When I first went there, the curry set I ate was so delicious that I went back immediately for a second time. The first time I entered at 3 pm, and the second time at 4 pm. I don't usually take a lunch break, so it's great that I can still enjoy a leisurely meal even if I miss the lunchtime rush. The first time I had the lentil curry and chicken curry dal bhat for 900 yen, and the second time I tried the lentil soup curry and lamb curry Nepalese set for 1300 yen. Personally, I think the 900 yen combination was the best. There may be individual differences, but I found the lentil soup to be a bit too watery, or rather, the lentil curry was just too delicious. Normally, I prefer lamb over chicken, but at this restaurant, chicken wins. The staff are always friendly and attentive, offering to refill water and rice promptly. The third floor is for smoking, and the fourth floor is non-smoking, which is rare in this type of restaurant and shows consideration for female customers. The other dishes also look delicious, so I think it would be fun to come with a few friends at night. The spiciness of the food goes well with alcohol, so it's likely to be enjoyable. If you still want more, you can go downstairs for a second round at Senrika, or just cross the street for another popular Nepalese restaurant. This is not a review of the food, but the sign outside saying "Takeout OK, Party OK" is seriously cute. Next time, I'll try the party option.

Just a 3-minute walk from Shin-Okubo Station. It's on the 3rd floor of a building, so it's easy to miss, but keep an eye out. The interior of the restaurant is a bit old, but it's acceptable. The staff seemed to be from Nepal, and the service was decent. The restaurant was not crowded. We ordered the Premium Course, which includes 2.5 hours of all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat for a special price of 3480 yen (regularly 4000 yen). The course included: 1. Fresh green salad, 2. Spicy lamb dish, 3. Spiced soybeans, 4. Organic potato samosas, 5. Steamed dumplings with flavorful soup, 6. Pork chili, 7. Assorted spicy grilled chicken skewers, 8. Your choice of 3 dishes from the main menu, 9. Basmati rice, 10. Today's dessert. The portions were generous, and the dishes were delicious. The water dumplings and spicy grilled chicken were particularly outstanding. The curries were also tasty, with options like mutton, chicken, and pickled vegetables. Overall, for the price and quality of food, this restaurant is highly recommended.

This is my second time using it, but it's my first post. I used a 3000 yen all-you-can-drink course with 4 friends. The all-you-can-drink included draft beer and was served smoothly. The course started with salad and grilled lamb, followed by spicy potatoes and other dishes that went well with alcohol. You can also choose from multiple curries and get refills. The town may be crowded due to its location, but it is full of exotic atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy the unique charm of dining out that you can't experience at home. Highly recommended.

Curry Tokyo Hyakumeiten 2019. Visited on Sunday at 13:50, with one group of four customers already seated. Since it was a Sunday, the lunch menu was not available, but the cheapest set was priced at 800 yen. Looking at the map, upon arrival, the sign said "izakaya" so I hesitated a bit, but since it was Sunday lunch, I thought it would be okay and went up the stairs? Huh? It said 3-4F but there's an entrance on the 2nd floor? Opening the door, I realized there were stairs after all! I'm not sure why the door is in the middle, but I went up the stairs and arrived at the restaurant. I decided to try something unfamiliar from the menu, so I ordered the Diro set for 1500 yen, and the recommended Mix with Bara for 550 yen. A mini salad arrived quickly, just a regular salad with sesame dressing. It took a bit of time for the Diro set to arrive, about 15 minutes, and it was huge! It was much bigger than I imagined, with two pieces instead of one. It felt like eating soba kaki. The curry was a new sensation, and it was quite filling compared to rice. There were various toppings, like curry stir-fried potatoes and cauliflower, and another yellow one seemed to be daikon curry. The green one was curry soup. The Diro set allows you to choose two types of curry, and I chose lamb and pork. It was between medium-spicy and spicy, and it's bone-in meat so you need to be careful when eating. The orange one had a sour taste, maybe for flavoring? Next to it was some oily fish? The yogurt was not sweet. There were various other toppings, offering a wide variety. After about 5 minutes, the Bara arrived, which was like a Nepalese-style omelette. It was more like a deep-fried pancake than a regular omelette. It was quite large for the price. I tried my best to finish it, but I couldn't eat about one onigiri's worth of the Diro. The total bill came to 2050 yen including tax, and I was able to pay by card. I would like to try other menu items next time, but I think I'll skip the additional orders.

