One of the fiercely competitive areas for spice curry, Osaka Spice Curry's super famous restaurant, Babylon Tower in Yotsubashi, located about a 10-minute walk from Yotsubashi Station! I finally went there *\(^o^)/* It was around 11:45 on a weekday, and the table seats were full, but there were seats available at the counter, so I was able to get in right away, lucky♪ The interior of the restaurant had a unique atmosphere, somewhat American SF chic, with a rock taste, making my heart flutter (╹◡╹) There were many people chatting in groups inside the restaurant, but there were also solo diners, so it's easy to go alone♪ The menu only consists of meat curry and bean curry! Today's menu was Meat Curry: Bonito Keema and Bean Curry: Shiitake Mushroom and Cauliflower. This time, I ordered a combination of both with a side of spiced rice. After ordering, it came out in about 3 minutes, which was surprisingly fast. It's a relief because the common perception of spice curry restaurants these days is to wait at least 15 minutes for your order, so this was much appreciated (╹◡╹) Even if you visit when you're starving, you can eat right away (^ω^) It looked delicious with plenty of ingredients and a soupy texture! Honestly, when I saw "Meat Curry" on the menu, I was hoping for a meat curry, but the Bonito Keema was so delicious!!! It was a unique flavor that made me think, "I really wanted to eat this curry!!" The influence of various spice curry restaurants in Osaka is evident in this dish♪ The rich flavor of plenty of spices and garlic was irresistible (╹◡╹) The Bonito Keema had a strong flavor, which was perfect for someone like me who loves bold flavors. It was rich but not heavy at all, which was impressive!! The chili oil on top was a nice accent♪ The Bean Curry was lighter in taste! Even though it contained tomatoes, the strong acidity was not felt, making it delicious~! Mixing both dishes together and eating them was just too good. And all this for 1000 yen, I was so happy. I finished eating in no time, with a stay time of about 15 minutes. The turnover at the restaurant is quite fast! Even after leaving the restaurant, the lingering taste of spices in my mouth was irresistible *\(^o^)/* It was delicious and satisfying... I definitely want to go back! Thank you for the meal!

For lunch today, my husband and I went to Babil no Tou to have some spice curry. We ordered a combination of meat curry, beef and burdock miso keema curry, bean curry, young corn, cauliflower, spiced rice, and a mix of white rice. We started with the bean curry, which had a strong punch of spices and was so delicious that it became addictive. The meat curry and beef and burdock miso keema curry were both very mellow and flavorful, with just the right amount of spices. It was a curry that spice lovers would definitely want to come back for. The combination curry dish cost 1200 yen and was really delicious. It's no wonder this restaurant is a top-rated place.

Meat curry - clam keema, bean curry - eggplant, light fried tofu side dish, spicy rice. I ordered the maximum spiciness level of 2 for free, for 1,000 yen. It was very delicious and spicy. I preferred the meat curry over the bean curry. The spiciness was just right.

I tried spice curry for the first time! I had the minced meat curry with clams. It had a strong umami flavor and a spicy kick, making it a delicious dish! The clam broth and spices matched well together! The refreshing cabbage on the side was a nice touch too!

I visited "Spice Curry Babil no Tou" in Osaka, located about a 5-6 minute walk from Tanimachi 4-chome Station on the Osaka Metro. This time, I had the "Meat Curry (Gobo Miso Keema)" and the "Bean Curry (Saya Ingen Enoki Mushroom)" as a combination. You can choose between white rice and spiced rice. Self-service cabbage pickles are also available. The meat curry had a crunchy texture of gobo and a rich miso flavor, which was delicious. The spices were quite strong. The bean curry with chickpeas, green beans, and enoki mushrooms had a good texture and paired well with the spicy curry, making it delicious. It was also good to mix them together. The pickles were tasty as well. The unique atmosphere inside the restaurant was also nice. Thank you for the meal!

