Nara, Japan｜Curry & Cafe Koruri

I cannot say enough about this cute cafe hidden in Nara. This husband and wife team make the best curry in Nara, as well as delightful tea and desserts. It’s a must go. The service is outstanding and they made us feel right at home. I left feeling well fed and immediately relaxed from the atmosphere. They gave us a beautiful origami at the end of our meal and played the Beatles on the guitar. A once in a lifetime experience, truly. Thank you again!

What an absolute find on Google maps on a very hot day in Nara! The cafe is located on a quiet side street and was a welcome respite from a lot of walking around the city. The owners were so lovely and welcoming (we were the only ones there) and were very considerate of us drinking enough water and taking our time before continuing with our day. There are only four curries to choose from (one of which is vegetarian). We ordered the three meat ones and all were delicious. My favourite however was the one we got as a half size: pork with sake lees - such a unique and deep flavour. We will come back!

Lovely place, tasty food, very kind owner lady with her husband. If you’re in a mood for something cozy and homely you will love it!! Also curry is absolutely delicious
