It is just as well for New Kismet Tandoori (311 Drumry Rd, Drumchapel, Glasgow, G15 8PA) that they are not solely dependent on Hector’s contributions to support their business. Having avoided the expense of an expensive Italian meal, Hector was left to his own devices this evening. No Curry for a week, this had to be rectified.
The Desi Lamb (£6.80) was overdue a try, the Special Rice (£3.00) should accompany.
There was no sign of Mein Host this evening when I parked up just after 19.00. Two young guys were running the show. Delivery chaps were collecting orders to be taken to the Kismet hinterland. I gave my Order, – without Green Peppers – being clarified.
The Bill
£10.50 One pays more for a tweak.
I waited around ten minutes, enough time to spot that – Set Meal A – is also £10.50, that includes Pakora which I have been given occasionally.
No Pakora for Hector tonight, instead potions of Rice and Curry that could count as – double – in many a Restaurant. I spread out the Rice, no way would I eat all this at one sitting, tomorrow is another day. Large pieces of Onion, Peas and Mushrooms were the added Vegetables.

A few Coriander leaves sat atop the blended Masala which was no different from that which is usually served here. I was already imagining a sprinkling of Methi. The Meat count was twenty, all large. The Lamb was soft but did not give off much in the way of Flavour, Spice. Sliced Green Chillies had been added in quantity, this raised the Spice Level, alas the Seasoning was below that which Hector seeks.
From somewhere came a blast of Citrus, the only feature of this Curry that set it aside from the usual Lamb Karahi I order here. A pleasant Curry, but in what way was this – Desi?
