“ Awesome little curry shop with a great, rustic, almost hippie atmosphere inside. I had the Home Style Pakistan Chicken Curry as well as the “Chiki Chiki Keema”. Both were enjoyably spicy. They are labelled as “Very Spicy” since most Japanese don’t handle spice well but I found it enjoyable. The Pakistan Chicken Curry is made with shredded Chicken and as the name describes, it really does have a rustic, comforting taste. The keema was quite unique as it incorporated Indian spices as well as Sichuan pepper creating a shocking and tasty fusion. What I found really interesting and again, unique, was the fact that the rice used was a mix of Japanese white rice as well as Indian Basmati rice, something I’ve never seen before. It created a one of a kind texture that worked very well. My only complaint would be the portion size of the curries themselves; could be a little bigger. ”
“ The shop is located on the 3f. Upon entering we were greeted by the friendly staff and then sat down to choose what to eat. They didn't speak that much English but were very friendly to give recommendations. The shop owner was a very gentle and kind man and directly put a smile on my face. I tried my friends recommend curry which is their specialty and I took the butter chicken. Both were extremely delicious and we are definitely coming back here! ”
