Khatris Nepalese and Indian Cuisine (Stourbridge) — Restaurant in Dudley

Our second visit here and it would have been better if I hadn't had trusted my instincts. My usual choice off the menu is for something very flavoursome and on the hotter side. Unfortunately this resulted in our waitress recommending the Gurkhali special, apparently it's one of their most popular dishes but I wasn't sure and subsequently found it really bland and watery, possibly the most tasteless dish I have ever had. I should have returned it but waiting for a replacement would also spoil the night for the wife. Her meal was just the opposite which she couldn't praise highly enough. There was nothing wrong with the starters or sides either which were better than most places . I did mention my "issue" to them and TJ was very apologetic and rectified the issue. If in doubt with the menu please seek his advice. The friendly and efficient service, ambience and presentation of this restaurant is excellent, and we look forward to a different dish when we return. And return we did with friends, in fact they chose it. We had another very good meal, made better than before as this time I went for the Madras which was excellent. Very tasty and not too hot, the wife also made the same remark about her balti. The only downside was the sheekh kebab which wasn't very warm and mine had a bit of gristle in it, it happens! There was also a party of 10 on the next table that were having a 'good time' which made it hard for us to comfortably talk...

I visit Khatris quite regularly with my wife and friends. The MENU has a good selection of the regular dishes that you'd find on offer in a traditional Indian restaurant. BUT this is more Nepalese than Indian and you are well advised to consider the Nepalese selection. So many dishes you might never have tried before and beautifully prepared and served. SERVICE is second to none. We are definitely talking 'service with a smile' here! To top it all, our waitress even kept track of six separate bills for the eleven of us and paying at the end of the evening was a 'doddle'. So, if you are in a group and you need the settlement of the bill to be hassle-free, all you have to do is ask when you order. PRICES are no more expensive than anywhere else. OVERALL: Cannot speak highly enough of this place....

For some reason it appears i now have two accounts, one as Local Guide John Ireland which I can't edit and one as Curryholic. Following our last visit I was keen to return to try another dish as I had previously made the wrong choice, and we also really enjoyed the exceptionally friendly and efficient service. We stayed with the very tasty sheekh kebab but this time I opted for a Tawa, and it was as hot and as flavoursome as I was hoping for. The wife really loves her minty clay pot dish so no changes there. The chicken in both dishes was excellent too. Overall I couldn't fault the night. Unsurprisingly it is therefore very popular so booking is...
