　For Christmas Eve lunch, I visited Arati, a curry restaurant near my workplace, for the first time. It’s about a 5-6 minute walk from Soka Station along the main street in front of the station.

I’ll have the butter chicken from Set A (990 yen) with spice level 4.

First, salad and drinks are served. The salad is disappointing, but this mango lassi was sweet, filling, and enjoyable.

Both the naan and the curry are large. It’s nice that everything is big, but the butter chicken was just spicy and didn’t have much curry flavor… I wonder if I chose the wrong flavor, what a shame.

There were other customers, but it wasn’t very busy. The Indian-style music playing also somehow felt unpleasant.