Located along Okubo Street, between Shin-Okubo Station and Okubo Station, is a Nepalese restaurant called "Nanglo Gurkha." I visited for the first time around noon on a weekday. Upon entering the restaurant on the third floor, I noticed there was also a fourth floor designated for smoking. The third floor had 7-8 table seats with a mix of foreign and Japanese customers. The menu offered set meals such as Dal Bhat, Nepalese local cuisine set, Dhirobo set, and Samaebaji set, as well as various curries. I decided to go with the Chicken Curry, which was served with plain rice. The curry had a slight spiciness to it and was filled with chunks of chicken, which required some careful eating to avoid bones. The rice had a fluffy texture similar to potatoes. Overall, the meal was satisfying, although I found the curry sauce to be a bit lacking towards the end. Payment was made in cash as credit cards seemed to be accepted only at night.

Located 2 minutes from JR Sobu Line's "Okubo Station" and 2 minutes from JR Yamanote Line's "Shin-Okubo Station," Okubo is known for its Korean town but also has many Nepalese restaurants. One of the restaurants was selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog in 2019. We ordered the Nepalese local cuisine set which included salad, rice, lentil soup curry, lamb, chicken, pork curry, dry curry with potatoes and cauliflower, and Gundruk. The chicken and lamb were well-spiced and delicious with layers of flavor. We also ordered momo as an extra, which are Nepalese steamed dumplings similar to soup dumplings. They were spicy and tasty. Follow me on Instagram at kuidaore.8.

We used a all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat course for 3 people. We were so full that we had to decline dessert! Everything was delicious and we were very satisfied. The spiced grilled lamb was well-seasoned and would go well with wine.

Overwhelmingly, there are more locals than Japanese people, which guarantees the deliciousness! Especially in Shin-Okubo, with so many foreigners, you can enjoy authentic local cuisine. The curry, pizza-like okonomiyaki, lassi, all were excellent. The chai I ordered at the end was sweet and amazing. And the incredibly low prices, Japan is amazing.

Used for lunch on Sunday. Located on the third and fourth floors of a building, a bit hard to find, but a 5-minute walk from Shin-Okubo Station. The third floor was full so we were directed to the fourth floor. There were no Japanese people around, only people who seemed to be Nepalese, creating a mysterious atmosphere. Ordered the Nepalese full course set for 1300 yen. It arrived in about 6 minutes. The presentation of the meal was excellent! Very beautiful. Both the lamb and chicken curry were full of ingredients and delicious. Various side dishes were beautifully arranged on a silver plate, all of them tasty. The fact that smoking is allowed in all seats goes against the current trend, but it adds to the Nepalese vibe. Highly recommended.

Nanglo Ghar in Okubo, a popular Nepalese restaurant near Okubo Station, visited to try their authentic Nepalese dish set "Thakali khana". Started with a salad, and they even offered lassi as a service, nice touch! The THAKALI SPECIAL KHANA arrived in about 12 minutes, with a choice of two curries from mutton, chicken, or pork, and you can make it as spicy as you like. The set included Gundruk, green salad, dry curry of potatoes and cauliflower, chicken curry, lamb curry, bean soup curry, dessert, tomato pickles, ghee, and radish pickle, with rice and papadum in the center. Both the mutton and chicken curries were full of flavor and the tangy curries were incredibly delicious! The side dishes were also excellent. What impressed me the most was the dal and yogurt dessert, the dal was surprisingly tasty and the yogurt had the perfect level of acidity, making it a gentle end to the meal. And all of this for ¥1,300, quite reasonable. Enjoyed every bite, thank you for the feast!

