The Curry Shop is a gameplay feature available in Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. It's unlocked through the Curry Connoisseurs Squad, which itself is unlocked during Episode 5.
In this facility, the player may choose from various types of curry that grant temporary bonuses to all their units. Only one curry can be active at a time, as eating a second one will overwrite the effect of the first.
While there's a selection of pre-made curry with fixed effects, it's also possible to make custom curry with items from the inventory.
Basic Curry
This is the list of pre-made curry. The effect only lasts for a single battle, but they simply cost a small amount of HL and are infinitely available for purchase.

Custom Curry
These curry are made by spending items from the inventory, and they grant a stat bonus equal to a percentage of each item's main stats and Critical hit chance. This bonus ignores any modifiers in the item(like Rarity or Innocents), and the resulting value per item is rounded down but to a minimum of 1. All custom curry are single-use, and once the effect is over a new one must be made if one wants to repeat the effect.
Ingredient Types
Curries are made of up to 4 different types of ingredients, each of different importance:
- Main Ingredient: Grants 10% of the item's stats. Only obligatory ingredient. Most items also add a secondary effect if used as main ingredient.
- Sub Ingredient 1: Grants 5% of the item's stats. Requires Curry Connoisseurs Squad at level 2.
- Sub Ingredient 2: Grants 3% of the item's stats. Requires Curry Connoisseurs Squad at level 3.
- Other Ingredients: Grants 1% of the item's stats. Up to 1000 items can be added in this category.
Duration
Once the curry is done it's possible to let it sit instead of consuming it immediately. While the default duration of a curry is 1 battle, every battle completed while a curry is left sitting increases its duration by 1 more battle, up to a maximum of 100.
