Cafe Spice Express – Chicken Curry

October 2, 2009

I’ve eaten at this place on one other occasion, and I’m pretty sure I got the lamb curry that time, so today I got the chicken curry. There isn’t much of a selection. Basically you have a choice of chicken, lamb, and possibly one other type of curry. (Sorry I’m really bad at identifying Indian food. It’s all so good but it all looks so similar!) For sides, the usual choice of chickpeas, spinach, lentils, and some other stuff that I haven’t tried. You order at the counter, and your food is served on a paper plate. I ended up getting chicken curry with chickpeas and spinach, and I also got a slushy mango drink. And of course naan bread! It came wrapped in foil, which kept it warm but also made it kind of soggy. I can’t say much about the restaurant itself, other than that the walls are very green. It wasn’t busy at all when I went. The owner walks around occasionally asking everybody how they like the food. And the food was not too bad. For the price, however, I would have expected – and certainly have had – something a little better.
