Has shrimp plate, out of curry

Visited today. Out of veggie curry at 4pm. Had a shrimp and mushroom curry, not vegetarian anymore. Specified vegan when ordering. Incense smell noticeable if that is bothersome to you. Plus one for telling me the ice cream float was real dairy when I tried ordering (forgot it was pescatarian here). Falafel plate and pita were delicious. Three beer options, one from California!

Cons: has shrimp

Sorry for the late reply. Sorry the veggie curry is sold out. We are handmade, so when we have a lot of other customers coming in, we are sold out. And no, we are not a vegan/vegetarian specialty cafe. We recommend the falafel plate, falafel pita, handmade ginger ale, mango juice and lychee juice. (Those are regular menu items for vegans/vegetarians).

Thank you for visiting.

Cool place!

A little out of the way of the tourist attractions in Nara, but a nice and chill place to get dinner/drinks. The owner is pretty chill and friendly, and asked me if I was vegan or vegetarian to make sure dairy was okay. I had the falafel plate, and my husband had the veggie curry and we were both happy.

Lovely food and record shop

I visited this bar / restaurant in Nara last month, and loved it. It is small and cosy, and has a really nice atmosphere - the owners and other customers were super friendly. The record-store part of the bar is cool, and the owner played me some Joy Division when I said I was from Manchester!

The food was great. I had a vegan chickpea curry, which was excellent. The rest of the menu looked good as well.
I would definitely recommend this place as an interesting and unusual place to eat and relax.

Pros: friendly owners, chilled atmosphere, good chickpea curry

Make sure to get there before 10.30 if you want food

If you are going for food be warned that the kitchen closes at 10.30, we missed it by a bit unfortunately and decided not to stay for drinks either in the end..
