Jaipur - Southsea, 29/2/08

Mary and Dave couldn't make up their minds after I'd generously offered them a choice so we tossed a coin. It came up tails, so we headed back up Albert Road to Jaipur instead of trying Curry Naz for the first time.

I began with a highly spiced garlicky Shami kebab. Then Lamb Kohlapuri, a rich, roasty, thick curry with a twist of chilli powder.

Unusual vegetable dishes mark the restaurant out from the run of the mill indians. On this occasion a bowl of boiled runner beans tossed with grated coconut, mustard and cumin seeds made for an interesting if rather insubstantial addition. Staff sweet as ever.

At the time of writing they’ve an incredibly reasonable ‘Banquet offer’ available which allows you the works, including indian desserts for 11 pounds.
