A Takeaway, on a Friday Night? Wtf? T’is the Silly Season, when the Pubs are mobbed with those who venture outwith their comfort zone, and ruin it for everyone else. As I dropped Marg off in Helensburgh for her – Party – she suggested I visit the Akash, however, Hector has his heart set on attempting to repeat the success of earlier this year when I made an impromptu, and late night, visit to the New Kismet (311 Drumry Rd, Drumchapel, Glasgow, G15 8PA). That was a Methi Lamb to remember, Complimentary Chicken Pakora too.
When I bought my last Takeaway in October, I was not sure if Mein Host recognised me, there was no doubting that this evening.
Lamb with Methi, as thick a Masala as you can manage, please. A Mushroom Rice would accompany, though during the wait, as I studied The Menu, I could have had a greater variety of Vegetables.
The offer of – Extra Methi – was accepted, moments later – Extra Chillies? We were on the same wavelength.
Mein Host handed over the Poly-bag – I have given you a Chicken Pakora.
The Bill
£8.00. For a Mountain of Food.
Thank you!
Curry-Heute has been recognised.
The Mushroom Rice was more than one person could handle, to the freezer went the Surplus. The Methi Lamb had a suitably Thick Masala, but more than was necessary. 
Perhaps the Plastic Container had to be filled to the brim. The Lamb pieces were Large and Numerous, Fifteen was the first count, almost Two Portions in some venues. Tender Lamb, but it gave nothing back in terms of Flavour, unlike the Equivalent Dish earlier this year. The Spice Level was fine, again the Chilli Topping of before was not to be seen. The occasional Chilli was encountered, it could have done with more. The Seasoning too was below par. The anticipated Methi Blast never happened either. A Mainstream Curry, no more.
So why the difference? Friday Night rush? The Impressive Methi Lamb was late on a Sunday night, perhaps the bottom of the pot had all the Flavour? Nevertheless, this was still an Enjoyable Curry, but on a Friday Night, The Hector is used to The Very Best.
The Chicken Pakora
Last time, the Chicken Pakora became the base for a Stir Fry. After two episodes of Boston Legal there were rumblings. Half was reheated, well. Basically this is Chicken in a Spicy Batter, same as Fish Pakora. Fish Pakora is an absolute delight, Chicken is just – Chicken. I don’t get it. Vegetable Pakora is surely better than – Chicken? Still, Hector is looking the Gift Horse…
Marg was on the last train home, role reversal or what?
