Sultan's Curry
I think I was 25 years old the first time I went to an Indian Curry restaurant. It was fantastic! About the same time I moved to Japan, Haidee and Cindy discovered a Sultan's Curry restaurant right here in Fukushima! Ever since it's become a regular eating spot for us.

Part of the joy of eating at Sultan's Curry is that it feels like you're stepping out of Japan for a moment. The cooks and staff are from India, and therefore speak English better than they speak Japanese (just like us!). The menu is in English and Japanese, which makes ordering pretty easy (especially for me, Eric). Whenever we go to Sultan's, there's a good chance we'll see foreigners (i.e. non-Japanese).

The food is amazing! In the land of pork and fish, it's really nice to take a break and order a mutton curry, a chicken tikka, or a kebob. You can choose your level of spicy-ness: mild, regular, hot, or fire! The curry sets come with fresh naan (pulled right out of the oven when your food is served) or saffron rice. The waitstaff all know Haidee and me pretty well, including our heat preferences (Haidee - regular; Eric - hot) and our side preferences (Haidee - plain naan, Eric - saffron rice). Our favorite cook, whom we affectionately refer to as "our man," often comes out of the kitchen to say hello. Sometimes he brings a small dessert as a treat! We've had some great conversations with him. That's another refreshing change from the regular Japanese atmosphere: people willing to talk and share openly about themselves!
