(Closed) Kiyosumi-Shirakawa : New Indian foods bar is open

Notice : Spice Bar Nico already quit her business and went back hometown.
(January 14th, 2016)

Very well-known chef has started her business in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa

Recently I’m always eating curry….
I went to the bar to eat curry that day, too.

Spice Bar Nico

It opened just last month and it is already popular.
And I already went to there twice 😛 And I’ll go there with my friend next week again.

ちょっと異国情緒漂う外観のSpice Bar Nico。

あんまり色のない町なので目立ちます。カレーおかみに会いに来ました。

There are only 7 seats in the bar, so it is necessary for you to reserve if you want to eat without fail. Of course, we did.
We reserved 3000 yen course in advance.

At first, we toasted with drinks.
Lassie (ラッシー) and Ram chai(ラムチャイ)

ミルキーな飲み物でカンパイ。

Papad (パパド)

香ばしくてあっという間になくなってしまいました(^_^)

It had smokey taste and it was crispy. I ate up immidiately 🙂

Seasonal vegetables acharl (季節野菜のアチャール)

季節野菜･･･この日はなすとエリンギ(･ω･´）

Eggplant and pleurotus eryngii.

Gizzard confit (砂肝のコンフィ)
The texture was not gizzard that I know. The texture and taste was like shell. Sooo tasty.

砂肝とは思えない食感！風味と言い食感といい、貝みたい。

Garbanzo bean spicy salads(ひよこ豆のスパイシーサラダ)

ひよこ豆取るのに必死！(ﾉ∀`)

Gorgonzola cheese kulcha (ゴルゴンゾーラチーズのクルチャ)

今まで食べた中で一番オイシイクルチャ！

ドライフィグと蜂蜜が隠し味のゴルゴンゾーラチーズがたっぷり！

I had never eaten such a tasty cheese kulcha ! Cheese flooded ! It was sweet because dried fig and honey were in it.

Tandoori dish (タンドール)

スパイス漬けのタンドリーチキンとガーリックチキンと海老の香味焼き(*´д｀*)

Tandoori chicken, garlic chicken and flavory grilled shrimp. I hadn’t eaten such a spicy, tasty tandoori dish ! Awesome bar !
The green sauce was spinach and coriander. It tasted a little sour.

Basmati rice (バスマティライス)

ふわっふわのバスマティライス(*´д｀*)

Curries(カレー)
Yellowtail coconuts curry, rassam, pork bindaloo and pepper chicken curry.

鰤のココナッツ、ラッサム、ポークビンダルー、胡椒の効いたチキンカレーの４種

ポークビンダルにはお肉がごろっと。

Chicken curry was best for me, but yellowtail coconuts curry was good, too. So creamy. In the contrary, I don’t like pork bindaloo all the same. I hate sweet dish 🙁

Chai (チャイ)

最後にチャイを・・・

The cup was small.

こんなちっちゃな器。チャイって小さい器で飲んだほうが美味しい気がする。

I like drinking chai with small cup. I feel it’s more tasty with small cup than bigger cup. Well, it is because I saw Indian drinks chai with small cup in India on TV before.

I’m very happy that such a nice bar opened in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa 🙂

清澄白河に素敵なお店ができてウレシイ。

Nico take me entirely captive ! I can’t wait till next week !
Of course, Nico is a bar, so you can drink cocktails that is used lassi, chai, awamori and so on. It is fun !
