The monthly visit to The Staggs in Musselburgh tends to conclude with a Curry at the New Karahi Palace (51-53 Nelson Street, Glasgow, G5 8DZ). This evening Hector would dine alone. Three Chaps were finishing Portions of Pizza as I took my seat. Ayaz was behind the Counter, Chef Rasheed was in his Spot, and Shan was waiting to deliver an order.
The Curry would have come, however, today I fancied upping the order to the Half-Kilo. This may well be my Standard from now on. What is better than eating Quality Curry? More.
A New Young Chap brought the Modest Salad and a Jug of Water.
The Lamb Karahi was presented in a Huge Karahi which was too hot to touch. The Oil at the base was sizzling. Topped with Fresh Green Chillies, Coriander and Ginger Strips, this remains one of the Best Curry Dishes served in the City of Glasgow. The Bone content means that the Half Kilo is not excessive. A Single Chapatti accompanied the Curry, a second was brought a few minutes later, both Piping Hot.
On the last visit the Quality was off the scale, no way could that be matched. Whilst tonight’s Curry was Wonderful it did not have the Intensity of last time. One knows what Rasheed is capable of producing.
Another Solo Diner took the table beside me. I had to ask Ayaz what he was having. Mince. The Keema presented here looked decidedly different from the Norm. Conversation was inevitable. I recommended he try Cafe Reeshah whose Keema Mutter I hold in the highest regard.
The Bill
£14.40. As I paid, a Chap was also paying for a Sixteen Inch Pizza.
The Aftermath
Ayaz asked if I liked Pizza. He insists that I try it next time. I hope he forgets.
The Vote for Scottish Independence is looming. All the Staff at The New Karahi Palace will be voting – Yes. On reaching home, Sky News revealed a Poll with – Yes – ahead for the First Time.
Squeaky Bum Time approaches.
