Curry Indian & Pakistani Restaurant — Restaurant in Keene

Ten out of Ten for this delicious honest-to-goodness Pakistan-Afghan down home style eatery where the food is great! Succulent expertly grilled chucks of chicken tikka on skewers is put in a rich Masala sauce for you, Beautifully scented Basmati rice melts on the tongue, fresh buttery garlic nan bread arrives all hot and crispy, and don't miss the chana masala (chick peas) in a rich hot delicious sauce. We loved the fresh chicken shish kebab, too, and the hot black tea with sugar. Proprietors Mohammed Waheed & Begum Saadia are engaging, well travelled, warm, welcoming, hospitable, and very charming. They're kind and laid back and on the night my husband and I visited to collect our food their phone didn't stop ringing with delivery orders. Meeting this beautiful couple and one of their 7 children, and chatting in their relaxed restaurant with them was a treat on this wet snowy February evening. They made time to chat with us and we left feeling like family. We love this family oriented place, it offers great authentic food at good prices, the spices and cooking style is Afghan and Pakistan with a large selection of side dishes. The Basmati rice was delicately scented with cloves. The fresh green chopped coriander on the garlic nans made them look and taste beautiful. This place is no-frills with good honest cooking and great tasty food served for quickness on paper plates with plastic spoons - just as it is in Lahore, Kabul, and London where I'm from. Don't visit and expect this restaurant to have fancy china plates or plasticcy anonymous looking staff in uniforms, or a neat and tidy franchise feel or appearance. Expect instead plain looking tables and chairs for diners to eat at, a chilled drinks cabinet, a tv showing news stations from all around the world, a couple of pot plants, and nothing else but a window cut into the wall through which you can watch this couple cooking the best food! Sir Mohammed Waheed and Begum Saadia thank you for keeping it real, we thank you for your 1st class hospitality and kindness to us and will be honored to return...

Aimd times some might say critical the world prospects left mist amongst thine selves to perceive.

The atmosphere is of a smaller business, its remanence of past time nestolgic of culture I experienced the middle east... quaint but in diar needs of some updates!

Kindness extended to local community members that stumble upon the hardship of times; 1 had struck up courtship the humility of the owners; lead to convictions of turmoil over extension of gratitude, as presumption from what's not given immediately...scorns someone whom isn't so cognitive of such a gift. Then showing signs of not such gratitude made thoes whom paid for their meals ever so uneasy to the tensions lay thick luminous of the slightly hight tone elevations of irritations in the air. Following as promises to one reassuring that they'll be divinely taken care of. Tattered fellow egressed the premise promptly to return!

Rice cooked rather mediocre, not to be critical of the location because of appearances as that can deceive. Lamb Curry was in it's sauté juices made great soak for the sesame seed Naan bread that was delightful! Great crunch edge soft center not overly oily; Lamb iodised Meer to much and not alot of meat. Overall meal meh.

Companion meal was a similar experience, not much to say for complimentary commentary;? agreement met wanting to leave over the lingering situation with the incident of the tattered man.

IMO $55+ for 2, too expensive to deal with local riff raffs and argumentative phone calls; wanna feel the bustling middle easterly vibes...you've arrived!...

Pretty sure by the time I click 'Post Review' this place will be permanently closed. Had dinner here in-house an evening around 5 pm. We walked into the empty place, with empty showcases and shelves. We spoke to a young woman who said they were out of chickpeas and a couple dishes we wanted to try. Being out of chickpeas is like a beach running out of sand. Still wanted to try the place.

We had to wait a half hour for them to make our food. Now at this time all the staff are eating - get this- dishes with chickpeas. Imagine that. We got our food for dine in except they packed everything to go. Had to unravel packaging at the table. There was a second bag we opened that I assumed was ours too because it had the items we ordered. As we were eating the owner came up to our table and asked for the bag back, for a woman standing there waiting for her food. They accidentally gave us her bag, that we opened. He wrapped everything up and re bagged it right in front of her and gave it to her. I would have been mortified. So pictured here was $64. For 2 people. Tasty food but extremely small portions without key ingredients. That will be our...
