Curry Spice Gelateria KALPASI

Rating90SCORE
WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
A genuine original in Tokyo's curry scene, KALPASI opened its flagship in Chitose-Funabashi in 2015 and has built a loyal following across Setagaya and Shimokitazawa.
2015年に東京・千歳船橋に本店を構え、世田谷・下北沢を中心に確固たる支持層を築いたカレー界の革命児。
What sets it apart is simple and unprecedented: combine seasonal curry with handmade gelato, change the menu every week, and trust regulars to keep pace.
毎週変わるメニューと「カレーとジェラート」を組み合わせるスタイルは唯一無二で、食べログ全国カレー部門3位・カレー百名店という評価を受けながら、2種盛り1,500円前後という価格は「全国3位でこの値段は破格」と言われる。
Tabelog has ranked it third in the nationwide curry category and named it a Curry Hyakumeiten, yet a two-variety plate runs around 1,500 yen — a price that first-timers and veterans alike describe as impossible for what's on the plate.
開店前から行列が並ぶ日も多く、整理券が配られることも珍しくない。
Lines form before opening, numbered tickets appear when demand peaks, and the X timeline fills steadily with posts that say nothing more than that they went again.
Xには「また行った」系の常連投稿が絶えず、一度訪れた人が繰り返し足を運ぶ磁力を持つ店だ。

Fake reviews removed

The Shimokitazawa branch of legendary Chitose Funabashi curry shop 'Kalpasi'. Opened in June 2020. Chef Kurosawa's South Indian-style spice curry paired with creative spice gelato is an utterly unique experience. Ranked #3 in Japan on Tabelog's curry category.

'The spice gelato is unlike anything I've tasted — mixing it into the curry creates a whole new experience.' 'Tabelog's #3 nationwide curry ranking is completely deserved.' Undisputed top of Shimokitazawa's legendary curry scene. Tabelog: 3.82 (1,877 reviews).
