Casual place - Edit
Of the two curries for vegans I liked the red one most - sesame vegetable curry. Got it again the day after as takeout. Uncomplicated and casual place to eat especially if you travel with people who aren't vegetarian or vegan as they have lots of options.

Good curry - Edit
There are two vegan curries that are clearly listed and then an option to get both in a combination curry. I got the combination curry, which was delicious. The staff were friendly and the curry was cheap.

Best meal in Japan - Edit
After a few too many tempura, tofu and sweet egg sandwiches being able to have a hearty filling curry after our day out in Nara and Uji near to the station home to Kyoto was wonderful. There are two vegan curry options (you can get both together) and they both the perfect level of spice served with fluffy white rice and steamed vegetables. At the table you can add more spice and nut oil if you desire. If we were staying in Nara we would certainly eat here again (and again) I wish I could give it 5 stars!!!
Read morePros: Flavour , Spice, Atmosphere
Cons: Casual diner, classic Japanese eatery with counter

Not open - Edit
On Monday it had (in spite of opening hours) a note: sorry, closed. The next day it was closed again, the owner clearly visible in the restaurant looking at his smart phone, not reacting whatsoever
Read morePros: Menu looks nice
Cons: Closed all the time

Tasty curry - Edit
Allergens are clearly listed on the menu so it's easy to know if a dish is vegan or not. I tried the sesame vegetable curry and enjoyed it a lot. The restaurant is very cute, but they do takeout as well!

Vegan options are decent - Edit
One vegetarian curry is spinach based and the other is red and creamy, more similar to traditional Japanese curry. They are good but not great. We ordered a side of potato fried salad which was amazing, I would highly recommend this. The Nara plum liquor was also very tasty.

Tasty Japanese curries - Edit
Even if not very nutritious, the curries are tasty and contain fresh ingredients. They are only spicy for people who have never been in contact with chili before. But you can spice them up.

Nice curry - Edit
I really liked the curry there, it was (not too much) spicy.
Read moreI had the double veggie curry which means you have both of the vegetarian options on the plate, the rice between them.
There were some vegetables on it and you can order the spinach curry without garlic and without spicy.
It was a huge portion and even I got full.
Pros: You must not choose - can have it both ways

Delicious curry - Edit
Easy to find. Vegetarian options are on separate page in the menu which has English text for everything. Took a salad and double veggie curry, portion size was quite right to fill me up after day in Nara park. Price is reasonable.
Read morePros: Staff knows some English. Quantity of rice can be , adjusted (price drops down accordingly)., They have fresh salad on the menu.

Metcha-oishii! - Edit
Clean and cozy curry shop in a convenient location near Kintetsu-Nara station on the way towards the park, inside the shopping arcade. Food is quickly made to offer and even during busy times, we did not have to wait long.
Read moreThey only have two vegetarian curries to choose from (or you can have both on the mixed plate) but they were both so delicious we ended up eating here several times during our stay in Nara. My personal favorite was the spinach and bean curry. If you eat eggs, the omurice is also delicious and comes with a curry of your choice.

Loved my curry - Edit
Really yummy, good serving, not too pricey. Had the mixed veg one, where you get both. The spinach one was better but both good. The hot paste and nut oil was also really good. Great option if traveling with omnis.

Delicious and cheap veggie curry - Edit
Delicious flavourful spinach and bean curry, which was very reasonably priced (780 yen with a small portion of rice, or 880 yen with a standard rice poportion). Husband had the sesame vegetable curry, which was richer and slightly less spicy. I preferred the spinach curry.
Read moreFriendly and informal place, with very quick service. Highly recommend for a filling, tasty and cheap meal in Nara.

This place is great! - Edit
Ordered: Spinach and bean vegetarian curry (they say it’s vegetarian, but it’s vegan too) with a small serving of rice. You can specify the amount of rice you want — half, small, regular, large, or extra large. Got a curry with a spinach based sauce. Had chickpeas and kidney beans in it and was topped with pumpkin, okra, fried potato, and bell pepper. All one slice of each.
Read moreFirst thing I noticed here was that the menu is super inclusive. There is something for vegans/vegetarians, omni’s, halal (no pork options), hindu (no beef options), and people with allergies. The menu is also in English and allergens are written beside each entry.
There are two veg options: a spinach/bean curry, and a mixed veg curry. Curry is TASTY but also a little bit spicier than your regular run-of-the-mill Japanese curry (my non-veg aunty ordered one of the hotter curries and said it was hot even for her Burmese/Indian standards). The heat level of the curry is written on the menu though, and you can always ask the staff to make the curry more/less spicy if you’d like.
Good value for money! For the portions you get, the price is pretty good. The small sized rice kept me full for quite a while!
Keep in mind that this place is small to medium sized. Could probably seat 20 people at most. For those who are interested, this place is Tripadvisor recommended but I can’t remember for what year.
Love this place, and love Nara too! Would rate 5/5 if I could because of the menu's inclusiveness and flexibility with customising your order.
More pros are listed here since I couldn't add more than 3.
- Not too far from Kintetsu Nara station and also close to other places with vegan options (Kururu, China Dining Hiten, LBK Craft, Zen, CoCo Ichi)
- Large portion sizes and good value for money
Pros: Easy to find & good central location, Super inclusive menu & allergens clearly listed, Flexible with order customisation
Cons: Stingy with the veggies they topped the curry with, Not an issue though, because they weren't, stingy with the spinach or beans!
