Curry mejin

A casual Indian curry and izakaya spot steps from Shintomicho Station, housed in the New Shintomi Building in Chuo. The interior is compact and unpretentious — counter seats and sunken seating — with a friendly neighbourhood vibe that draws local office workers for lunch and after-work drinks. The restaurant has gained TV coverage for its signature Curry Fried Rice: a mound of curry-spiced fried rice crowned with a turmeric-colored boiled egg, then drenched in rich curry sauce. The kitchen also serves biryani, chicken curry, and naan alongside shochu-based drinks, making it equally suited to a quick affordable lunch or a relaxed dinner.
