01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Baked to order in a tandoor, the naan emerges crisp on the outside and chewy within, releasing an enticing aroma the moment it is handed across the counter. Situated on the cafeteria floor of Building 6 on Toyo University's Hakusan Campus, Curry Mantra provides authentic Indian spiced curries and breads at student-friendly prices for everyday dining.
The core set meals allow visitors to tailor combinations to suit current appetites. Multi-curry selections like the B Set and C Set are particularly practical for tasting contrasting heat levels and flavours side by side. Options range from spicy chicken mirchi curry and rich, medium-spicy keema to milder chicken curry, vegetable curry, and rotating daily specials. Sets come paired with drinks such as oolong tea or sweet lassi, which offer a refreshing balance between mouthfuls of seasoned curry.
Beyond standard naan, the menu includes rich melted cheese naan, garlic naan, and sweet chocolate naan. Heartier appetites are catered to with options like a tandoori-style chicken cutlet curry served with salad and a drink, as well as add-on tandoori chicken sides to build a substantial meal.
The open food-court environment makes dropping in solo effortless, and takeaway orders are also supported. Limited afternoon treats, like the snack naan available between 15:00 and 19:00, offer pleasant additions depending on the time of day, making freshly baked bread and rich curry accessible on a whim.
