I have started a gourmet site for Mitomi Emon. Homepage "https://blog.33inc.jp/" Instagram "@mitomi_emon" Negombo33, a popular curry shop in Saitama, boasts the best curry in the area. Originating in Tokorozawa, a sister store opened in Koenji in 2018. Since then, they have expanded to Kawagoe and Shinjuku, showing ambition in growing their business. The Koenji store has a bright, cafe-like atmosphere with terrace seating, in contrast to the retro-style Tokorozawa store. The menu offers four types of curry: Lamb Keema, Pork Vindaloo, Pork Keema, and Beef Curry. Lamb Keema is the flagship item, Pork Vindaloo has won curry awards, and Pork Keema is said to be the best in Kawagoe. The use of beef, not commonly found in Indian curry, is also intriguing. However, you can rest assured as they offer a four-type combination. The Lamb Keema, with its coarsely ground lamb meat, stands out with the aroma of tomatoes and wine, along with ginger and pink pepper. It has a strong flavor and a refined lamb scent that even those who are not fond of lamb may enjoy. Moving on to the curries, from left to right: Chicken Keema has a clear taste with a rich flavor that pairs well with rice. The Pork Vindaloo is characterized by its noticeable acidity and strong richness, with tender beef that melts in your mouth. It is also notable for its abundance of onions, adding sweetness and a light texture. Each curry has its own unique personality, making it interesting. While Tokorozawa may be a bit far, Koenji is more accessible, making the taste of Negombo33 closer to home. I look forward to their future development. Thank you for the meal.

This restaurant is located near Koenji Station and offers spice curry and freshly roasted coffee. The original store in Tokorozawa has been selected as one of the top 100 stores. When I arrived at the restaurant around 7 pm on a weekday, there were only four small two-person tables and no other customers. It was my first time here, but the exterior looks like a cafe and is quite charming. The menu includes lamb keema curry, pork vindaloo, beef curry, and pork keema curry, with options for a two-curry combo, three-curry combo, or four-curry combo. I ordered a two-curry combo (1,600 yen) with lamb keema and pork vindaloo. The combo came with saffron rice, lamb keema curry, pork vindaloo, and side dishes of carrot rapé and radish achar. The lamb keema curry is made with coarsely ground lamb cooked in wine and tomato, seasoned with Sichuan pepper, ginger, and pink pepper. The unique flavor of the lamb is strong, but the spices are well-balanced and there is no hint of gaminess. It's really delicious, just as reputed. The pork vindaloo is a spicy and tangy curry with tender chunks of pork. The curry is spicy and tangy, which I really enjoyed. Both dishes were delicious, but I preferred the pork vindaloo. Only one more couple arrived after me, so the staff were not very busy, but I wonder if it gets busier on weekends. Koenji seems to have many high-quality curry restaurants like Kujira and Seiran. Thank you for the meal.

The two kinds of curry for 1600 yen were very delicious! But it might be a bit expensive. Just so you know, the three kinds of curry cost 2000 yen! I visited on Saturday at 12 o'clock and there was only one group of customers before me. I was prepared to wait in line based on the number of comments, but it was empty. I ordered the Lamb Keema and Pork Keema. They were delicious, but I felt the flavors were too strong for my taste.

I came to the restaurant with a friend, both of us are deaf, but the staff handled the situation with a smile and without any unpleasantness. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy delicious biryani without feeling uncomfortable. The taste is definitely at a 3-star level. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Two kinds of curry set for 1600 yen. I chose lamb keema and pork vindaloo. I purchased it from a ticket vending machine, but PayPay is also accepted. They also sell retort curry. I received a lot of delivery notifications. I enjoyed dining in alone. The menu is fixed so there was no confusion. Just had to decide which ones to choose. The food is kind and delicious. The atmosphere is also nice with cats around.

Just made it before closing time. The restaurant seems to have limited seating, so the turnover rate is not great. The Lamb Keema is incredibly delicious. I tried the Pork Vindaloo and two other dishes. Both were tasty, but the Lamb Keema stood out as the best. The spices and meat flavors come through strongly, pairing well with the spicy pickle. I'm curious to visit the main branch in Saitama. If you're a fan of Lamb Keema, this is the place to go!

