Fourth official Pakora Passport outing (I'm not counting balti club!!).
For a change, we headed out to Cambuslang for a change of scenery. On first impressions, quite a nice wee place tucked away at the end of a row of shops and restaurants near the station.
Friendly welcome by the young chap waiting on us. Menu options were pretty expansive on pakoras/starters alone. One thing we all did find, was that the menu was slightly confusing and you were doing a lot of turning over and seeing what was where.
Fi and I opted for a la carte & took the mixed pakora option (Chicken, Mushroom, Veg and Potato). Chicken Dopiaza and Staff Curry - which was a beautifully simple chicken curry.
Pakoras took nearly 40 minutes to come out for a table of 8, which was quite a while. Ravenous by the time they arrived! Whilst quite tasty and well cooked, the thing that always lets things down... chilli!! Fish was spot on (stole Elizabeths!) but the veg and chicken were well nippy.. seriously nippy in fact.
Main courses thankfully, came out pretty quick and they were beautifully presented and I have to say, rather tasty too. The Dopiaza was nippy again, but the staff curry was brilliant. Everyone really enjoyed their outing and before we knew it, it was already 10pm!
I would never have thought to head out to Cambuslang for a curry, nor expect anything decent. That said, I think folk in Cambuslang have a wee gem on their doorstep in this place. No, it's not all fancy like the City restaurants, but what do you want... a great tasty meal for a reasonable price locally, or an average meal for a lot of money miles away? I know which one I want!
