About this place
Open from late afternoon through late night, stopover tokyo serves a thoughtful line of spiced fare followed by soothing post-meal sweets. Headlining the menu are a chicken vindaloo that balances heat, savory richness, and bright acidity, and an eggplant and seafood Kerala curry fragrant with tomatoes, coconut, and curry leaves. Those who find it hard to choose can opt for the half-and-half combo plate to experience both flavors side by side. A colorful array of 4 spiced vegetable side dishes lets diners vary the pace of each mouthful, whether mixed directly into the rice and curry or eaten as refreshing bites between spoonfuls.
In addition to full curry plates, lighter options like mackerel sandwiches and curry hot dogs are on offer. Spending a leisurely evening here might also mean snacking on tandoori chicken or a savory mackerel and mixed bean masala, washed down with freshly brewed tea Kinmiya highballs or whisky sodas.
To cool the palate after the lingering heat of spices, the Hokkaido rich milk soft-serve ice cream makes a natural finish. It can be ordered simply in a cone or cup, poured over with a shot of bitter espresso as an affogato, or combined in a set with hot coffee. With non-alcoholic choices ranging from chai lattes to fresh lemonade, the spot makes an inviting stop for an easy late-night break.
