30種類以上のスパイスで作る本場カレー「インド・ネパールカレー ハーンディ」 : Ro Yal Curry

Located a 2-minute walk east from the "Hokusei Junior High School" bus stop on the Entetsu bus in Hatsuse-machi, "Indian Nepalese Curry Haandi" is a restaurant where you can enjoy authentic curry prepared by chefs from India and Nepal. The restaurant is located in the former location of "Kamana" and is already celebrating its third year since opening. The restaurant is small, with 5 counter seats and 2 tables for 4. In the kitchen in front of the counter, you can see the tandoor oven where authentic naan is baked. There are more than 10 types of curry made with more than 30 types of spices, and you can have as many naan and rice as you like during lunch time. The daily lunch curry is a great deal at 799 yen, including a mini salad, today's curry, rice or naan, and a drink. The owner and chef, Indra Mani Sharman (pictured right), has been in Japan for about 15 years and can speak a lot of Japanese, so ordering and asking questions is no problem. He used to be a chef in Kyushu for a few years, but after moving to Hamamatsu about 10 years ago, he was the main chef at "Sarasaya" on "Yurinoki Street" in the city for a long time! After that, he became independent about 3 years ago and opened this restaurant. Sous chef Netra Lal Lamichhane (left in the photo) has only been in Japan for a year and can hardly speak Japanese. If you have any questions at the restaurant, please ask the owner Mani. Lunch set "Mini salad" It has a spicy scent, but the dressing is mild and sweet, and the cabbage is delicious. Daily curry "Chicken and nameko curry" (choose from 5 levels of spiciness) 799 yen A mild curry made with soft chicken and the thickness of nameko mushrooms. I chose 3 and 5 out of 5 levels of spiciness. It seems that the spiciness is relatively tailored to Japanese people, so even the maximum 5 level will not be enough for those who like spicy food. Of course, if you ask for it to be even spicier, it's possible♪ "Naan" The naan is over 50cm in size and has a chewy taste. It was so big that I couldn't finish it, so I took the rest home♪ "Rice" The size of the beautifully served rice is also big! (lol) They have a strong spirit of service, so it seems to be popular with big-eater students♪ Drinks included in the set "Oolong tea and cola" When I talked to the owner chef Mani, he said that he hasn't been able to go back to his family in his home country recently, and he hasn't been able to see his wife and children. I hope he will make the restaurant more and more prosperous so that he can go and see his beloved family. Everyone, in the summer, somen noodles and cold Chinese noodles that cool the body are good for cooling the body, but it's also nice to sweat a lot by eating authentic curry that uses plenty of spices, which have the effect of strengthening the stomach, increasing appetite, and promoting digestion, making it ideal for preventing summer fatigue♪ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tonight, dinner at "Indian Nepalese Curry Handi"! Tonight I had a real craving for curry, so I visited a nearby Indian Curry restaurant called "Indian-Nepalese Curry Handi"! I don't know if Kamana, which used to be here, has changed its name or is now under a different owner, but the interior seems to be still in use♪ There are more than 10 types of curry made with more than 30 types of spices, and you can have as many naan and rice as you like during lunch♪ Dinner is available as a single dish, but set dishes are available from 1,250 yen and include chicken tikka and a drink♪ I was a little surprised when the naan, which is over 50 cm in size, was placed in front of me, but it looked very delicious, and I was happy that I could choose my favorite rice from plain rice, saffron rice, and fried rice (Indian style fried rice)♪ However, this time I wanted to eat cheese naan, so I decided to ask for each one separately♪ It seems that you can change to cheese naan for +200 yen and garlic naan for +100 yen to a regular curry and naan set♪ I had some time until my order came out, so while I was waiting, the staff member gave me a carrot fritter for free, saying, "This is a free carrot♪"♪ The curry spiced batter was delicious♪ My partner's favorite spinach curry "Saag Chicken" 890 yen (level 3 on a 5-point scale) Chicken spinach curry is one of my favorite staples♪ The refreshing green of the spinach and the softness of the stewed chicken are captivating♪ The level of spiciness varies depending on the restaurant, so I usually start with the standard level, but this one is relatively mild, so I think I'll go for level 5 next time♪ I ordered "Prawn Curry" 950 yen (level 4 on a 5-point scale) A curry with stewed shrimp that is mild with a spicey flavor♪ He tried level 4 on a 5-point scale, but I think he could go for a higher level of spiciness♪ "Cheese Naan" 480 yen I love big, chewy naan, but tonight I wanted cheese♪ This stretchy cheese is the best♪ Some restaurants have cheese naan that is very oily, but this one was relatively not heavy and I was able to enjoy it until the end♪ When I want to eat curry, I can't stop my urge, so I'm glad there's a restaurant like this in the neighborhood (lol) Thank you for the meal♪ Indian/Nepalese Curry Harndi 1257-1 Hatsuomachi, Kita-ku, Hamamatsu City TEL: 053-488-4027 Business hours Lunch 11:00-14:30 Dinner 17:00-21:30 Closed: Mondays
