Prior to my horseback riding lesson, I stopped for lunch at Asia Spicy Curry House, a 10-minute drive from Mihara Horse Riding Club. It turned out to be a great decision, especially as I wanted to have energy for the strenuous activity I had next.

The lunch menu has a variety of curries, including standards like chicken and pork and elaborate ones like Baingan, mutton, spinach shrimp. The lunch sets are reasonably priced between 1,000 and 1,250 yen.

I selected the set with the curry of the day, soup, salad, naan or rice and a drink for 1,000 yen (about $6.37). That day’s special was egg curry. It had a nice spice, and I didn’t miss the chicken or shrimp I usually have with my curry. The set came with lentil soup and it was well-seasoned with a touch of sweetness I enjoyed a lot.

The restaurant’s freshly baked soft and chewy naan went very well with the spicy curry sauce.

I should point out that seconds of rice or Naan were available for free. Although I did not take advantage of it this time, next time, another piece of naan will be a no-brainer.
