SHANTI — Restaurant in Kawasaki

Over my last 10+ years living in Tokyo, I have tried many a delicious curry so it is rare for me to get surprised. Good curry is just an expectation, but imagine my surprise that on a random Sunday afternoon walk about in Nobrito, I might have arguably discovered the best curries in all of Tokyo. Yes, I might be over emphasizing just a titch, but Shanti blew me away. I tried the three curry plate. My favorite was the spicy chicken curry(jerk?); it has a legitimate spice/heat to it, hotter than most Japanese curries I have tried. The stewed chicken curry was a counter to the spicier option. The rye was a little thicker and it had great flavor. The plum dal curry was the weakest of the three but still quite good. A solid curry to switch to if the heat gets too much. In addition to the curry, the restaurant is filled with natural light, music, and the chatter of a happy clientele, though a fellow foreigner seemed very unhappy about her life work balance. Oh, the staff is friendly...

So so so nice! They just renewed the place, which was really nice. Their chicken curry was SO good I ate it all before taking a picture :( so much flavour! The desserts were also delicious! The cheesecake wasn’t just a regular cheesecake, it was so creamy, light and it had a great texture. The chocolate dessert was also great, and the presentation was also really nice. Good vibes, very nice people and nice view. 100% will...

My friend and I came here on a Monday afternoon after walking along the river. It’s a lovely place in a quiet neighborhood with a few outdoor tables. My friend ordered the vegetarian dal curry and I had the taco rice, and we shared a small bowl of hummus and crackers. Everything was really tasty and perfect portions for lunch. They also offer a nice variety of salads, snacks...
