Lamb Karahi - Lahori Corner

I've decided to post this one while it's still fresh in my memory. Lahori Corner has recently opened in Mirfield, it used to be Subra's, the something else (I think), then Gourmet. I never really had anything from either of those two, but decided to give Lahori Corner a go.

Last week (or the week before maybe) my mum was raving about a chicken kebab she'd had from there, so we ordered one each at the weekend, they were awesome - one chicken kebab for Tra and one special on naan for me - I was soooo impressed that I decided to try their curry. I don't want to blog too much about kebabs really cos they are a bit too fatty and not great for you...

So.... tonight.... I was (I am) home alone so I decided on curry and opted for:

Lamb Kahari - Plain naan bread, 1 portion of onion bhaji.

It took about 45 minutes to arrive which isn't too bad considering I ordered at 8pm on a Friday. First thing I noticed was that the dish was in a small container, so for £6.00 that seemed expensive. None the less, I continued. The naan was reasonably sized and the bhajis were too. All sorted, I went and sat down with my Stella 4%.

To be honest, I'm quite disappointed. The small container started it, but when I tasted the curry there wasn't a great deal to it. No onion, peppers or fresh chillis, just lamb and sauce. Granted, there was a load of lamb, and it was lovely and tender, but the sauce didn't have any spice or any real get-up-and-go.

It's supposed to be one of their special dishes, and really, it tasted like a Patak's paste or something similar, so I'm left grumpy tonight. I can't really ellaborate on the curry and it's pzzazz as there's not much more to say - it was just bland.

The naan was nice enough, did a job and mopped up what sauce there was. The bhajis were okay too. I think they were probably microwaved, but they were tasty enough - came with mint sauce and some fresh onion.

The one real positive is that I was undercharged by a whole pound.

I'm not sure what to recommend here, the curry was relatively poor but last week's kebab was lovely. I think you should give it a go (if you're local and are open to trying new places). If you're a strict Al Nawab or Paradise guy, I'd stay where you know best. Try it once, see what you reckon.

This is a grumpy one isn't it! I hope these blogs are few and far between...

It's Gran Sasso in Kirkburton tomorrow.... I hope to report a better event on my next post!

Until then, have fun.