I wanted to eat delicious curry and found a nice-looking restaurant in Koenji. It was crowded and the shop was small. I ordered the Boq Bindaloo for 1100 yen, with a free large serving option. It's easier to find a good curry shop than to make it from scratch. The curry looked nice and was tasty.

The retort curry here is incredibly delicious! I saw it online and decided to buy it, thinking I would like to try it someday. I found out that they have a shop in Tokyo! I visited on a Saturday around 2pm and there was no wait. - Assorted curry set (3 kinds) 2000 yen The lamb keema, pork keema, and pork vindaloo were all amazing. The spiciness and spice of the pork vindaloo, the tender pork, the lamb keema's aroma blending with various spices and rice, and the pork keema that goes down smoothly without any strong flavors. The ginger was a great accent. It was really delicious. Although 2000 yen is expensive, it was a treat! Thank you for the meal!

I drove to Koenji to eat curry at this restaurant. I actually wanted to go to the main branch in Tokorozawa, but I read reviews saying that the taste in Koenji is just as good. I parked my car at a nearby coin parking lot. It was around 12:45 PM on a Saturday afternoon when I entered the restaurant. There were 4 two-person tables and 2 groups of customers. The interior was cozy and comfortable. My friend and I ordered a two-curry set and tried all four types together. The beef and pork vindaloo were on the spicier side, with tender and flavorful meat. The lamb keema, which had a strong lamb flavor, was especially delicious. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant's closing time is 4:00 PM, so it's not possible to go after work. I tried a few times on my days off, but it was always full or there was a waiting list, so today was the day. Since Koenji is in my neighborhood, waiting is not an option. I ordered a mix of Pork Vindaloo and Lamb Keema. The Pork Vindaloo had a nice acidity, but it was a bit oily, which was disappointing. I really liked the Lamb Keema though. Hmm, I don't think I'll be going back. But if I do, I'll probably just go for the Lamb Keema for ¥1200, which I think is the best choice for me. Both Pork Vindaloo and Lamb Keema are available in retort pouches, so if you like them, it's a cheaper option. I'll give it a try.

I visited the famous curry restaurant Negombo in Koenji, Saitama for lunch on a Sunday. I arrived about 10 minutes after opening and was able to enter without waiting. I ordered my curry at the ticket machine near the entrance. On this day, I chose two types of curry: lamb keema and pork keema. The curry was served in about 10 minutes. The curry came with achar made from carrots and daikon, which had a spicy and tangy flavor that whetted my appetite. The curry itself seemed to be a no-water curry, cooked with minimal liquid to enhance the flavors. It absorbed just the right amount of fat and tasted delicious. The portion of curry was a bit small in my opinion. As for the rice, it had a strange chewy texture and felt a bit clumped together, which I personally didn't like. The total cost was 1500 yen, which may be considered a bit pricey considering the ongoing price increases.

Today I visited the renowned restaurant Negombo33 in Koenji, Saitama Prefecture. This restaurant operates with a food ticket machine system. I purchased the following food ticket and took my seat: 3 kinds of curry plate, with the option to choose from 4 different types. I selected the Lamb Keema, Pork Vindaloo, and Pork Keema. The Lamb Keema, which left a strong impression on me at the main branch, is a must-try. The plate includes Saffron Rice, 3 types of curry, and 2 types of Achar. First, the Lamb Keema, a delicious menu item with a hint of Sansho pepper. Although it was served at almost room temperature rather than piping hot, it was still delicious. The Pork Vindaloo and Pork Keema arrived steaming hot. The tender texture of the pork in the Vindaloo was irresistible. The Keema also had just the right amount of spice and was very tasty. Finally, I mixed everything together and enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you for the meal. The Pork Keema was also delicious.

After several years, I visited this restaurant again. This time I ordered lamb keema and pork keema curry. They are still delicious. Personally, I prefer the pork one, but the lamb one is also good without any strong smell, and it's easy to eat. The ginger adds a nice accent to the dish. They also sell retort pouches, so I might buy one next time.

A friend recommended a curry restaurant to me, which originally was in Tokorozawa. The most delicious dish was the lamb keema that my husband ordered. Despite being lamb, it had no gamey taste and was incredibly flavorful! I recommend getting a two-dish combo with one being the lamb keema and the other being something soupy like bindaloo. The prices are a bit high, so it would be nice if it were 100 or even 200 yen cheaper.

