The sun is shining, the temperature has risen to a modest 15°C, it’s meant to be summer. Finding a parking space along Allison St. and its surroundings proved to be difficult. Curry at the Sheerin Palace (300 Allison St, Glasgow, G42 8HQ) was calling. It’s 13.30 on a Wednesday, yes Midweek. Such are the joys of winding down.
Mein Host smiled in recognition, Sheerin Palace remains a Favourite, despite the sporadic visits.
What do you have on today?
There were a couple of gaps under the counter-top. The usual Chicken Biryani and Chickpea Curry were on display. A mean-looking Chicken Palak would have tempted most. When Hector sees Kofta Anda sitting in a Red, Fiery, Oily Masala, it has to be. One Chapatti please.
The Chap sitting adjacent was finishing Kofta Anda, another nearer the window was halfway though his Biryani. This is genuine Desi Cuisine served in a Café Ambience. Sheerin Palace is perfect for a Snack/Lunch. The Takeaway Business is constant.
The Food arrived in moments, as soon as the ample Chapatti was prepared. Four Lamb Kofta Balls, each had to be halved. Two halves of a Boiled Egg. Small in the Hector Book of Curry Portions, however, at this time of day, more than Substantial.
The First Dip with a strip off the Real Chapatti – Gosh! The Thin-styled Masala was Classic Shorva. The Onion Base was visible, just. The Seasoning and Spice were Perfect. A Single Strand of a Herb was visible, Reading back to an earlier visit here, Hector was critical of this version of Curry, still learning, put in my place. Rice would have absorbed the Liquid, it spoils the Rawness of The Dish. This is Tardis Curry, taking one back in time.
The Bill
£6.00. Lunch.
The Aftermath
A Fresh Tray of a Vegetable Curry had been placed on display in the interim. Pity not sooner.
I love this place!

… and I should go more often…
