About the Food

Martin’s Curry Rice is a great new concept from Japan, married to the flavors of India and prepared in a style similar to Mongolian Barbecue. Pick your ingredients, pick your flavors and shazam: fresh curry rice just the way you like it.

More reasons to try Martin’s:

• Spices ground and sauces prepared daily
• Curry rice cooked to order, served steaming fresh
• Local seasonally available farm fresh ingredients
• Weekly produce from Western Wake Farmer’s Market

Owner Martin Shresta has a great story:

My Curry Rice concept is based on what I experienced while visiting Japan. At every railway station, small little stores were churning out hot streaming curry rice… Being Indian I was amazed at how the Japanese had taken Curry and Rice, simplified it, and made a multi billion dollar industry. The Japanese have made it so simple that it is the first thing a Japanese kid is taught how to cook.

Now, after living in the US for 16 years, I have learned that America loves choice. I remember my first meal in Alabama, the waitress asked me 20 questions about 1 dish I ordered… which dressing, what sides, how I wanted it cooked, etc etc… I figured that the Mongolian Grill serving style would work well and so the idea of Build-Your-Own Curry..any way you want it…
