Setagaya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Spice Bar 317

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. Definitely going back! No I'm not a person who likes spicy food but spices and spicy is not the equivalent in this restaurant. Recommended the lamb kebab, shrimp Curry, the naan and the chai! These will be Staples and will be ordered every time we go back!

They have a wide range of drinks, that you don't see often in other Izakaya. Same with the tapas, with dishes from different countries as well. Everything we ate there was very delicious, special mention to the cheese naan and the humus. The bar is small and pretty popular, so depending on the time and day of the week, you might find it hard to get a seat.

This place gives me the same feeling that I get when I date a girl that's way too good for me, but she doesn't realize it. I feel like a lucky guy and I hope she doesn't realize I'm actually kinda a loser. I walk in, and it's a "I hope they don't realize I'm not as cool as them." This place is so cool it could teach hipsters how to be hipsters in a hipster workshop, without being ironic. Or maybe I just had a really good drink with good people here and my opinion is skewed. Really though, it's one of those spots you wont hit, generally, unless you've lived in Japan for a long time, or you know someone. Fortunately, I was the latter. The snacks are great and the drinks are top notch. I went here with two of the coolest cats I've ever met and the completed trifecta of food, drink, and company left an amazing aftertaste. Add that it was kind of hard to find and a rainy day in Tokyo and this could have been in a pretty artsy movie.
