Deep Kyoto

Ad example

Kerala Indian Restaurant

October 20, 2010 by Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

Mewby and I ventured over to this fine establishment one evening when  we were badly in need of a curry fix. Hands down this is the best Indian food I’ve eaten in Kyoto. The service is excellent too. The waiter (a charming, soft spoken chap) actually took the time to talk us through the various items on the menu and give his own recommendations. Here’s what we got.

Vegetable Samosas ~ I can’t eat Indian without them!

Machli Tikka – delicious grilled pieces of spicy white fish!

Mewby’s choice ~ Mutton Saagwala ~ Mutton cooked in spinach.

My choice ~ Vegetable Jalfry ~ mixed veggies cooked in onion & tomato sauce.

All served with delicious herb naan bread.

Kerala isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for and I think it was worth every yen I spent in there. If you feel like paying a little bit extra and spoiling yourself to the very best curry in town, this is the place for it. You can check the menu and prices for yourself here. How satisfied were we? Just take a look at that happy smiling face!

Kerala is situated on the second floor of the KUS building a short walk south of Oike on the west side of Kawaramachi. Click here for a map.
