included) Dry Keema Rice + Tomato and Chicken curry Dry Keema Rice consists of keema, lettuce, pickled ginger, and onions on top of the rice. Tomato and Chicken curry is made with peeled tomatoes and chicken wings in a soup curry style. The reviewer enjoyed the combination curry (A Lunch) as the true highlight of the restaurant. Dry Keema alone doesn't bring out its full flavor, but when soaked in curry, the richness of the keema comes alive. The curry itself is watery, so it's best enjoyed in a soup curry style. The reviewer loved the soft chicken and spicy curry. Overall, they found the meal delicious and plan to visit again.

I visited a restaurant recommended by a colleague for the first time. I ordered the keyma curry rice with spinach curry (spicy) since it's popular for lunch. The curry was hotter than I expected, and I was happy that it was served piping hot! There were chopped vegetables, onions, and ginger in the curry, so my body warmed up nicely! I will definitely come back again :)

The interior design of the restaurant is nice. The dry curry comes with seasoned rice topped with keema and achar, and it is delicious on its own. You can also choose from several types of curry to accompany it. The vegetable curry has a variety of vegetables such as tomato, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, potato, green beans, and okra, which left me satisfied.

-Special Keema Curry Dinner Set (+330 yen) - Mushroom and Chicken Curry Spicy (1,500 yen) - Soup included Visited for the second time after about 8 months. The dry keema is highly recommended at the main store. Finally got to try it after missing out on ordering it last time. Visited on a weekday at 8:30 PM. There were 2 groups of 4 customers in front and 5 groups of about 12 customers behind. The customers varied from groups to solo diners. Curry arrived at 8:42. - Special Keema Curry It looks like a taco rice composition. The rice is brown rice with a firm and fluffy texture. The keema is very fine and fluffy. The lettuce and cucumber are also finely cut, and the overall fluffy texture is delightful. This keema is unique and different from other stores. The pickled ginger and onion achar served on the side are also delicious. - Mushroom and Chicken Curry A curry with plenty of mushrooms and a generous amount of gravy. The tangy tomato flavor seems like it could relieve stress (personal opinion). The chicken is a chicken wing piece. The mushrooms include shiitake, shimeji, enoki, eringi, and nameko, providing a satisfying meal on its own. The chicken wing piece is also served with pickled ginger, adding a nice touch. The spiciness level is spicy, and personally, it was a delicious level of spiciness. The set with a main of keema and a generous serving of curry with gravy provided a high level of satisfaction and fullness. It was delicious, thank you.

Lion's Share has a great atmosphere and the staff is friendly and provides excellent service. I ordered the Keema Curry, which had a perfect balance of portion size and deliciousness. It's a must-try for Keema Curry lovers. I would love to visit this restaurant again! I highly recommend everyone to give it a try!

B lunch (1 curry dish) for 1,050 yen *Free extra rice I chose their specialty Dry Keema curry. It is one of the best Keema curries I've ever had. Although it would be better if it came with a side dish like salad, the taste is undeniably good and the cost performance is not bad.

Visited A Lunch on April 22, 2023. The "Dry Keema Rice" and "Spinach Chicken Curry" set is a luxurious choice. The "Dry Keema Rice" is delicious on its own, similar to a taco rice. The "Spinach Chicken Curry" is perfect, with tender chicken leg and thigh meat that easily falls apart with a spoon. Thank you for the delicious meal!

This is a curry restaurant near Minami-Shinjuku Station on the Odakyu Line. The exterior is very simple, but a large cactus-like houseplant is a distinctive feature. Inside, there are three counter seats facing the window, tables for four and six people at the back, and sofa seats. It's not a very large restaurant, but the counter seats give a spacious impression. The interior is calming with a wooden finish. Although it's a curry restaurant, it doesn't have an Indian vibe. The lunch menu includes the basic A lunch set for 1,350 yen, which consists of dry keema rice and a choice of one curry. There's also the B lunch set for 1,050 yen with regular rice, keema donburi for 1,150 yen, and eggplant keema for 1,300 yen. I tried the A lunch set for 1,350 yen. The curry is a mildly spicy spinach and chicken curry, and I asked for extra rice. The curry is unique, with bone-in chicken in a light, soupy texture. The spinach is chopped rather than pureed like in Indian or Nepalese saag dishes. While it has a soupy curry presentation, it's not as spicy as expected. The flavor is well-balanced without any dominant spices, and the base flavor comes from the chicken, which is tender and flavorful. The cooking method seems to involve cutting the joints of the bones to extract flavor from the bone marrow. The dish also includes various greens like spinach and pea shoots, giving it a mature flavor. The level of spiciness is moderate, and the curry has a unique taste that stands out from traditional curries. The rice is Japanese short-grain rice, which pairs well with the soupy curry. On top of the rice, there's a mix of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, keema, and pickled ginger and onions. The keema is dry and flavorful, with green peas adding a nice touch. Mixing the spinach and chicken curry with the keema creates a complete and delicious flavor. Overall, the curry is original, delicious, and filling. It's a good value for money, and worth a visit even though it's a bit far from Shinjuku.

