Rainy Monday (Porcupine Tree), OK, I’ve used that before. Fortunately, Marg was in tow, so a lift across the river to New Cafe Reeshah (455 Shields Road, Pollokshields, Glasgow G41 1NP) was offered, in exchange for a Curry.
A free parking spot right outside Cafe Reeshah was attained, Arshad was there to greet as we entered the otherwise empty Curry Cafe at 13.20.
There was a quick glance at the Curry on display. Lamb Karahi (£11.00 / £13.00) was there, sorted. I fancied Rice today for a change. No Rice. Eh? A Naan (£1.50) would suffice. Marg took longer to study all that was on offer. 
Arshad was keen for us to try the Okra Lamb or Saag, not today. He also held up a tub of Nihari, had that recently. Marg would stick to her favoured Aloo Qeema (£7.00 / £9.00) with a Roti (£1.00).
The wait for the Bread to be prepared and the Curry reheated was not long.
Both Breads were served whole. Wholemeal Flour in the Roti, not my preference, but Marg is happy with this. The Naan, as ever, looked inviting. Arshad made a point of telling me he had added the buttery sheen. Risen, blistered, light lovely Bread, and as ever, as much eaten as could be managed.
A common feature of both our Mains today was they had not been heated to – piping hot. With the door closed after we arrived, the room was not warm and this accelerated the cooling of the food. We both like hot food, so a word next time.
Aloo Qeema
The peripheral Oil was the only visible proof that this Curry had the correct level of moisture. It’s meant to be Dry otherwise, a classic example sat before Marg. The discolouring of the Potato was evidence that it had absorbed the Flavour of the Minimal Masala. Marg:
The bowl was full of mince and potatoes with a freshly made Roti. The flavour was peppery and I enjoyed the cooked potatoes in amongst the minced chicken. Ate three quarters of the Roti, it was crispy and was made with wholemeal flour. The food was not piping hot, but very easy to eat.

Lamb Karahi
At the first glance, one sees the Oily Shorva around the edge of the plate, maybe why I would like to try this creation with Rice. Then there’s Masala with Peppery flecks, shrouding the Meat, in the true Punjabi Karahi style. Served on-the-bone, as it must be, wonderful.
The level of Seasoning meant that the Masala was bursting with Flavour. The Spice Level was not challenging, the Pepper a standout. Super-tender Lamb, a joy after last week’s experience at Royal Spicy (Lisboa). The marrow from the Sucky Bone evoked a distinctive and familiar Flavour, that which is en-captured consistently at Yadgar.
Where can you buy bone marrow? – I asked Marg.
This Karahi has pedigree, I could eat this every day. 11ºC outside, has winter come back? The food was decidedly cold at the end.
The Bill
£20.00 A round sum.
The Aftermath
I showed Arshad the photo of the White Mutton Handi experienced in Lisboa at Royal Spicy last week. He had to ask what it was. Namkeen – worked.
The quality of Lamb served here was raised once more. Scottish Lamb, ye cannae whack it!
Marg dropped me off at Ibrox Subway Station even though Shields Road was nearer. An opperchancity to consider that The Famous won a trophy yesterday, it’s seems ages since the other lot won anything…
