After building up a cult following with its bold and punchy curries at Carnism in Azabu-juban, Adi has opened its own venue in Nakameguro. The cosy restaurant serves modern Nepalese cuisine using local ingredients sourced from across Japan. Dinner is available from Wednesday through Saturday, with an omakase course priced at ¥15,000.
Lunch on weekdays are more affordably priced. The dal-bhat curry and rice lunch set will only set you back ¥3,300. The platter comes with a variety of dishes including a dal black lentil soup cooked with buffalo ghee and wild garlic, a cardamom-based chicken curry, two types of vegetables and three types of achar (South Asian pickles), all to be enjoyed with basmati and Japanese blended steam rice. Your meal also comes with chai, which you can have hot or iced.
