| - The Internet Cafe on Charleston across from the CSN Charleston campus where I work has always been an enigma of sorts to me. In 6 years of working here I literally had never heard of anyone mention eating there even though it's within walking distance. I knew it had a somewhat revolving door of restaurants that inhabited it and yet I never heard a word about any of them being any good, nonetheless what they even served. Until Kaba Curry arrived, that is.
I'd heard or read rumblings of Kaba Curry through some of the food truck appearances they'd made, though being someone who prefers to eat sitting down and in climate controlled conditions, I figured I'd never get to try them. Once I heard they would be overtaking one of the Internet Cafe storefronts, I knew that I would be killing two birds with one visit.
Upon entering the Internet Cafe from the south side entrance, Kaba Curry was immediately the first stall on the left side. There are really only a few options as far as curry goes, you either go with Beef or Chicken Katsu curry, and then there are a series of add ons for about 50 cents a piece that include cheese, corn, spinach, additional rice, potato korroke, and some onion looking thing I'd never seen before. I went with the beef curry with added corn and spinach. It was presented in a styrofoam container without a bag at first and I had to ask for a bag as I intended to take it to go. Simple mistake and I never specified I wanted it to go either so no biggie. The cashier placed my order in a bag and I was on my way. Word of warning: I'm not sure if the container they placed my food in is the typical "to go" packaging, but as I was driving or carrying it back to my office, curry started spilling out of the container into the bag and it ended up being quite messy to pull the meal out to eat.
Digging in, I really enjoyed the flavor of the curry. It had a nice thickness and had a nice level of spice. It actually reminded me quite fondly of the packaged Japanese Golden Curry you can get in stores that my mom makes (shoutout to mom). It came with several scoops of sticky rice which tasted delicious smothered in the thick curry. I thought both the corn and spinach were worth the extra $.50 each, and next time I will try the korroke and maybe the onion add ons. The beef tasted pretty average, but combined with all the other flavors on the plate it was a very good, reasonably priced meal overall. They actually had some side dishes available that I didnt see listed anywhere on their website or mentioned in any reviews here. Thinking on it now I realize I should have snapped a pic. I didn't pay too much attention to those offerings as I was set on trying curry.
In the future I'd like to see even more topping options as well some upgraded drink offerings, as they only had Coke, 7up and Arrowhead bottled water available. At this point I'm happy to have a new spot in my lunch rotation that's so close to the office. Apologies to my co-workers or any future dates for the ensuing curry smell seeping form my pores.
