There’s a Kathmandu curry restaurant called “PUJA Koshien” near Koshienguchi Station.

Apparently, it serves authentic curry made by Nepalese chefs, along with naan baked in a tandoor oven.

They’re also scheduled to have a booth at the “Koshienguchi Bar & Marché” on November 10.

This time, we’d like to introduce Kathmandu Curry “PUJA Koshien.”

Kathmandu Curry “PUJA Koshien” Food

There are several lunch menu options, but this time I ordered the “Puja Lunch” (1,300 yen), which comes with two daily curries.

First up is the “soup.”

Lunch comes with “lassi.”

It has a yogurt flavor and goes really well with curry.

You can upgrade it to a regular size for an extra 100 yen.

This is the “Puja Lunch.”

The two curries are quite generous in portion.

This is the “today’s tandoor dish.”

It came with Nepalese-style stewed vegetables (I asked the name, but forgot it…) and tandoori chicken.

It’s deliciously spiced, but not hot.

This is the “salad.”

This one isn’t particularly Nepalese-style.

It’s a standard vegetable salad.

You choose two items from the daily curries.

First, this is the “Butter Curry × Beef.”

The richness of the butter and the savory flavor of the beef come together beautifully. It’s really good.

This is the “Kathmandu Curry × Chicken.”

This one seems to be the more classic curry of the two.

You can choose the spice level for any curry.

Level 1 is apparently standard, and I went with level 2, but even that wasn’t very spicy.

There’s also a sauce you can add to increase the heat, so you can adjust the spiciness yourself.

If you like spicy food, levels 3 to 5 might be a good choice.

And this is the “naan.”

It’s huge.

That’s just one piece.

Refills of naan are free, but even one piece is plenty filling.

For naan refills, they also have half-size and one-third-size portions.

I got a one-third-size naan refill myself, but I ended up completely stuffed.

It’s a delicious, filling, and healthy lunch.

Kathmandu Curry “PUJA Koshien” Menu

They offer lunch, dinner, and takeout, but this is the lunch menu.

Above all, it’s nice that naan is all-you-can-eat (a little confusing, though).

You can also choose the spice level, so if you like spicy food, why not try level 11?

Inside Kathmandu Curry “PUJA Koshien”

All seating inside is at tables.

It looks like this.

There’s also a private room toward the back.

It looks like they’ve been featured on TV too.

There was a notice for an order-style buffet.

It’s dinner-only, but if you’re a big eater, why not give it a try?

Kathmandu Curry “PUJA Koshien” Exterior

It’s located along a road a little away from the Koshienguchi shopping street.

Here’s what the exterior looks like.

It has a distinctive design.

For those coming by car, it looks like there’s parking here too.
