A reycled FunkyFridayPlace. Actually, though I’ve posted about this, it has not been under the high visibility of the FunkyFridayPlace™ brand. But it is “recycled” for reasons that will become apparent.
Indo Shokudo (インド食堂) is across the street from the Kumamoto Shiritsu Public Library at Oe 5 chome. The usual menu is a choice of a vegetarian or a non vegetarian curry of the day with the occasional special curry (mutton, liver and the owner says that he might have some deer meat curry, so you can get some after I get mine) They also do a nice chai, a good lassi and have home made coconut ice cream. Also the food is halal, though it is the middle of ramadan so you may have to wait. And you can order pak chi/cilantro as an extra. Yes!!
But what of the recycled part? Well, I was speaking to another fan of the restaurant and she told me that if you prepare containers, rather than get the disposable plastic trays, you can bring those in and get the curry to-go!
Here is a photo of my containers to give you an idea, the rice is 400 ml (the bottom right container) and the two side containers are 300 ml, which is good for a 2 person serving (I pick it up for me and my long suffering spouse) and are all from the 100 yen store. The curry container was a bit of splurge at 900 yen, I went to the new Home Viva store where the old Daiei at Kuhonji Kosaten was, but all you need is a 300 ml container with a good seal.
They are open for lunch and dinner, but close every Wednesday and the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month. The owner posts the curries on his Twitter feed https://twitter.com/indiandiner
