Fish is known for their three-curry combo plates, which come with your choice of a main curry (pork, chicken, extra-spicy chicken, and various weekly specials) paired with a mixed-bean curry and a keema. The recommended pork curry is particularly fiery, with a good mix of spices, while the three-bean curry is mild and gently spiced and the keema is rich and meaty.

Curry combos come with a scoop of mild dal, pickled onions, pickled radish, a bit of cilantro, a soft-boiled egg, a very crisp wafer of papad, rice, plus optional toppings, producing a very appetizing mix of contrasting flavors on your plate.

If you've got a hearty appetite you can add voluminous optional toppings such as spicy fried chicken, fried mackerel, Indian-style meatballs, fried goya, spinach, and "cheesy scrambled eggs." There are nine kinds of lassi, with variations like honey-lemon, coconut, chunky strawberry, banana and fresh ginger.

The dining room seats around two dozen - relatively large by the standards of Tokyo curry shops - with a handful of chairs in front of the shop to accommodate waiting customers. The restaurant's full name is "Fish Curry Shop Made by Three Uncles." It was a popular lunchtime destination in Ark Hills for some thirty years before closing; the current Shinjuku incarnation opened in 2018 and is run by a former customer.
