Are you there spicy food? Its me Josh!

I will start with saying I have never tried Indian food before, so I was not sure what to expect. I was very excited to try a type of food I have never had before and to be honest i almost did not make it. My schedule was off due to work and thought Thursday was in fact Wednesday, lucky for me my mother called asking where I was and I bolted to Westport, after walking the street 2 times I found Korma Sutra and this is where the story truly begins.

I walked in surprised to see Rich not there, but even more surprised to get to see Michael and his girlfriend Kate. I sat down in my seat and noticed right away that we must have decided to go eat Italian instead of Indian as these seats were very similar to a family style restaurant. (lucky for us we are a close family and Justin wear deodorant)

I was excited to see some type of appetizer which I never got the name of because I showed up late and the 3 different dipping sauces added unique taste to the pallet. I decided to order a native beer and for the first time was not an IPA, it was a tasty beer especially with my dish, however I prefer IPA.

For dinner I was torn between lamb and shrimp (I am a huge shrimp fan) I decided that lamb was probably more authentic, so I went with that. I was asked how spicy I wanted it and as a man who likes his food spicy (if you aint sweating it aint spicy enough) I asked for a 10 the spiciest of the spiciest! The waitress just shook her head no, so I dumbed it down to an 8. I do not make many mistakes but this was one of them. When given the food I was disappointed at the size of this little bowl, I am a growing boy and I need my meat, either way I was ready to eat! I loaded my plate up with a good portion of rice and poured the sauce and meat on top, before I could take a bite I was already being offered samples of other peoples dishes (a pleasant surprise!) I was ready for this first bite and the intensity of the spices, when again I had to wait as they wanted a picture to capture my suffering of the burn of my stupidity ordering something so spicy! I took that first bite and I chewed and waited as I know spices always kick in when you least expect it... nothing... the food was fantastic, but there was no heat there was no spice, just a tender lamb. The lack of spiciness was a bit disappointing, but the food was fantastic as the rice was the best rice I have ever had and the naan dipped in the sauce was divine and might I add the goat was by far the best meat on the table, even my scared mother seemed shocked by the tender and juiciness of that goat, I had to debate going and buying a goat for my own cooking pleasure.

To end the night they brought surprise after surprise of desserts and drinks. A fantastic surprise to end the night.

My final opinion is that for my first taste of Indian cuisine I was quite happy. The food was yummy and the beer was beery and being with my family priceless! 3.8
