Kantipur Indian- Nepalese

Looking for a local Indian restaurant on a Tuesday night can be a pain… My friend and I were really happy to find this place open.
As we were just after a warming dinner to eat with a movie we weren’t particularly exploratory with our orders– just a lamb madras for myself and a chicken korma for my friend, of course with the ubiquitous side orders of naan and rice.
The food itself was fantastic, mine was really pungent with a wonderfully rich and thick sauce. It was spicy enough for me (i’m a lover of hot food) without being overpowering… Also, unlike a lot of Indian food, it wasn’t overly oily or fatty, although as the meal contains coconut milk it had a lovely creaminess to it. The lamb itself was delicious, tender to the point of flakiness so i could break the larger chunks down easily with my spoon. The overall serving size was generous without being ridiculous.
To add to this the (plain) naan we ordered was stretchy, not too oily, and surprisingly tasty. The rice was plain but perfectly prepared.
The only reason I’m not giving five stars is because beyond a little taste test of my friend’s korma (thoroughly enjoyed) I only tried the one dish. Also there was a slight moment of confusion when my friend asked for a menu to take home and was told they didn’t have enough left to give him one… Huh?
Anyway, if you’re looking for a take– away curry, this place is definitely recommended. Unsure as to the quality of the restaurant experience but judging by the décor (see photo), well stocked bar and quality of the food I’m going to see for myself soon.
