ちゃんと美味しいスパイスカレー : Takokuseki Ryouri Pokara

I think the restaurant used to be called Sayaka, but while I was thinking about going, it was renovated and changed to Pokhara. Standing in front of the restaurant and looking at the sign, I noticed that the genre had changed from authentic Indian Cuisine to international cuisine. I was worried that they had stopped serving curry, but when I looked at the menu outside the restaurant, I confirmed that curry was the main dish, so I decided to go in. I have the image that local Restaurants can now be seen clearly after the renovation was the trigger for me to decide to go in. Now, I ordered. Since I wanted curry, I chose the One Curry Set (1,078 yen including tax), which allows you to choose one type of curry, and selected mutton masala curry and naan. The spiciness options are mild, normal, medium, spicy, and very spicy, and I was undecided about whether to go very spicy or hot, but the waiter advised me, "There is mustard on the table, so you can add it later," so I decided on the spicy option. This is the problem I always have at Indian curry restaurants: whether to go for the very spicy option or not. Spicy is often not enough for me, but I can't order super spicy because I'm afraid of the impact of the word (lol). It would be easier to choose if there was a level in between, like super spicy. . . And I thought that just saying Nepalese Cuisine spicy" would not tell you the characteristics of the restaurant, so I also ordered the Nepalese steamed Gyoza / Dumpling, momo (660 yen including tax). Looking closely at the interior of the restaurant, I realized that this is essentially a Nepalese restaurant. The sign and Tabelog page are full of international cuisine, so I wasn't sure, but it is a fairly solid Nepalese Cuisine restaurant. Local spices are also sold inside the restaurant, and in the back of the store, it seems to also serve as a grocery store selling ingredients to people from the same hometown. There were hardly any products that I could read the name of, but the turmeric powder was very cheap, so if you want curry spices, you can ask them and get them at a much cheaper price than buying them at the supermarket. First, the salad and soup that came with the set were served. The salad had a variety of vegetables and was quite filling. The soup was a consommé soup with a deep flavor made by slowly simmering various vegetables. The large amount of oil floating on top is distinctive, unlike Western-style soup, and it's completely different from the usual hot water that comes with lunch sets. It was made with care and attention. Next was the Nepalese steamed Gyoza / Dumpling, Momo. Apparently they had hot and cold sauces, and when I ordered the hot one, it came out with a flashy appearance like the picture. There was a fire coming out of the middle (lol). The waiter said it's popular in Nepal. Aside from the visual impact, it was a lot of volume for 660 yen. There were six Gyoza / Dumpling floating in the curry-flavored soup. The taste was relatively ordinary for Gyoza / Dumpling, but it was interesting to eat them with the curry soup. However, I think I made a mistake in choosing the curry soup before eating the curry (lol). And naan for one serving of mutton masala curry. The curry volume is quite large for this type of curry restaurant. Naan and rice are free to refill, and it seems that you can ask for rice after you finish the naan. I couldn't eat that much, so I only had one piece of naan. Honestly, I've never come across a restaurant that serves bad spice curry, and I don't have the taste buds to sense the difference in taste between restaurants, so I can't really comment, but I think this was a very satisfying spice curry. Next time, I'll try a set of two types of curry to compare. Overall, the food was tasty enough for an Indian curry restaurant, and the prices were reasonable. The service was friendly, and it was an easy place to go. It would be a useful place to go for lunch or dinner. If you get to know them a little, you can ask them about curry spices, buy spices at reasonable prices, and they might even be your ally when making spice curry.