I used to live 10 seconds away from here and frequented this shop several times a week. Since moving, I haven't been able to come as often, but I've been craving this curry so much... I finally made my way back to Yoyogi. I always order the tomato chicken, medium spice, with extra vegetables and topped with vinegar egg. This time, I tried the tomato spinach chicken for dinner. It was amazing. The keema curry was the first to arrive. The minced meat was cooked perfectly with onions and ginger, and I love cutting up the vinegar egg with a spoon and mixing it in. It's not like your usual keema curry; the meat is lean and the spices are complex and hard to describe. Mixing it with the side curry and eating it with the shredded chicken and whole tomatoes was just divine. The clove flavor was quite strong. This curry is so good every time I eat it. I've tried to replicate the keema curry at home, adding fresh vegetables and ginger, and even making the vinegar egg topping, but it's just not the same. The consistent deliciousness and warm atmosphere of this place always make me want to come back. The staff, although new to me, were very friendly and the ambiance was as welcoming as ever. I hope this place continues to thrive. I'm already craving it again as I write this. I'll definitely be back soon! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I fell in love with the curry at Matsumoto Curry in Tokyo, and the owner who inherited the taste opened this shop in Tokyo. It's a bit far from Shinjuku, but definitely worth the trip! I went on a weekday for lunch and luckily didn't have to wait in line. The name of the shop comes from the cute lion cushions placed around, so maybe the owner likes lions? Or perhaps it's because it's located in the Lions Mansion? Now, onto the menu. I struggled between the spinach chicken curry and the tomato chicken curry for the A lunch set. I was drawn to the big tomato, so I ordered the dry keema tomato chicken set with double spiciness and extra rice. It took about 20 minutes for the food to come out, probably because they had a lot of lunch bento orders. First up, their number one recommendation, the dry keema. It looks just like taco rice! Lettuce, tomato, ginger, and chicken keema. The crispy texture and combination are spot on! And then the whole tomato and tender chicken curry. The spices are just right, not too overpowering. It's delicious whether eaten separately or mixed together. The brown rice was a great choice, and I finished the extra portion in no time. Thank you for the meal!

Located a short walk from Nishi-Shinjuku towards Sanguubashi, I visited a curry restaurant that caught my eye with its delicious-looking photos for lunch. I ordered the Keema Curry set, which comes with Keema on rice with chopped vegetables and a choice of curry. I chose the Chicken Curry. First, I tried the Keema on rice as is, which was slightly sweet and fragrant. Then, I moved on to the Chicken Curry, which had a nice level of spiciness that made me break a sweat. The combination of the gentle flavor of the dry curry and the spicy chicken curry was exquisite. I enjoyed a leisurely lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Saturday, 7:00 PM. I walked 12 minutes from Shinjuku in search of delicious soup curry. I finally arrived at Lion Share, a place I had been wanting to visit. Despite the huge crowds at Shinjuku Station, I was relieved to find only one group of customers inside the restaurant. "Spinach, Tomato, and Chicken Curry for 1,200 yen." I love tomatoes in curry, so I made a quick decision. I also ordered the "Special Keema Curry Dinner Set (+300 yen)" which includes Dry Keema Curry on Rice, Chopped Vegetables, and Soup. I chose the second level of spiciness, which is medium. I was curious about the drinks, but first, I needed to try the curry. After placing my order, I looked around the restaurant. The wooden chairs and tables were cute. There was a guide on how to eat on the back cover of the menu book, so I read it while waiting for my piping hot soup to arrive. Soon enough, the hot soup, curry, and rice were served. Following the instructions from the guide, I mixed all the toppings on the Keema Curry Rice and took a bite. It was delicious! I couldn't stop eating it. The Keema Curry Rice was so tasty that I almost forgot about the soup curry. The soup curry was hot, but the plate wasn't. This kind of thoughtfulness was nice. The mild spices in the soup spread throughout my mouth, and it was so tasty. The hot tomatoes in the curry were my favorite. The chicken was tender and sweet. Even though it was medium spiciness, my mouth gradually felt the heat. I liked that they served water in large glasses, typical of a curry restaurant. I preferred to eat the Keema Curry and the soup curry separately, as it changed the taste. The ginger in both the curry and rice was delicious. I regretted not scooping up less rice halfway through, as there was quite a lot. As I was leaving, the male chef was very friendly, kind, and had a gentle smile that made me feel at ease. Lovely. Perhaps the impact of the Keema Curry Rice was so strong that the soup curry seemed less impressive in comparison. Personally, I prefer a curry with a stronger punch.

Recommended by a friend, I decided to visit this restaurant I had been curious about. I went for a walk from Shinjuku Station on a holiday around 2 pm. There were 2 groups waiting, but luckily I was able to enter the restaurant in about 10 minutes. The interior was somewhat dimly lit, with counter seats, table seats, and sofa seats. Many people seemed to be enjoying curry while drinking alcohol. I ordered the A lunch set for 1,350 yen (Dry Keema Rice with Vegetarian Curry). The A lunch set allows you to choose from 4 types of curry. Although the chicken curry looked delicious, I was in the mood for plenty of vegetables, so I chose the Vegetarian Curry. The Dry Keema had finely minced chicken with a rich flavor. The spiciness was mild, allowing the deliciousness of the curry to come through. The chopped lettuce and cucumber prevented the mouth from feeling heavy, making it light and refreshing. The chopped ginger and sweet, tangy onion achar were also delicious. The rice was brown rice with less moisture, giving it a light and fluffy texture, which I found to be quite unique. The Vegetarian Curry had a taste of tomato richness and the sweetness of vegetables. The first bite was moderately spicy, but as I continued eating, I got used to it, and the right amount of spice felt good. There were plenty of vegetables such as green beans, okra, pumpkin, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, and potatoes. Each vegetable had a strong and delicious flavor. Both the Dry Keema and the curry were delicious, and with plenty of vegetables, it felt good for the body. The easy-to-eat spiciness was also delicious. It was a cozy restaurant where I could casually walk in alone.
