This is a restaurant specializing in Indian and Nepalese cuisine located in the Aba-za and Nishi-bashi area.
While searching for a lunch option in the neighborhood, I came across this place and decided to visit during the regular lunch time.
By the way... usually I'm a big fan of Spice Curry dishes.
However, I became a “spice curry fanatic” after I was transferred from Tokyo to Osaka.
Until then, I was a “Indian Curry Fan”.
That's because, just over a decade ago, there weren't many restaurants offering the unique "spice curry" style of cuisine in the Kanto region.
In addition, due to working in Chiyoda Ward for a long time, it seems that there are many Indian and Nepali curry restaurants in this area.
10年前、東京から大阪に転勤してきた時は、「インド料理の店があまりにも少ない！」とよく言っていました（笑）
By the way, the area where I work currently, Aoba-za and Honmachi, seems to have quite a few restaurants serving Indian and Nepalese cuisine even within a relatively small area.
Ah, but it seems that there are very few restaurants serving South Indian cuisine.

Located on the second floor, along the wide staircase on "Naniwa Street" in the main road.
During lunchtime, most of the interior is filled with guests who seem to be business men from the neighborhood.
With one guest, or groups of five or six people, the options are varied.
However, somehow, the tables are arranged in a way that makes it easy to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the group of people, and I don’t have any concerns regarding the distance between neighbors♪
Received was "C Lunch 1100 Yen"
A full lineup of two curries (selected from four options), salad, rice, nang, tandoori chicken, and drinks.
Here, it has been transformed into cheese dumplings. The price includes taxes, and it costs 1350 yen.

A salad topped with a slightly spicy dressing.
The cabbage continues its terrifying rise in price, but it is also abundantly present in the dish. It has a crisp texture and tastes delicious.
選ばれた４種類のカレーは、野菜カレーとダルカレーです。
Both options selected "tasty but spicy" level 4 on a scale of 5.
The original recipe is almost unknown, but it's a dal curry with a gentle and quiet flavor.
It's not to the extent of a "goro-ga", but the broccoli shape is clearly visible. It has a well-defined sharp taste and a distinctive accent, making it a delicious vegetable curry.
A moderately spicy taste that gives a pleasant sensation – quite agreeable.
It's worth mentioning the cheese nan.
It was neatly divided into four parts, and from the cross-section, one can clearly appreciate the ample cheese content.
Cheese that is included in plenty from one end to the other.
In some ways, almost no that characteristic soft texture can be felt at all (laugh)
It feels like eating freshly baked cheese bread that's soft, fluffy, and delicious♡
And yet, the expression is a bit difficult to understand. But it has a cheese texture that is similar to mozzarella cheese—no strong or unusual taste at all♪
At first, I was skeptical about how cheese would pair with Indian curry. That's why I ordered it with mixed feelings.
As mentioned earlier, in some ways, the cheese has a less pronounced taste and aroma, which makes it a perfect match for curry.
A feeling of softness and tenderness remained, while it was enjoyed together with the curry.
Additionally, due to age-related factors, I was able to finish only two of the dishes offered.
Regarding the leftovers, we were asked if they wanted to take them home. They carefully wrapped them up accordingly.
The hot chai I enjoyed after eating was served with sugar, which was a pleasant addition for someone like me who doesn’t particularly enjoy the sweetness of sugar.
It left a pleasant bitter taste behind, yet it had a rich and refreshing flavor that was truly delicious.
Not only was the taste excellent, but the value for money, along with service and the ambiance, made it a highly balanced experience.
After a long time, I finally enjoyed an Indian curry lunch that was truly satisfying!
Thank you for your hospitality.