Spicy curry, curry? I'm almost a beginner. I ordered with a level 1 spiciness, with rice, and a side dish. I love spicy food, but I started with level 1 spiciness. It was pleasantly spicy. I started sweating right away. The meat curry had a lot of clams in it and had a Japanese-style flavor, which was delicious. I want to eat it every day. Oh, just writing this makes me want to eat it now. The bean curry had lots of cooked broccoli. I think they were chickpeas, and the beans were round. I'm not a fan of chickpeas in salads, but these were soft and didn't have an unpleasant bean smell, so they were delicious. The rice was served in a regular rice bowl, about one serving. It's a healthy portion, but I think it might be a bit small for men. The wallpaper on the ceiling of the restaurant was cute. The spoons were made of wood, and the owner looked like the entertainer Kukki-san, as someone else mentioned, which made me smile. I arrived just before the store opened. Two men came in after me. It was a weekday, and it was sweltering hot, so I was glad I could enter without waiting. Inside, there were three tables for two people each and about four seats at the counter. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The Tanimachi 4-chome area is home to many famous curry restaurants such as 'nidomi', 'Tsukinowa', 'Yadokari', and 'Babylon Tower'. One unique genre of curry in Osaka is the "Dashi Curry", where Indian spices meet Japanese dashi broth. Popular restaurants like 'Botanic Curry', 'Former Yam Residence', 'Rainbow Buddha', 'Tsukinowa', and 'Wakka' (which has moved to Tokyo) can also be found here. 'Babylon Tower', opened in 2012, has a psychedelic, garage, retro-futuristic, and stylish interior. Their Kheema curry with seafood dashi is famous. They are known as pioneers of the spice curry genre and are famous for their "Aimori" and "Aimeshi" dishes. The meat curry (Sasanishiki) costs 900 yen and the bean curry was sold out during my visit. You can choose between spice rice (aromatic rice from Thailand) or both for your rice option (spice rice was sold out). You can also mix and match their curry with other varieties. The spice level is moderate and default is on the sweeter side. Their in-house roasted mixed spices are fragrant and flavorful. The ample dried shrimp adds a crispy texture and enhances the seafood broth flavor. This dish is bursting with umami. Osaka's spice curry has definitely evolved in its own unique way. Thank you for the delicious meal!

A friend's favorite restaurant. The more you eat the spice curry, the more your taste buds get hooked in a good way. When I saw the staff, I couldn't help but think of Kukki from Wild Bomb (laughs). The interior of the restaurant and the staff's hobbies are fully on display, making it enjoyable. Spice curry restaurants are really unique. Maybe it's because of the slightly deeper dishes, but it stays warm for a long time. I enjoyed it until the very end.

I arrived around 12:00 and was able to get in smoothly, but there were already customers waiting. The interior of the restaurant had 4 counter seats and 3 tables for 2 people, which could be adjusted to accommodate 3 people. The atmosphere was decorated with stacked CDs, giving a unique vibe. I personally enjoyed the Voodoo grow skulls. I ordered the two types of curry without hesitation, and got the okra and thinly sliced fried tofu bean curry. The chunky chickpeas provided a nice texture, and the slimy okra added a unique touch. The Gobo miso keema curry also had an enjoyable texture from the Gobo. However, halfway through eating, it somehow tasted like miso soup? It had a unique miso flavor, maybe with a hint of fish stock. The quirky atmosphere of the restaurant was fun, and overall, it was a great dining experience!

I arrived at the restaurant at 11:25, before opening time, and there were already two people waiting. I ordered a curry with a combination of meat (burdock and miso keema) and dal (okra and thin fried tofu), along with spicy rice. The food was prepared efficiently in the kitchen and served to me within 5 minutes of entering the restaurant. The curry was delicious and had a good flavor. The dal was also spicy and tasty. I am happy that the restaurant is close to my home, and I will definitely be returning!

I was aiming for something different, but it was too hot... When it's hot, I crave curry. Is this place open? It was open and not crowded at all. Today's curry was written outside, and it was a choice between meat curry with burdock miso or bean curry. I'm not a big fan of burdock or miso in curry, but oh well, I entered. It's a chaotic restaurant. The music is a mix of Japanese and American 90's alternative, blasting away. This is exactly what I imagine an Osaka spice curry shop to be like. A chaotic musician running a restaurant during the day (biased opinion). It's a one-person operation, so you have to get your own water and pickles. You also have to tell the owner behind the counter what you want to order from your seat. "I'll have jasmine rice, please!" I ordered the meat curry and bean curry combo. The bean curry has chickpeas, green beans, and thin fried tofu. Even though I'm not a fan of all the ingredients today, I chose them from the menu so it's my own fault. It arrived quickly. Let's start with the bean curry... It's surprisingly flavorful. Even though it's a bean curry, it's hearty. Chickpeas, green beans, and fried tofu. Since there's no clear source of umami in this veggie curry, I think there's plenty of sugar cane-derived ingredients in it. Nonetheless, it's quite tasty. Even though it's a veggie curry, it's rich. The meat curry is miso burdock. There are chunks of burdock in it, but for some reason, the flavor is almost nonexistent. Burdock usually has a strong taste, right? Well, I'm not a big fan of burdock's flavor, so I prefer it this way. Despite being labeled as miso, there's hardly any miso flavor. But there's a good amount of richness and umami. It's strong in flavor. This one is sweeter in taste. The rice is jasmine rice, but it's quite moist. I wish it had more of the characteristics of basmati rice, like being fluffy. The cabbage pickles I took myself are just overly salty. I shouldn't have taken these... I might sound a bit biased in my comments, but overall, the balance is good, the spiciness is mild, and it was simply delicious. If it had my favorite ingredients that day, I might have praised it more straightforwardly. Thank you for the meal.

