There was a training session in Koto-ku, and on the way back, I visited this place that I had been wanting to try for a while. It was a weekday evening and the restaurant had just opened, so I was seated at the counter quickly. I ordered my favorite Butter Chicken Curry with Tandoori Chicken, and chose the Gorgonzola Kulcha from the various types of bread available. While waiting, I could smell the spices and fragrant aromas which stimulated my appetite. The dishes that were served all had delicious aromas. The Tandoori Chicken was juicy and tender when I took a bite. Adding the mint sauce gave it a refreshing flavor. The Butter Chicken Curry had a relatively smooth finish with a perfect balance of acidity and richness. The spices were not overpowering, so even those who are not fond of spices would enjoy it. And then there was the Gorgonzola Kulcha. This was a big hit for me! The crispy yet chewy texture, along with the balance of cheese's saltiness and honey's sweetness, made it irresistible. It tasted delicious on its own or dipped in the curry. The sweet and savory Gorgonzola Kulcha was so delicious that I would definitely want to come back for more!

The daily special curry with oysters and eggplant was really delicious. I have observed that the seafood curry (with shrimp and oysters) in the daily special lunch at Kamal Pool tends to be very tasty. It's a good deal with two decent-sized oysters included for 950 yen (for two curry options). Just a tip for those looking to have lunch there.

It's a common thing that even though a restaurant is nearby, we never end up going there. On a rainy Saturday, I decided to finally visit a nearby restaurant. I arrived a little before 11 am and found nobody there, but suddenly a crowd started forming at exactly 11 am, and by 11:10 am it was fully packed. I ordered the daily special lunch set with two curries and added Gorgonzola kulcha on the side. The daily specials were mutton keema and chicken curry. I found the mutton keema a bit challenging (2.5) and the chicken curry was average (3.0). The Gorgonzola kulcha was surprisingly good (3.5). I usually get cheese naan for lunch at work, but this Gorgonzola kulcha was a nice change. The cheese was sweet and delicious, and as some reviews mentioned, it was good enough to eat on its own. The cheese was so generous that it overflowed when I tried to dip it in the curry, so in the end, I just ate the naan by itself.

Finally, it has started to cool down, so I went to a curry restaurant that I had been interested in. Thanks to everyone who posted their reviews on Tabelog, I was able to order without any hesitation. Before the curry arrived, I had a glass of lassi! It was so delicious that I finished it quickly and immediately ordered a mango lassi! I grew up with the Prince of the Stars curry, so I don't like spicy food, but I love oysters and eggplants, so I changed my order to the 3-curry option. I also changed my naan to Gorgonzola. Among the three, the most delicious one was the sweet cabbage in dal (bean) curry! (^^) /

This is a restaurant among the top 100 in 2022. It is an Asian restaurant that was featured in "The Lonely Gourmet". I finally came for lunch as I was curious about it. I chose the Kamal Lunch for 850 yen and added two types of curry for an extra 100 yen. I could choose between spicy, medium-spicy, and mild flavors, so I chose spicy and medium-spicy. The Kamal Lunch includes the curry of the day, naan, rice, and salad. The naan was soft and fluffy, and the rice was saffron rice. The spicy curry was pork curry with a delayed spiciness. The pork was tender. The medium-spicy curry was chicken curry with a strong flavor of spices. It was a great value lunch.

The former employee of the renowned Kyoto Bridge restaurant "Dav India," which closed in April 2023, now runs a creative Indian cuisine restaurant called "Kamalpur," which means "lotus flower" in Indian. Lotus is also the national flower of India, and there is a god standing on a lotus flower in Hinduism. The restaurant gained fame for its cheese kulcha featured in "The Lonely Gourmet," and it is now a popular spot with customers flocking in daily. Lunch starts at 850 yen, with the option to add extra charges for changing curry types or upgrading to kulcha bread. The three curry options come in three levels of spiciness, making it suitable even for those who are not fond of spicy curries. I am a big fan of Goro-san, so I was looking forward to my lunch here. I visited just before 1 pm on a Saturday and was seated right away. Since it was a Saturday, I could also order from the a la carte menu, so I decided to try a variety of dishes. - Kamal Lunch: 1 curry 850 yen + upgrade to cheese kulcha 200 yen Mild mushroom dal curry - Rasam 450 yen Spicy and sour South Indian soup - Tandoori Veggie 750 yen Tandoori grilled assorted vegetables - Tandoori Roti (whole wheat bread) 400 yen The tandoori roti looked simple but was surprisingly delicious, with a slight sweetness and moist texture that paired well with any curry. The rasam was a refreshing favorite of mine, with its stimulating spiciness and tangy acidity making it easy to drink. The tandoori veggies were not too spicy and had a nice crunch to them. Overall, I was impressed by the quality that exceeded my expectations. I definitely want to visit again.