★In Koreatown, there are many authentic Asian restaurants, and New Okubo has become a Koreatown with a variety of Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants. On this day, I went to buy spices in Islam Town and decided to have lunch with a friend. We chose a Nepalese ethnic cuisine restaurant that had high ratings on Tabelog. It was just past lunchtime, but there was only one other customer in the restaurant. According to my friend, who is knowledgeable about world cuisines, Nepalese cuisine is still considered minor in the culinary world, hence the quiet atmosphere in the restaurant. It's a bit sad to see such a good restaurant with few customers. ★For appetizers, we had Panipuri, which is famous as street food in India and Nepal. It's a unique food where a round dough is fried, a hole is made in it, and then it is filled with spiced potatoes and a tangy green water is poured over it. I like it so much that I even buy a set to have at home. ★Nepalese Local Cuisine Set We were indecisive but ended up choosing this set as we were craving curry. It looked like a generous portion with chicken and pork curry. There was also a lamb option. The curry in Nepalese cuisine is lighter in acidity compared to Indian curry, making it easier to eat for many people. They use plenty of spices, but it's not extremely spicy, just the right amount. There were many mysterious foods in the set, but the staff kindly explained each one in fluent Japanese. ★Nepalese Hospitality Cuisine "Samaebaji Set" My friend ordered this set, and it had more unknown flavors that are not commonly eaten in Japan. The dried rice was particularly surprising, as I thought it needed to be rehydrated before eating. However, when eaten with the side dishes, it had a snack-like texture and didn't feel as strange as I expected. Someone described this set as "Dry Bibimbap" on their blog, which was quite fitting. It made me realize the variety of foods in the world. It's a restaurant where you can awaken to the charm of spices. I ate each dish politely, but I would like to try mixing everything together next time. It seems like a great place to enjoy drinks and have a lively time in the evening. ⇒ Details are also available on my blog: https://dream-smileswitch.net/?p=2568

- Mutton curry 700 yen - Soup momo 600 yen - Panipuri 500 yen - Masala chai 300 yen I opted for the mutton curry without rice, but it was quite fatty, so having rice would have been better. There were plenty of bone-in mutton pieces in it. It was my first time trying panipuri, and it was fun, delicious, and enjoyable! The soup momo had a sesame dressing-like soup that was very tasty. The portion size was large, so I would like to come back with multiple people next time. I went around 3:30 PM and they were still serving lunch!

On Friday, it was 21 degrees Celsius and sunny. I entered a restaurant on the 3rd floor at 11:47, where there were 2 groups of 3 customers already inside. I ordered the Nepalese local cuisine set for ¥1,300. The Nepalese female staff seemed to be saying something, but I couldn't quite understand. Ah, I see, I have to choose 2 types of curry! I chose chicken and beans. After 3 minutes, a salad was served, and when I finished eating, the tray was brought to me. Alongside Thai rice, there were papad crackers in the center, surrounded by tomato pickles (medium spicy), Gundruk (fermented green vegetables - slightly spicy), dry curry of potatoes and cauliflower (mild), bean curry (not spicy), bone-in chicken curry (medium spicy), and bone-in pork curry (medium spicy). There was also pickled radish and yogurt. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nepalese local cuisine. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the restaurant at 6:00 pm on a weekday. It was still quiet at that time, but later many people with group reservations arrived, and before I knew it, the restaurant was full. They said it was okay to order the set menu even at night, so I had the Kazaset. I enjoyed Nepalese dishes and curry that I don't usually eat, and it felt like I was in a foreign country. I wanted to try other items too, but I was too full, so I want to come back to the restaurant again.

As I was wandering around Okubo, I was drawn to this suspicious-looking sign and decided to visit the shop! It seems to be a popular restaurant that has been selected as one of the top 100 curry restaurants on Tabelog in 2019. There are so many unique dishes on the menu that I had a hard time deciding what to order! After much deliberation, I decided to try the Tassu set, a mysterious dish. It consisted of lamb meat and mixed pap rice, with a rich flavor reminiscent of Southeast Asian cuisine. I thought it was delicious. I would love to try other dishes if I have the chance.

THAKALI SPECIAL MEAL Nepalese local cuisine set Choose 2 types of curry Lamb (MUTTON), Chicken, Pork Curry 1,300 yen Today I chose Chicken and Pork. Still delicious. I asked for a refill of rice.

