The hallmark of Higashi-Shinjuku Sanrasa is its combo plate serving the standard chicken keema alongside the weekly curry on a single dish. Loaded with chunky coarse-ground chicken, the keema is gentle in both spice and saltiness, allowing you to enjoy shifting flavors as you alternate between or mix it with the light, soup-like weekly curry. Both selections adapt with seasonal ingredients—such as a chilled tomato rasam or potage appearing in summer—and it is fun to change up the flavor with toppings like torched cheese, seasoned boiled eggs, and daily achaar pickles. After the meal, a cup of hot coffee is served, letting you leisurely savor the lingering spices. The shop features a standing-only counter style run single-handedly by the female spice researcher owner, who also happily accommodates requests regarding rice portions. It operates exclusively during weekday lunch with only 30 servings per day, part of which requires reservations from the previous day, so it is best to check operating days before visiting.
