Mother enjoyed her first visit to Sheerin Palace (300 Allison St, Govanhill/Crosshill, Glasgow, G42 8HQ) last December, time to make a return visit. Entering @13.30 the dining area was empty though a Lady did join us briefly, devoured her Curry, and departed.
The food on display today once again did not feature Kofta, and so we had exactly the same as last time: Aloo Gosht (on-the-bone), twice, a portion of Chicken Biryani and one Roti. A Chap brought a Modest Salad and Raita but these remained largely untouched until Mother took a nibble just before departure.
The room was not the warmest, Mein Host came through to switch on the heater. Another Chap brought plates, these were cold. I asked if they could be warmed, this took two attempts. It makes such a difference to Mother’s enjoyment of a Meal having warm plates, it also keeps the food warm for longer.
The Biryani arrived first. I divvied up the Rice and took the larger piece of Chicken. The Aloo Gosht looked particularly inviting. Two large pieces of Potato stood out in the Oily Shorva. I counted eight pieces of Meat as I decanted. This was enough. Two Sucky Bones full of bone marrow added to the authenticity of this Desi-style Curry. By the time the Roti arrived I wondered why I had ordered it. As last visit, I used the Roti to enjoy the full Flavour of the Masala rather than let it disappear into the Rice. The Flavour was most appealing, with a good Spice Level and well Seasoned.
Delicious – announced Mother from the off. She prefers Boneless Lamb but managed fine.
The Rice contained Cloves and Cinnamon which added even more Flavour to today’s Curry eating experience.
Certainly plenty of meat – remarked Mother who was eating faster than I have observed for some time. She had finished long before me and took more Rice and the Chicken Drumstick. She made short work of this. Where did it all go?
Mein Host came through to check all was well. He never says much, the Curry at Sheerin Palace says it all.
The Bill
£14.00 Same as last time, same order. Great value.
The Aftermath
Mein Host was clearing the table, Mother enthused about what she had just eaten. This could become one of her favourite venues, and I have still never brought Marg here.
