What comes with the Katsu Chicken Curry

  1. 01

    Panko-coated chicken breast

    The sliced chicken breast escalope brings a crisp breadcrumb coating that contrasts with the rich sauce.

  2. 02

    Mild curry sauce

    A generous covering of sweet, mildly spiced curry sauce adds a smooth texture and savoury flavour.

  3. 03

    Sticky basmati rice

    The mound of sticky basmati rice sits alongside the chicken, providing a contrast to its crisp coating.

The dish

What the Katsu Chicken Curry is like

This is a mild, sweet-savoury curry built around the contrast between crisp panko breadcrumbs and smooth sauce. The chicken breast escalope is sliced, then generously covered with a rich, aromatic curry sauce. Its gentle spice makes it a better fit for someone seeking warmth and sweetness than a strong chilli-led flavour. The coating supplies the crunch, while the chicken underneath is described as succulent.

Served hot with sticky basmati rice alongside, the plate brings together distinct textures rather than relying on heat for interest. Expect the sauce to be a prominent part of each mouthful, not a small accompaniment. The Japanese-inspired style offers an alternative to traditional British curries.

Curry Club pricing on Thursdays

Value

Is the Katsu Chicken Curry good value?

Price within this section£8.99
Lowest £8.49Highest £9.49

The typical price is £8.99, placing it at the fourth lowest priced of the 7 items we track in this section within the tracked curry club selection. Its appeal is the combination of chicken, sauce and rice on the same plate, particularly if you prefer a mild curry with a crisp coating.

Compare it with Chicken Tikka Masala or Chicken Korma when choosing within Curry Club, rather than assuming every chicken curry offers the same experience. Thursday Curry Club pricing is relevant here. Participating pubs often include a drink, and many mains have eligible drink options, but check your pub's current terms and total before ordering.