Hello, this is Numao. Nine years ago, Goro-san visited Tandoor Bar "Kamalpur" in Kiba, a famous Indian curry restaurant featured in a certain late-night food drama on TV Tokyo. Finally, the time has come for me to visit as well. It's located about a 5-minute walk from Kiba Station. I managed to avoid the trap of a couple of other curry restaurants on the way and arrived at Kamalpur without much of a wait. It felt like I was being called to India, haha. Setting jokes aside, I quickly placed my order. I ordered the medium-spicy chicken curry with cheese kulcha from the lunch menu, and of course, a mango lassi to drink. I also ordered two types of tandoori chicken as a side. On this day, the daily curry specials were pork keema (spicy), chicken curry (medium-spicy), and mushroom dal curry (mild). The tandoori chicken was juicy and perfectly spiced, and I eagerly awaited the main dish. It arrived in about 5 minutes. Finally, the moment of truth. The cheese kulcha and saffron rice were a nice bonus. The chicken curry had just the right amount of spice. The cheese in the freshly baked kulcha melted beautifully, adding to the deliciousness. I also ordered an additional gorgonzola kulcha with honey, which was a tasty combination of salty cheese and sweet honey. However, I realized that my expectations had been built up too high over these past 9 years. The curry was a bit on the lighter side and not as rich as I had hoped. Personally, I would have liked it to be more flavorful and to have more of a connection with the kulcha. I vaguely remember the owner mentioning in a later segment of the drama that they serve dishes like the ones people eat every day in India, which may explain the lighter and more subtle flavors. Perhaps I expected too much. It was good, but not as mind-blowing as I had anticipated after 9 years (laughs). Maybe other curries on the menu are different. This time, my impression is that it was just decently delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Butter chicken curry cruncha Gorgonzola cruncha Butter chicken curry was the lightest butter chicken I've ever had. It's very delicious with a balance of sweetness and strong spices. The cruncha is chewy and filled with plenty of cheese. It also has garlic mixed in, so it stays delicious until the last bite. The Gorgonzola cruncha doesn't have a strong Gorgonzola flavor, so even those who don't like blue cheese might enjoy it. Both crunchas are filled with plenty of cheese and are really chewy and delicious.

This restaurant is addictive, I keep coming back for more. I think it's the best Indian curry place. For lunch, you can choose from three types of curry, but I finally realized that the spicy one is the most delicious, so I always go for the spicy shrimp and eggplant curry. I always switch the mango lassi for the gorgonzola kulcha. And I even tried the rasam this time. They also have cold options in the summer, but I prefer hot. The food is consistently delicious. I wish I could carry the rasam in a water bottle everywhere I go.

------------------------- ◻️Shop Name: #Kamalpool ◻️Location: 6-minute walk from Kiba Station ------------------------- ◻️Review I visited this place for lunch on a Saturday. When I arrived around 12:30, there were about 2 groups waiting in line. Luckily, I was able to get in without waiting for more than 5 minutes. #LunchCurry The lunch set includes curry, salad, naan, and rice all in one plate, which is a great deal. There are three types of curry available: mild, medium spicy, and spicy, and you can choose one or have a combination of two or three. The prices are 850 yen for one, 1,150 yen for two, and 1,450 yen for three. The options on this day were: Mild: Mushroom Dal Curry Medium Spicy: Chicken Keema Curry Spicy: Eggplant and Shrimp Curry *You can also upgrade the naan to Gorgonzola Kulcha by paying an additional 300 yen. The Gorgonzola with honey is really delicious. Both the curry and the kulcha were incredibly tasty. This place is worth visiting even if it's far away. #Curry #Kiba #KibaGourmet #KibaLunch #Toyocho #ToyochoStation #ToyochoLunch #ToyochoGourmet #TheLonelyGourmet #AdStreetHeaven #Lunch #Gourmet

On a hot Monday afternoon in midsummer, I decided to try having lunch at a restaurant that usually has long lines. Surprisingly, there was no line today, so I chose the "Chicken Curry (medium spicy)" from the three options available. The naan bread was perfectly crispy and the curry was delicious as always. The fact that the naan was served freshly baked quickly was also a plus for a weekday lunch. It was a great experience enjoying curry on a hot day.

I visited for lunch on a weekday. Before 12 o'clock, there were 2 people waiting, but the turnover was good so we were able to get inside in 2-3 minutes. I heard that the cheese katsu is recommended, so I changed the naan and tried 3 different curries, all of which were delicious! The turmeric rice was well seasoned and went perfectly with the light and flavorful curries. The cheese katsu was of high quality! I can see why everyone recommends it. I had a great lunch. I would like to visit again in the evening next time!

