01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Karii Shokudo’s signature Karii Chicken Curry layers South Indian-style spices. Diners who have tried it describe the bone-in chicken as so tender it comes away easily, with the texture and aroma of whole spices making a lasting impression. Some find the spices assertive and the curry quite hot. You could savour the signature curry on its own, or add side dishes for a change of flavour as you eat.

Karii Rice is a simple combination of curry, rice and side dishes, while a Karii Plate pairs your chosen curry with side dishes. Cabbage and small fish dressed in spiced oil, and Indian-Chinese stir-fried garlic shoots with mustard seeds, are also suggested as options to mix into the curry.

For another flavour, try an ai-gake, combining the signature curry with the monthly special. The changing curry varies by season; menu examples include a rich take on rasam espresso and a dish with coarsely ground pork and plenty of bitter melon. Whether you stick with the house favourite or combine it with side dishes or a monthly special, there is room to explore the spices in your own way.
