01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

At Kitchen Cafe Eru, you can savour the Turban Curry sauce on its own or add a topping such as cutlet or hamburger steak for a more substantial meal. Turban Curry is listed at 550 yen, while the loin-cutlet and hamburger curry options are each 700 yen; all the curries come with salad. Some diners have described the sauce as thick and richly flavoured, with a heat that builds as you eat. The menu describes its flavour as “even and smooth”, so the plain curry is a good way to appreciate its character.

For a heartier plate, choose from toppings such as loin cutlet, chicken cutlet or hamburger steak. One diner reported ordering the loin-cutlet curry for lunch, with pickled daikon and mini salad on the side. You can decide whether to let the curry’s richness and heat take centre stage or make the topping part of the main event. For lunch without curry, hamburger steak, fried prawns, pork cutlet and fried chicken are among the set meals, each priced at 850. They come with rice, a main dish, a small side, pickles and miso soup, offering a set-meal option when curry is not what you’re after. One diner who enjoyed returning for the daily lunch described a set with rice, miso soup and pickles, alongside side dishes, salad and a main. The daily lunch price is not listed, so check when you visit.

In the morning, the A Set pairs toast with salad and egg, plus coffee. Breakfast is available, and on Sundays the café is open from 8 to 11. Coffee is also on the menu in hot or iced versions, whether you want a drink after eating or a pause during the day.

Several visitors have noted that smoking was permitted, so this may be worth bearing in mind if you are sensitive to tobacco smoke. On Mondays through Thursdays, opening hours are 8 to 17; the café is closed on Fridays and Saturdays.
