No line to wait in.

Says Ethiopian but it was very similar to an Indian style curry with lots of vegetables and a bit of a more grainy curry texture. Good flavor and the beef chunks were also super flavorful and tender.

A bit too expensive in my opinion but the taste is satisfactory. Probably as authentic of a curry as you can get in Japan.
Worth the try.

I visited this branch of a famous curry restaurant in Kanda, the battleground for curry. It was a store that was easy to use.
The main menu costs around 1,000 yen, but there is a medium menu that costs 650 yen, which is good value for money. A rather small portion of curry comes with a salad or mango pudding for lunch. There is no free refill of potatoes that comes with the main menu, and only one is offered, but it is a convenient menu if you don't want to eat a lot.
I chose the cheese dry curry from the 4 types of medium menu. It had a lot of cheese like a cheese doria, and there was only a small amount of curry, but it was a chilly day so it was warming and not too spicy. In other menus, you can choose the level of spiciness from 0 to 70.
It was a meal ticket system and I paid in cash. The customer service was also good.
Is it good to be able to add lassi for 150 yen?I thought it would be better if hot chai and coffee were also on the menu, even if the price was a little higher.
