01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

When ordering curry, start by choosing the filling and spice level. At Freedom in Kitatanabe, the options include chicken, keema and, occasionally, a curry chosen on a whim. There are 3 spice levels: “no heat”, “mild” and “spicy”. Diners have described the curry as fragrant and flavourful yet easy to eat; one review noted that the chicken was tender and falling apart. The “Chunky Vegetable Spicy Curry” is another way to enjoy plenty of vegetables, and a mild roux can be made for those who prefer less heat. A mini dessert is also available to round off the meal.

For a little of several dishes, consider the handmade plate lunch, which includes a main and 10 items in total. Choose from 3 daily main dishes. The rice is usually domestic 22-grain rice, though white rice is also an option. One diner who chose the simmered hamburger steak mentioned its hearty, juicy texture; another review described a plate with cabbage rolls, roast beef and an omelette. You can tailor the meal by adding a second main, ordering a larger serving of rice or including a mini dessert.

The roast beef bowl is another option. One diner recommends enjoying the sauce first, then breaking the egg yolk over the bowl. A review also suggests ordering a curry and a bowl between several people, then trying a little curry on top.

Pasta options include lemon cream, tomato sauce and Japanese-style pasta; the listed portions are a generous 100g. One diner mentioned enjoying the lemon cream pasta, while another reported trying pasta and an acai bowl, making it an alternative when you fancy something other than curry. The panini plate is available to order from 13:30 onwards. Choose keema-spice-curry, tomato or béchamel sauce for a hot sandwich with ratatouille and Gouda cheese. You can also ask for half-and-half sauces, handy when you cannot decide.

This Kitatanabe restaurant offers both dine-in and takeaway. Whether you are eating in or picking up lunch, the menu makes it easy to choose from its curry and plates according to what you feel like that day.
