I
heard about Curry Corner from a friend who said that they heard about it on
Food Network and that it was supposed to be fabulous.
I
arrived there at 11:00, only to be told that they don’t open till 11:30. No
problem to wait and observe that they are currently under construction as they
expand to two more stores next door.
Promptly
at 11:30 the door opened and I was invited in. The current location is on the
smaller side and being under construction is not what I would exactly consider
to be highly inviting, however, taking this into consideration, I evaluated
only on the food and service.
First
on my order list was garlic naan. It came to the table still hot, bubbly and
flakey on the edges and chewy in the middle. It was fragrant with the aroma of
garlic.
Next,
came a bowl of karahi. A dish composed of goat, slow cooked in ginger and
spices, onions, yogurt and tomatoes. I love spicy food, and asked for it to be
made that way, and the cook happily complied.
The
dish was excellent and filled with lots of meat that was beautifully tender. I
was given a choice of it being served with rice or with naan, and as I had
already ordered naan I opted for the rice which was perfectly cooked.
Service
was reasonable and the tables were clean.
I am
looking forward to coming back after the construction is finished and trying a
much larger selection of dishes.
For
the time being, I will give them 4 stars for the excellent food.
