About this place
Pair the warming spice of chicken with the tang of pork. At Cafe Rainbow, some diners choose a double curry, combining two curries on one plate to compare their contrasting flavours. The Chicken Masala Curry is seasoned with house-made garam masala, while the Pork Vindaloo is distinguished by wine vinegar’s tartness and a lively spice profile. Their different characters make them a good match for a side-by-side tasting. Some diners single out the pork’s refreshing acidity; others comment on the heat and intensity of the spices. Choose the pork for a more assertive kick, or the chicken for a first taste of a spiced curry.
The Vegetable Masala Curry is a vegetarian curry that draws on the acidity of tomato and tamarind. Other choices include a butter chicken curry made with cashew paste and pork curry with wine vinegar, so you can pick according to your mood. For a break or something after the meal, try a masala chai, available hot or iced. Diners have noted its refreshing cardamom and ginger, balanced by the richness of milk tea; it makes a satisfying follow-up to curry. Cafe Rainbow has dine-in seating in the basement of Nakano Broadway and suits solo meals, too. It is an option for a curry break between shops or for takeaway.
