カリー アップ

Curry shop owned by Nigo. I usually stop by here every time I visit Tokyo to get my curry fix. The butter chicken curry is delicious and the atmosphere is laid back. Highly recommend.

Small place that seats six at the counter and fourteen at tables of two with bench seating along a wall. Serves a mix of Indian and Japanese curry - do not expect Japanese Katsu Curry. S-M-L ranging 800 to 1500¥ cash.

Only gripe is that their is not much meat in the curry.

Nice, clean, ambiance with helpful servers and reggae music in the background. I asked if the restaurant was a chain thinking of a Curry Up in San Francisco and it was a chain; however, a chain of three restaurants in Tokyo.

Service (1 star)
This venue accommodates water, dishware, and silverware at an appropriate pace. They essentially serve you with everything you need and then leave you to your culinary experience. They provide the Japanese-politeness standard with little English, but have English menus available with pictures.

Food quality (1.5 stars)
The food was nicely presented and tasted as I expected curry to taste. I really enjoyed the fusion-curry theme. I highly recommend any of the dinner combination plates that is not available during lunch (before 1700).

Ambiance (1 star)
The theme of Curry Up is "Reggae meets the 60s" which is consistent with how their food is served. Honestly we were initially looking for chicken katsu curry, but we're pleasantly surprised to this treat. They serve Indian and Japanese type curry in a special fusion presentation that you could only expect with the creative and imaginative New Japan. The food is priced and themed well. Combination plates have two curries served on a flat dish with a 2 inch high lip. The curries are separated by a bed of rice. Eating the curry and rice leads to eventual blending of the two curries- I'm unsure if that was intentional, but it was reflective of how the restaurant blended their music choice, furniture, and curries mixed together to provide the patrons a relaxed and warm feeling.

Rounding up the 3.5!

Very good curry and friendly service. Only downside is that they do not put enough meat in the meals and they only have one beer (Kingfisher). But honestly, it was so delicious, I'm going back in two days.
I had the small and it was perfect for me. My cousins had the medium (they're two 20 year old dudes) and thought it was the perfect size for them. Price ranges from 900 yen to about 1300 yen if you decide to mix meats and get larger sizes.

Excellent food at an excellent price. Had the butter chicken and it was just right; not too potent and not bland. Would recommend for anyone seeking comfort food.

Great tasting butter chicken curry. Friendly staff and fast service. Portions are generous. Would definitely recommend