I received a Kazasetto set. Overall, the spiciness is mild. The batmas are fluffy and the chicken has a firm and delicious texture. The achar is a type without much fermented taste. The altama body curry is made with regular bamboo shoots instead of fermented ones, so there is no sourness, which is a bit disappointing. Maybe this type is more appealing to those who are not used to it. I prefer the strong fermented smell type, but this one might be easier to eat.

Today's lunch was at Nanglo Garne Nepali Cuisine in Okubo. The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of a building, with a charming foreign atmosphere. There was only one other group of customers. We ordered the Dilo Set, which came with chicken and lamb curry. Dilo is made by boiling and rolling buckwheat flour, which is used as a local alternative to rice. The spicy curry is served with the Dilo. I wonder if rice would go well with it for Japanese people.

I had tried it once before, but it was during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, so I was staying home and had some free time in Shinjuku. After a few years, I decided to give it another try. Coming out of Shin-Okubo Station, turning left and going straight ahead on the left side, I entered the restaurant. There were two groups of customers already seated, all of them seemed to be locals. I ordered the Nepal local cuisine set (1300 yen), which included salad, rice, two types of curry, dal, potato and cauliflower dry curry, Gundruk (pickled mustard greens), tomato pickle, dessert (dairy product), and a choice of lamb or chicken curry. I chose lamb and chicken curry. The food was served promptly in about 5 minutes. I was surprised by the generous portion on the plate. The dal was mild, and even though I'm not a fan of cauliflower, I could eat the dry curry. The curries were filled with large chunks of meat, providing a satisfying meal. Both were delicious, but I slightly preferred the lamb (probably because I like lamb). The Achaar had a unique aroma, but with the help of the spicy Gundruk, I could enjoy it. The dessert was yogurt with mango sauce. I was full and satisfied after eating, and for the price (and being so close to the station), it was a great value. This place would be handy for having a meal at odd times. I would like to try the a la carte menu next time.

THAKALI SPECIAL KHANA Nepali local cuisine set Choose 2 types of curries Chicken and pork curry for 1,300 yen I didn't know, but when asked by the staff, I changed to rice and dal soup curry (free of charge). It was just right, and I was able to finish eating the curry and Gundruk (pickles)! I'm full after the last Nan Golgar of the year!

I stumbled upon a Nepalese restaurant just a 5-minute walk from Shin-Okubo and decided to try it out. Despite being featured on TV and listed in the top 100 restaurants in 2019, it was quite empty on a weekday, which made me a bit nervous. I ordered the Dal Bhat Set (¥900) and Panipuri (¥500). The Dal Bhat came with a salad and included lamb curry (choice of chicken or pork), bean curry, sautéed spinach, pickled radish, mixed cauliflower, green peas, and cabbage, and basmati rice. It was a generous portion, and the lamb curry was flavorful and tender without any gamey taste. The bean curry had a mild and comforting flavor, and all the side dishes were delicious. The rice portion was quite large, so I recommend ordering a smaller portion if you have a small appetite. I even took home the leftovers in an aluminum foil (not because I have a small appetite, just for fun). The Panipuri, a popular snack in India and Nepal, was a new experience for me. It is made by frying balls of dough made from buckwheat flour. The staff kindly taught me how to eat it: crack open a portion of the ball, fill it with potato filling, drizzle yogurt and pour in the cold soup before taking a bite. The potato had a slight spiciness, and the combination of tangy yogurt and spicy-sour soup created a unique and addictive flavor. The restaurant offers lunch until 4 pm and also has an all-you-can-eat option for dinner. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for those looking to enjoy Nepalese cuisine and experience a taste of travel adventure.

I made a reservation and headed to a Nepalese restaurant in Shin-Okubo to experience the Nepalese atmosphere. Despite the late hour, we were warmly welcomed. The 3480 yen course included: 1. Fresh green salad, 2. Spicy lamb dish with 12 different spices, 3. Spicy soybean dish which was extremely spicy but went well with alcohol, 4. Organic potato samosas made with rare baby bird meat, 5. Delicious steamed dumplings with a flavorful soup, 6. Pork dish similar to sweet and sour pork, 7. Assorted spicy chicken skewers, 8. Three dishes of your choice from the main menu, 9. Basmati rice. The course was a great value for money with plenty of food and drinks, leaving me fully satisfied.
