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。
Born as a humble curry stand in the Asakusa underground, Kalpasi relocated to Kyodo and evolved into something altogether more serious.
浅草の地下街のカレースタンドから始まり、経堂に移転して本格的な形になった、知る人ぞ知る伝説的な店。
The seasonal, region-rotating course through Indian subcontinent cuisines — priced at around 3,500–5,000 yen — sells out within hours of a LINE announcement, with no traditional reservation system in place.
週替わり・月替わりでインド亜大陸の各地域料理を深掘りするコースは3,500〜5,000円前後で、LINEで告知された予約枠は即日埋まる。
Named to Tabelog's Curry Top 100, the shop has become a quiet benchmark for serious spice enthusiasts: have you been, or haven't you?
食べログカレー百名店にも選ばれており、スパイス料理の愛好家にとってはここを体験したか否かが一つの基準になっている。
