My favourite “exotic” quisene would have to be Indian. My
wife and I have a well visited Indian restaurant only minutes drive from us
which is our “go to” restaurant of choice. On suggestion of some friends we
tried Kasturi after a night at the
Frankston cinemas-“100 Foot Journey”. A great
movie by the way. Indian was on our mind after the movie and Kasturi was only
around the corner.
Being a Wednesday night the eatery was sparsely inhabited. Decor is a little ho-hum but the music was at
least Indian flavoured. Speaking of flavours this humble venue is now our fav.
Indian. The menu was extensive in contrast to the wine and drinks menu. This is
a BYO shop so I would not expect a huge selection of beverages. Looks like they
offer re-labelled clean skins, bring your own. I went for a Brown Bros. Lexia,
intending to have a spicy lamb dish. What was a very pleasant surprise was the
lemon rice. It had a slight buttery flavour with just a hint of lemon. Nice
change.
Service is Ok, parking - easy on a Tuesday night. I would
imagine a local parking area would be required on a busier night. Food was
absolutely delicious though I felt my lamb a little dry. It was tender and fell
apart. My wife raved of her beef meal. Sauce is the source of enjoyment in
Indian food. And the sauce was good, very good. The breads we had as entre' were also very
good, in fact excellent also. I have to recommend this restaurant even if you are
not a hard core Indian food lover. As I stated early in this post – our new
fav. “go to” Indian food shop. Don’t wait for a night at the movies to get you in the
mood. Just go!
