Kobe, Hyogo, Japan｜クエスト

A hidden gem in the basement. The chef is meticulous in his preparation of the dish, and the spice curry is excellent. It has tremendous depth of flavour and taste, and beautiful presentation. ¥1,200 for the chicken!

Accidentally found this place looking for somewhere to eat, and I’m so glad I did! A new restaurant serving the most incredible Spice curry. The chef puts so much effort and love in to the preparation and presentation, it’s a pleasure to watch and taste. Beautiful place, beautiful food.

A very satisfying spice curry that contains as much meat as possible. I was looking for Roshōki's meat buns, but I was drawn to the aroma of spices and entered the store. The store's logo and the stairs to the basement were a bit suspicious, and it took some courage to enter, but the inside of the store was stylishly decorated. All of them were so attractive that I couldn't choose, so I ordered 3 different combinations. ① Buff curry with the sweetness of apple as a secret ingredient. (Chicken keema and guinea fowl chicken) ② Shrimp bonito soup curry ③Vegetable pork curry. This one has peaches and bananas! The dashi curry was rather soupy, so it would have been great if I could have ordered it on a separate plate. Each one is so delicious that I wanted to try them separately! The side dishes are also luxurious. 3 types of pickles, 3 types of masala, potato sabzi, poriyal, green chili achar, etc... You can choose the spiciness of the curry, so even though I don't like spicy food, I was able to enjoy it. However, the green chili achar was really spicy...! I was sweating and feeling indescribably exhilarating. There was no lassi, so if you don't like spicy food but want something refreshing, it might be a good idea to bring along a bite of cheese as a talisman. The owner kindly said, ``It would be a shame if you ordered curry and there wasn't much meat in it.'' The meat was plentiful and I felt very satisfied. I'm a person who needs a balance between side dishes and white rice, so I ordered a second helping of rice. Many women may not be able to finish this dish, so we recommend that you discuss the amount of roux and rice before ordering. Thanks to the cheerful atmosphere of the owner, we had a fun lunch where we chatted with customers who happened to be there. It was a great memory in Kobe! thank you very much.
