Kobe, Hyogo, Japan｜スパイスカレー専門店メリデ

A small and stylish spice curry shop located in Ikawadani, Nishi Ward, Kobe City. Visited around 13:00 on weekdays. The inside of the store is small, but the interior is stylish and tasteful, as you would expect from a female owner. The menu is simple, only curry. Moreover, only pork dal curry, butter chicken curry, and aigake curry are available. The rest is drinks. The tableware and presentation are simple and stylish, as you would expect from a female owner. I ordered Aigake curry and smoothie. The taste is outstanding! There aren't many ingredients, but since the main ingredient is curry, I like it. As long as the curry is delicious, I don't think it's a problem even if there are fewer ingredients. Both the pork dal and butter chicken have the flavor of various spices, and the spiciness is just right, making them really delicious! Eat less rice. I made it a large serving, but I think it would have been better if it was extra large... This is a type of curry with strong cilantro and flavor, so if you like Japanese-style curry, it might not suit you. Spice curry has become popular in recent years, and there are many restaurants out there, but personally, I think it's one of the top five in terms of deliciousness. There is a parking lot (about 2 cars?) behind the store. It's located in a remote part of Kobe, but if you like spice curry, it's worth a visit.

Visited on Saturday afternoon while running errands. There were about 5 parking spaces behind the store (2 of them actually had the store's name written on them)! There is a counter and table inside, and it has a stylish atmosphere! For curry, I ordered Aigake. You can adjust the spiciness by yourself, and the garnishes were delicious and I was very satisfied ☺️✨ My husband made a large portion and thought it was just right. That was it! The spiced lassi is also delicious and I would like to stop by again if I'm nearby!

I bought a takeout curry and a curry for the kids and went home. Since it's a spiced curry, I was worried what would I do if it was too spicy to eat, but it was a curry with a strong spice and nut flavor, and was easy to eat with just the right amount of spiciness. I wanted to eat cilantro, so it was perfect. The children's curry was so easy to eat that the child even had to refill it. They were both delicious. I want to eat at a restaurant next time.
