Praha – Sada Punjab – Another Worthy Prague Curry House

The downhill route from the accommodation  to Sada Punjab (U Vrosvickeho nadrazi 99/24 Praha 10-Vrosvice,, Czechia) took me through a park. What was quite a pleasant stroll was interrupted by a mass of sirens all wailing in unison. Nobody appeared to be bothered by this. The noise abated just as I entered Sada Punjab. About three tables were occupied, the diners all taking advantage of the Buffet (119Kc). The place seemed eerily quiet.

The description of the Kadhai Lamb (225Kc) looked interesting, assuming of course the – Bell Peppers – could be withheld. I asked the waitress:

But it has – was the reply.

That was disappointing, Lamb Rogan Josh (225Kc) it would have to be. Pulao (55Kc) – Spicy rice with peas – would accompany. I wondered how the Rice would be Spiced. Two bottles of Sparkling Water (25Kc) completed the Order.

More customers arrived, again the Buffet was the attraction. The range of Dishes on offer did not look vast from my perspective in the far corner.

The Rice was identical to that served yesterday at Amritsar Mail. Cumin Seeds accompanied the Peas, tasty Rice.

Lamb Rogan Josh

Ginger, Coriander and Tomato topped what looked like a very standard Blended Masala. There didn’t appear to be a lot of Meat in the pot, however, having counted the solids, I convinced myself there were ten pieces. I found pieces of Cinnamon Bark as I decanted the Meat and Masala, and possibly a piece of Star Anise. Levels of expectation were on the rise.

The Spice Level was no more than moderate, the Seasoning did impress. Some of the Meat was particularly soft, some simply – Tender. The Curry may have looked bog standard, however, it did not have the Euro-Curry taste which too often prevails, this had its own character. There was a remarkable depth of Flavour here, this was well above the average for a Mainstream Curry.

The Bill

335Kc (£11.31)

The Aftermath

Mein Host (Chef) had been popping out from the kitchen at various intervals during my visit. I timed it well to engage him. I mentioned my preference for Punjabi Cuisine, that was well received. I would certainly consider a return to Sada Punjab.
