01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Curry for lunch, then pudding and coffee afterwards. At LUSH LIFE, you can take your time over café-style food and something sweet while listening to records.

The menu includes chicken curry rice and hayashi rice, as well as vegetable curry with coconut milk and an aigae curry combining chicken and vegetables on one plate. The spice curry uses a house-blended spice mix and is gluten-free; it comes with seasonal sides, with the day’s selection listed on a blackboard. Diners have praised the vegetable curry, while one lunch-goer chose the chicken curry and enjoyed it with coffee afterwards. For something lighter, there are toast sandwiches.

For a sweet finish, choose homemade cake or pudding. One diner recalled the pudding’s distinctive egg and caramel flavours; its firm texture may appeal if you like a more set pudding. Pair it with coffee for a relaxed break after your meal.

Drinks include hot coffee and café au lait, as well as chai, tea and hot shikuwasa. You can linger over dessert and coffee after eating, or simply order a drink and spend some time listening to jazz.

The jazz playing in the café is another draw, and some people come especially to enjoy the records selected for the day. Listen over a meal or settle at the counter with a coffee. Terrace seating is also available.