It was my first time at this restaurant (^o^)v I went to try out their curry for the first time! I forgot what time it was, but when I got there, the lentil curry was already sold out... only the meat curry was available (*_*) However! The keema curry was incredibly delicious! The interior of the restaurant had a strong character, with a quirky owner and unique decor (lol) Next time, I plan to try the aigake curry (^_^)/

I visited the restaurant around 12:15 on Tuesday and was able to get in right away as there were only 4 customers inside. I thought it would be crowded, but I was lucky to get a table easily. I ordered the curry set for 1000 yen, with pork katsu keema curry and young corn and leek as sides. The curry had just the right amount of spiciness and was incredibly delicious. The pork katsu keema curry was especially amazing and I was impressed. I usually don't like spiced rice, so I chose white rice, but when I tried my partner's spiced rice, it was delicious. Next time, I will definitely go for the spiced rice. This was the best spiced curry I've ever had. Overall, it was incredibly delicious.

On Saturday afternoon, just past 12:00, I was lucky enough to walk in without having to wait in line. The place was constantly busy with customers coming in. I ordered the aigake (vegetables and mentaiko keema) and it had a nice level of spiciness that made me lightly sweat. It was easy to eat and I enjoyed it quickly.

Had lunch at Babiru! Last time, they were sold out of the vegetable curry, but today they had it! I got the Ai-gake for 1000 yen, with gobo miso, keema with spinach, usuyaki, spicy rice. The theme today was Japanese. It's a Japanese-style curry with gobo miso. Such a unique idea. It was delicious!!

I ordered the following menu: - Meat Curry (Gobo Miso Keema) 900 yen (including tax) - Spice Rice (Thai Jasmine Rice) or White Rice (Sasanishiki Rice from Tome) - choose one Unfortunately, the Bean Curry was sold out. I entered the restaurant at 2:00 PM. Thank you for the delicious meal! Thank you very much, Babiru no Tou!

Katsuo Keema for 900 yen is delicious. The gentle bonito broth lingers in the mouth, but it's also meaty. The crispy toppings add a nice texture. It has a slightly spicy kick. The cabbage and chili pickle are also good. Unfortunately, they were sold out of beans when I went for a late lunch. Bummer.

Hello ♪ It's Ramen Walking! Today is Curry Day ~ I had the "Aigake" at Spice Curry Babiru no To in Yamanouchi Yonchome. [Order] Aigake 1,000 yen ・ Gobo Miso Keema ・ Shimeji, Okra Rice is a dish with a mix of spices and white rice. Keema curry with gobo where you can enjoy the texture of gobo. The miso flavor is not noticeable, but it has the unique sweet and spicy taste of Keema. The bean curry today includes shimeji and okra. Shimeji has a distinctive mushroom flavor and texture, and it goes well with Keema curry. [Rice] White rice and spiced rice. Personally, I thought the spiced rice went well with this curry. It's Thai rice with less moisture, smooth and doesn't interfere with the curry flavor. The "Aimori" rice, neatly arranged to intersect with the curry of "Aigake," stimulates your appetite with its visual appeal. Finished eating soon. The owner seems to be a musician as CDs are also sold in the store. He was having music-related conversations with what seemed to be regular customers. In my opinion, many curry shop owners are musicians, and there is often reggae music playing in the store. Thank you, Spice Curry Babiru no To!

A few minutes' walk from Tamachi Yonchome Station. Had lunch here today. The interior has counter seats and table seats, with two types of curry as the main menu. You can also get a combination or a large serving for free. I ordered the bean curry. The ingredients for the day were beans, broccoli, and shimeji mushrooms. Let's dig in! The curry has a strong spice flavor but not too spicy, which I personally quite liked. The slightly firm rice also goes well with it. The portion was not too big, so I finished it all quickly. So, thanks for the meal! I found out later that you could choose between regular white rice or yellow spiced rice, but they didn't ask me when I ordered, so it arrived with white rice. I wish they had asked. The taste is good, and the price is reasonable, but the owner's service is honestly a bit rough, and even at the time of payment, I didn't have a good impression. Since they are selling curry, maybe it's best not to worry too much about the service. Also, the BGM in the store is quite loud, so it's the opposite of a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
