FROM OUR OPEN TANDOOR MENU - Saber's Taste Of India
A Tandoor is a vat shaped clay oven. It opens at the top and meat is lowered into the oven on skewers while the naan breads are stuck to the inner side of its walls and baked. The enclosed heat slowly and simultaneously bakes, roasts and grills food, rendering the meats well done, yet juicy and soft. Meat, fish, and seafood are marinated in our special yogurt, spices and herbs sauce for 24 hours before going into the Tandoor.

Kulfi

although flavourful the butter chicken pieces were much smaller and fewer than I have normally received in other Indian restaurant in town.
The saag paneer looked like yesterdays version reheated and the spinach was shrunken and dried out and the paneer was dry and fat soaked.
the aloo gobi had very limp cauliflower, and again looked like yesterdays reheated. when I said the cauliflower was very limp, the server told me it was because they had to boil the cauliflower to cook it.
for these reasons I was not impressed with any of the dishes served.
Curry Original is far from being shy of Kingston's best restaurant, with delicious and delectable authentic Indian dishes blended with elegant decor and professional service, I would recommend and have recommended this restaurant to everyone. It was truly a lovely restaurant experience and I'm counting down the days until my next visit!
Other Kingston restauranteurs should make a point of visiting this restaurant and take some notes on how to improve their own ventures. When dining at Curry Original, one realizes the long lost art of Hospitality is still utililized here. The food is excellent, the staff and management are warm and receptive, and the decor and atomsphere softly blend aspects of India and Kingston (which is no easy feat!). After reading other reviews for this restaurant, I notice people complaining about the length of time it took for their meals to arrive. This is not fast food. IF the Chef prepares his dishes with passion and care, It WILL take longer if the restaurant is busy!!!.. THe end result is delicious food, so relax, smile at the person across the table from you, and enjoy your experience there, (Dining Out used to be about more than just stuffing your face as quickly as possible). Curry Original is one of the few restaurants left in this town where the owners goal is your complete satisfaction rather than your Visa card number.
Cheers to owners Weis and Alli for creating and moreover maintaining such a fine establishment.
Food is excellent, make sure to ask your server just how hot your dish is and if he says it's hot, believe him...he means it's hot. Excellent Tikka Massala. This is by far the best Indian Restaurant I've ever been too. Very professional upscale servers.
