This vibrant establishment is celebrated for its diverse and original curry lineup, including its signature spicy and healthy "Wakakusa Curry" (a green, spinach-based curry praised for its balanced spiciness and depth), coconut milk chicken curry, mild curry for children, baked curries, and extra spicy lamb brown curry. Popular curry bread and curry ramen are also available. Reviewers note its unique green appearance and the evolving flavors, from initial mellowness to a pleasant spicy kick, as you eat.