Chibi went and I'm writing on their behalf. Ordered item: Kamal Lunch for 850 yen. Changed curry to three types (+200 yen). Changed naan to cheese kulcha (+200 yen). Mango lassi for 300 yen. Total: 1550 yen. Within 10 minutes of opening, all seats except the counter were filled. The curry was on the watery side, more like a spiced soup. It made me wonder if it was like this when I had it before. The cheese kulcha was fluffy and delicious.

I ordered the Kamardina set (2,500 yen) with an additional Tandoori Chicken (350 yen). There were two types of Tandoori Chicken, both very delicious. The curries were Butter Chicken, Lamb Mint, and Mackerel from left to right. They were all very tasty, but the Lamb Mint curry, which is their specialty, was particularly delicious.

A famous restaurant featured in "The Lonely Gourmet." A must-try is their Cheese Katsu. Unlike other similar restaurants, they seem to use Japanese rice for their turmeric rice. Personally, I prefer rice that is more separate. Overall, it was delicious!

I shivered because I bit into a green chili pepper. If you go around 8 o'clock, there won't be a line and you can get in smoothly. I ordered the famous mackerel curry, butter chicken curry, cheese kulcha, naan, and basmati rice. The curries cost around 1200-1500 yen. They arrived in about 10 minutes. The cheese kulcha had a garlic butter flavor and was loaded with cheese. The curries were thin in consistency. The mackerel curry was watery but had a nice fish broth flavor, making it easy to eat. When you mix the basmati rice well, the dry rice soaks up the sauce and becomes easy to eat. The butter chicken was sweet and easy to eat. Both curries were delicious! ^_^

First visit at night. Almost full even on a weekday night! Dinner set for 2500 yen includes 3 types of curry, naan, rice, salad, and a drink. Added cheese kulcha for 300 yen and 2 types of tandoori chicken for 350 yen! Also ordered lamb dumplings for 660 yen. Tried a Kamal Lassi, a lassi with a hint of rose flavor. The curries were butter chicken, mackerel curry, and lamb mint, which are fixed. All were delicious! The mackerel curry seems to be a specialty, but I liked the butter chicken the most. It had a slight spiciness and uniqueness. The lamb mint was also quite good, with a refreshing hint of mint and no lamb smell. Both tandoori chickens were tasty, with a different spice profile than usual. They were great with basil sauce. The lamb dumplings were also delicious, especially with basil and spicy sauces. Both cheese kulcha and regular naan were tasty. I would love to come back here to try different curries.

The restaurant was as bustling as ever, and the owner took great care of us, ensuring we had a delightful time. They promptly brought out the next dish when our plates were empty, explained unfamiliar dishes, asked if the portion size was okay for just the two of us, and efficiently provided the souvenirs we requested. The curry was delicious, and I would not hesitate to bring anyone here as it was a great dining experience.

The lunch set (with 2 additional curries, cheese naan substitution) for 1,250 yen is delicious. It includes spicy (seafood), medium spicy (chicken keema), and mild (bean) curries with rice and cheese naan. All the curries are tasty, but the seafood curry with plenty of shrimp, clams, and oysters stands out. The cheese naan with garlic and cheese is also delicious. I look forward to trying the lamb mint curry next time in the evening.

It's a 5-minute walk from Kiba Station. I arrived 30 minutes before opening and was the first in line. This place was featured on "The Lonely Gourmet" and has three Indian cooks, giving off a foreign atmosphere. Today's special was the Kamal Lunch for 850 yen, with the option to upgrade to extra rice for free, add 3 types of curry for 200 yen, and change the naan to cheese kulcha for an additional 200 yen, bringing the total to 1250 yen. The portion size is great for the price. The cheese kulcha was heavy and filled with gooey cheese, which was delicious with the slightly burnt parts of the naan. The three curries - spicy pork, medium-spicy chicken, and mild spinach dal - were tasty on their own but even better when mixed together. I struggled to finish the large portion of rice, but managed to do so. It was a delicious meal from start to finish. Thank you for the meal. I'm stuffed.

I forgot to take photos of half of the dishes! I was hungry, so I ordered the lamb meat first and devoured it... I enjoyed curry with basmati rice and roti. I was with a friend today, so we chose lamb keema and mackerel curry to share. The roti was so chewy, almost like naan. The portion of basmati rice was quite small... It seemed like the flavors were adjusted for Japanese people, which is understandable. Personally, I think once you try it, it's enough. I prefer a more hearty style of curry from another country. The oyster stir-fry was delicious.