After the annual health check-up, I went to have lunch at a curry restaurant that I had chosen beforehand. I dashed to the restaurant, excited by the aroma of spices wafting from the front. I was so hungry and couldn't decide on just one curry, so I got a sampler of all four. Each curry was carefully prepared and filled with the rich flavor of spices. I devoured them all in one go. I'm already thinking about coming back next year.

I had some business in Koenji, so I decided to have curry since Koenji is known for it. I had tried biryani before, so I decided to try a different restaurant this time. I ordered a two-item combo for 1,600 yen, which included pork vindaloo and lamb keema, and a mango lassi for 600 yen. The lamb keema was quite salty, but it was perfect as a drinking snack. Thank you for the meal.

negombo33 Koenji branch. I finally visited the curry restaurant that I had been curious about! I was the first customer for lunch on a weekday. Today, I ordered the 2 curry set (1600 yen). I chose the lamb keema and pork vindaloo curries. They were spicy with a good amount of spices, but the flavor came first and was very delicious. The pepper was also a nice touch and made it addictive. The coffee was also delicious. It seems like they also have a cafe. The staff were all very friendly, and I found another restaurant that I want to visit again.

It seems to be a popular curry restaurant with a focus on Saitama. The name is distinctive (apparently a place name in Sri Lanka), which caught my attention so I decided to visit. They offer dishes like Lamb Keema, Pork Keema, Pork Pindal, and Beef Curry, with prices varying depending on the combination. The popular option is the 3-item combo for 2000 yen, but I thought it was a bit pricey so I chose the 2-item combo for 1600 yen. I was torn between the Lamb Keema and the Pork Keema, but I ended up choosing the Pork Keema, which is the most popular in Komazawa, and the Pork Pindal. Oops, I realized they were both pork dishes, but oh well, I waited for my order. I started with the Pork Pindal, and the first bite was surprisingly spicy, almost making me choke. It's spicy but delicious. The Keema curry was also spicy but more on the normal side. I think I prefer the Pork Pindal. Both dishes had a decent amount and were tasty. I would like to go back if I'm nearby, but in terms of cost performance, it might be a bit lower.

Saturday, 17°C, rainy weather. Arrived at the restaurant next to the weather shrine at 11:40, there were 4 customers inside. Upon entering, there was a ticket machine on the right side offering a 2-kind curry set for ¥1,600. I turned on the switch and selected 2 out of the 4 curry options with the staff. After 4 minutes, the dishes arrived - next to the turmeric rice (about 230g) were pickled carrots and chickpeas. The Lamb Keema curry had a hint of shiso flavor with pink pepper on top, while the Beef curry had 3 slices of meat and a mild spiciness level of 1.0. It was a well-balanced and stylish curry. Thank you for the meal. I forgot to ask the Sri Lankan monk who came with me for his thoughts...

On this day, I went to a rock bath in Ogikubo and stopped by this restaurant on the way back. I had heard that Ogikubo, Koenji, and Asagaya are secret curry battlefields, so I wanted to try all the curries in this area. Although I originally wanted to go to another curry shop, it was closed at the time, so I ended up at this restaurant. It's a small shop, but quite stylish from the outside. It seems that the shop was originally in Tokorozawa, Saitama, and is quite famous among curry lovers. The interior is very compact, and surprisingly they have a ticket machine like in ramen shops. I ordered the lamb keema curry and took a seat. Soon, the curry arrived! It looks colorful and really stimulates the appetite. When I took a bite, the spiciness and the richness of the lamb hit me all at once. The flavor of the lamb really goes well with curry, doesn't it? The plate has a Sri Lankan curry-like appearance, and the ingredients used give off that vibe too. It's a small shop, but it's full of style and you can also use it as a cafe, so why not visit while taking a stroll in Koenji?

I had been curious about this curry restaurant for a while. I visited before going out for drinks. I bought a meal ticket and, of course, ordered the extra-large portion. I usually go for the 2-curry combo with extra rice because the regular portion is never enough for me. The curry turned out to be spicier and hotter than it looked, so the extra-large portion was definitely the right choice. Thank you for the meal.
