An appalling Nepalese dining experience
I was out for a drink with a friend last night before we found ourselves wandering up and down the streets of Surry Hills looking for dinner. After a while we ended up in the cramped quarters of The Nepalese Kitchen with their mouth-watering menu. Shortly after ordering I popped-out quickly to the bottle shop next door when we discovered the restaurant was BYO.
This turned out to be a good decision.
After the ling fish entrée (which I thought was probably catfish) we were quite excited and had already added the restaurant to the “We’ll have to come back again soon”, until we got the rest of our order. What came afterward were way too salty and I barely touched my goat curry. Likewise my friend barely touched her chicken curry and as the night continued, we also found the dal to be quite salty as well. Trying to make-up for all this by simply eating the paratha and rice also didn’t quite work out as one of the waiters knocked my friend’s wine glass into her plate, causing us to throw away about half the paratha.
What did we get out of this?
A clueless “Sorry” delivered with one of the most helpless faces I had ever seen. It was as if there was nothing he could do and that we had to just suck it up. We tried ordering another paratha but he simply got us a new plate, and when I checked if it was coming we discovered that they had run out of it, and that they were just going to strike-out the paratha out of our bills.
After the over-salted food we had downgraded the restaurant to “We’ll be back, but not anytime soon” but this was quickly downgraded to “Not coming back anytime soon” aka “Never coming back” after the shit service and the nasty toilet.
Yeeesh. Good riddance.
Thank goodness I lucked-out with the wine.
