ディナーメニューの方がおもしろいかも : Indhian Kicchin Dhiputhi

This time I went on a curry tour. I went to "Deep Tea". This was my third time. On this day, I tried the "Navaratana" (880 yen including tax) and "Ginger Naan" (400 yen including tax) that I had been interested in for a while. Navaratana is probably the usual Navratan Korma. It is a rich curry (korma) with nine kinds of vegetables that means the nine jewels (Navratan). Ginger Naan is a surprisingly rare menu item. The price was 1,280 yen including tax. For an additional 100 yen, you can get a set with naan, salad, tandoori, and a drink, which is definitely a good deal, but this time I wanted to eat ginger naan, so I gave up... ◯Food/Taste...Compared to other restaurants, the curry is not too heavy and the naan is not too sweet. Some people may feel unsatisfied, but it was fun to compare the tastes. ・Navratana The image is a curry-style coconut milk stew. Many restaurants are almost stews, but this is somewhere between curry and stew. They also use whole spices, so it has a strong curry feel. It's not too heavy and the flavor is not too strong. This is a feature of this restaurant. The taste itself was good, but it's a shame that the only vegetables I could find were frozen mixed vegetables and green beans. I've never been able to find the nine kinds of vegetables and fruits when I ordered Navratan Korma... Ginger Naan Naan with what appears to be ginger, green onions, and green peppers sprinkled on the surface. The ginger is spicy here and there and it's quite delicious. For the difference of 100 yen, I think it's okay to order it depending on your mood. The naan itself is still crispy on the outside and plump on the inside, with a good texture. ◯Service...I think it's better that there is no limit to the curry you can choose with the dinner set than with the lunch menu where you can only choose from three different curries each day. There are some unusual curries, so I want to try a variety of them. ◯Atmosphere...It's the same as last time. ◯Cost performance...The price of the curry and naan alone is about the market price. However, the dinner set is a good deal depending on how you order. Tandoori dishes are on the cheaper side. Overall: The curry and naan are not particularly outstanding, but they have their own unique flavor and are interesting. There are a wide variety of curries, so I would like to try other ones.

This is my second review after about three years and three months. It's been quite a while. I used it again for a holiday lunch. The style of choosing from three types of daily curry for lunch has not changed, and looking at the lineup on the day, there are three: keema, chicken, and egg. It's a bit subtle because it's only low-priced items. The last time I came, it was pork, saag chicken, and keema egg, so the level has gone down. I had no choice but to choose the least ordinary of the three types, "egg," and ordered a holiday lunch (one type of curry, naan or rice (free refills), salad, and drink) for 980 yen including tax. I didn't eat naan last time, so I changed it to cheese naan for an additional 200 yen, and got a refill of plain naan. The total payment was 1,180 yen. ◯ Food/Taste... A light curry and a chewy naan that wasn't sweet. As expected, it had a bit of a unique flavor. ・Egg curry A tomato-based curry with a slightly sour taste. Unusually for this type of restaurant, it does not use cream and is low in oil, so it is light and not mellow. Because it is a simple dish, I could taste the base vegetables and the aroma of spices. The filling is a little disappointing, with only one boiled egg added later. Cheese Naan It is nicely burnt and looks delicious. It is a little small, about 20 cm in size, but it uses a lot of cheese and has a good volume. The combination of the melted, moderately sweet cheese and the chewy dough with a bitter burnt taste was good. Plain Naan It is long and thin and clearly burnt. There is not much butter on the surface, so it looks dry. It is dense and plump. It is not sweet, and the bitter burnt taste is an accent. It has a simple impression compared to the usual sweet and fluffy naan. Personally, I don't look for sweetness in naan, and I prefer a chewy texture, so I like the naan here.・Salad Salad with orange dressing, a staple at Indian Curry restaurants. ・Soup The soup was a little thick, with a good amount of salt and pepper. △Service...It may have just been a coincidence, but the three types of curry to choose from were a bit disappointing. The three types of curry that change daily are not bad, but I would be happy if they were a little more different. After all, the variety of curries seems to be better on weekdays, so perhaps they don't put as much effort into weekends. There was no particular change in customer service from the last time. ◯Atmosphere...There was no particular change from the last time. △Value for money...A set of curry, which is the most standard type among Indian Curry restaurants, is a bit expensive at this price. The price setting is also more advantageous on weekdays, and weekends are at a disadvantage in terms of value for money. ◯Overall...The curry and naan are different from the usual Indian and Nepalese types, so this is fine. I wish the curry to choose was a step above for this price, but I would like to eat the naan here again.

