Marked by a large sign at the Jimbocho intersection, Gavial is a European-style curry specialty restaurant that has been aging and replenishing its sauce base since its founding in 1982, fine-tuning its blend of 28 spices according to the daily weather and season. The signature beef curry features meat braised until tender enough to cut with a spoon, delivering a classic profile where a pleasant spiciness follows an initial touch of sweetness. Other variations are also available, including seafood curry with shrimp and clams as well as curries topped with lightly fried vegetables, with four spice levels to choose from. The specialty of skin-on potatoes enjoyed with butter is a beloved accompaniment that many diners look forward to between bites of curry. Decorated with antique-style objects and classical music, the entirely non-smoking interior offers an unhurried, calm atmosphere unusual for a curry shop, making it an easy place to visit for a solo lunch.
