This Friday night’s dinner was a simple affair, some curry at Classic Curry Company to warm the tummy from the cold weather.

The interior may be Spartan, but it’s full of delicious smells and smiling staff.

Butter Chicken ($10)

Chris’ Butter Chicken ($10) is smooth and sweet, without too much acidity from the tomatoes to meddle in affairs. Chicken chunks are brilliantly tender and slightly charred at the edges. A bit too sweet for my liking but still comfort food at its finest.

Mild Fish Curry ($10)

My Fish Curry($10) had a gravy that’s very similar to the butter chicken, leaving me a little bit disappointed. But the big chunks of fish fillets were surprisingly well marinated with a deep smoky taste to it, even if it is a bit on the salty side. I swapped my rice for a serve of pillowy soft Naan ($1). At a dollar a pop, it won’t hurt to overindulge.

Rating: 12/20 – comfort food