　伏見駅近辺にあるインド料理のお店です。

　今回は休日ランチ帯で980円のホリデイランチ（カレー（３種から１つ選ぶ）、ナンorライス、サラダ、ドリンクorアイスクリーム）を注文。
　メニュー表に記載のないスープも出てきます。

　この日のカレーはポーク・サグチキン・キーマエッグの３種類で、サグチキンを選択。
　ナンは＋100円でバターナンに変更。プレーンナンはおかわりで食べました。

　計1,080円です。

○料理・味…カレーもナンもそこそこに独自色があってよかったと思います。

・サグチキン
　ほうれん草ペーストのカレー。
　にんにくがよく効いており、その次にほうれん草の風味がある感じ。
　具はやわらかい一口サイズのチキンがいくつか。
　にんにく風味の強いサグカレーは好きなので、これは結構ツボ。おいしい。

・バターナン
　バターが塗りこまれた生地が層になっているナンです。バターのため全体的にしっとりとして柔らかく、生地がびよーんとよく伸びます。クロワッサンの内側の部分みたいな感じです。

・プレーンナン
　薄い部分はパリパリ、ふちの厚い部分は柔らか。
　弾力があっていい食感です。
　甘みはないけどな食感が良いので、これだけで食べたくなってしまいます。カレーにもよく合います。

・サラダ
　キャベツがメインで、レタス、人参、コーンがはいったミックスサラダです。ドレッシングはフレンチっぽい味でしたが、単純なフレンチかと言われると酸味が少し違うような…。色も若干オレンジがかってたし…。よくわかりませんが、おいしかったです。

・スープ
　とんこつっぽいような気もしますが、たまねぎのような味もしっかりしていて、とんこつとオニオンの中間ぐらいなスープ。

○サービス…平日・休日ともランチメニューはカレー日替わり３種類から選ぶ。
　平日は曜日固定２種類＋日替り１種類、休日は日替り３種類です。
　平日のカレーは凝ったものが多くて魅力。
　ナンとライスは食べ放題。サイズ調節は可。
　カレーのトッピングやナンの変更も色々できます。
　カレーの提供はある程度の時間はかかりますが、サラダは注文前から出てきました。
　接客は外国の方で、日本語・対応等問題ありません。

○雰囲気…居酒屋みたい。お店はインド系の装飾等はなく、シンプルで落ち着いた作りです。お昼時に行きましたが、平日ではなかったので場所柄のためか空いてました。

○コスパ…食べる前は微妙に高い方かなと思ってましたが、食べた後は高くはなかったな、です。スープ・サラダ・ドリンクがついてナンも食べ放題で、料理の量も多くてしっかりしてたし。
　量は、カレーは多めで、ナンは普通、サラダは多め、スープは普通、です。カレーの量は、ナン２枚で丁度使い切るぐらいでした。カレーが足りなくなるということはないと思います。

○総合…よくあるタイプのナンカレーそこまで違うわけではないけど、少し特徴があってありきたりとも言えない。たまに通いたくなるお店かも。
　日替わりカレーの曜日ごとのメニューや、他のナンもぜひ食べてみたいと思います。が、平日はなかなか来れないので、土日もいろいろ食べれるようにして欲しいです。
