Mutton Baigan Curry

I visited here to eat Mutton Baigan Curry (マトン・ベイガン) around 13:00 on a weekday because I heard my older sister that it was tasty. The interior decoration had a warmth of woods. The restraunt have counter seats and table seats, and a lot of table seats are provided, too, so I guess that family customers also enjoy meals. I sat at a table seat, and ordered the Mutton Baigan Curry and Lassie. The prices were JPY 1496 in total.

Afer waiting for about 10 minutes, a dish of the carry, a dish of the naan, a dish of salad and a cup of the lassie were served. The curry used ferment soup for 2-3 days after an onion and a full ripeness tomato are stewed with about 30 kinds of spices for 10 hours, and is made from only vegetable juice without water. The good taste spreaded over slowly and carefully in my mouth when I had a bite. It was tasty! In addition, Indian chefs cooked a chewy naan scattered with sesame, and it had a nice texture and flavor. It was also tasty!

The Lassie made in Kimobetsu town was very rich taste, so I was a little surprised at the taste. In addition, free steamed potato that was famous potato brand stored under snow was served. They gave good service
