ランチ🍱

<Additional note 2023.11.11 Cutlet curry lunch> We have been closed for a while, but we have resumed business. Please note that our business hours are now 11:35-1700 (orders stop at 16:30) when you go. Also, the price of the cutlet curry lunch was previously 1100 yen including tax, but it has changed to 1200 yen including tax. The amount and taste are the same as before, and it's as filling as a cutlet curry. I'm very satisfied. Ordered cutlet curry lunch. At first, I wanted to order a large size and when I said, ``I want a large size,'' she said, ``Our M size is the same size as other people's large sizes,'' and I flinched at that, so I said, ``Then I'd like a M size, please.'' That's what I mean. The result was correct. The cutlet is thick, crispy, and very delicious. I've eaten cutlet curry at about 5 or 6 curry specialty restaurants in Nara so far, but so far the cutlet here has the most volume and thickness, so I think it's the best. Masu. No matter how many times I eat it, there's still cutlet left over, and it's an amount I've never experienced at other restaurants. I think the large quantity is the owner's policy, but I think that not only the quantity but also the quality is sufficiently guaranteed. Although it's an Italian restaurant rather than a curry specialty store, I thought they were particular about their cutlet. I'm glad there's plenty of roux. I was worried that the temperature of the roux might be a bit lukewarm, and I wish it was a little hotter, since I like roux hotter. I think the taste is orthodox and will appeal to everyone. I would like to go back and try the fried chicken, chicken nanban, omelet rice lunch, and beef fillet lunch. It's a huge restaurant as rumored. <Additional note 2021.08.13 Omelet rice lunch> I ordered a large omelet rice lunch (Popolo style) for 990 yen (tax included). It's a satisfying amount. There are lots of shrimp inside the bright red rice with tomato ketchup. The shrimp are a little bigger and plump than those in Nissin Cup Noodles! It contains about that much. I kept breaking the rice and eating it, but the shrimp didn't break and there was plenty of it. My impression is that there were a lot of shrimp. The taste is delicious. After all, when you want to fill your stomach, popolo is the way to go. I will try other lunches as well. <Additional note 2021.08.23 Fried chicken lunch> I ordered a large serving of fried chicken lunch. One fried chicken is about the same size as 2.5 to 3 pieces at other restaurants. A large serving is 5 pieces. You can eat it with ponzu sauce filled with green onions. It's crispy fried, steamy, and juicy. It's fried because it's very delicious. By the time I ate three pieces of fried chicken, I had run out of rice and was about eight or nine minutes hungry. I tried my best to eat the remaining two pieces, but I was a little bored with the two flavors, one with plain fried chicken and the other with ponzu sauce. Personally, I think the food doesn't go well with salt, other seasonings, or sauces. I was the one who ordered the large portion, so I guess I can't help it... But it's a huge volume. I was surprised at the size of the cutlet in the katsu curry, but I was also surprised at the size and quantity of this fried chicken. It really fills you up. Recommended for those who like large portions.

I went to lunch with my wife on a weekday off after a long time. My wife had a healthy lunch and I had cutlet curry. The healthy lunch was small but had a wide variety of side dishes, and the miso soup made with lees soup was all delicious. On the other hand, the cutlet curry is a thick pork cutlet that is satisfying even on its own, and a roux with a perfect balance of sweetness and subtle spiciness. After-meal coffee for an additional 200 yen. It has a well-balanced taste, neither too bitter nor sour. The shop-made rusk that comes with the coffee is also delicious and an elegant after-dinner drink. Everything was very tasty and filling. Next time, I want to try omelet rice too.
