Curry Bistro - Cuisine of India

An Amazing Meal

Tonight Josh and I were delighted to discover Curry Bistro, a wonderful little Indian restaurant here in North Everett. For those of us that love good food that goes beyond the usual fare, Curry Bistro is a welcome treat for Everett.

We were biking this evening along Hewitt, and were drawn to this little restaurant. It was a warm evening, and the host was getting some fresh air outside. He was very friendly, and invited us in. There was a perfect spot to lock up our bikes, and we were ready for some good Indian food.

We started off with Mango Iced Tea (for me) and Mango Lassi (for Josh) while we looked over their extensive menu. They have pages of options, and it took us awhile to finally settle on a choice. We decided on the Mixed Platter for an appetizer - a plate of Veggie Pakoras (chopped mixed vegetables rolled in spiced chickpea flour and fried) Samosas (potatoes, peas, and spices wrapped and fried), and Paneer Pakoras (Indian-style fried cheese). These were served with two kinds of dipping sauces, and were very good. We’ve both had Veggie Pakoras and Samosas before, but this was the first time we’d tried Paneer Pakoras - it was delicious!

For dinner, we chose a favorite - Lamb Rogan Josh, which is chunks of boneless lamb cooked Kashmiri style in a curry of spices, saffron and yogurt. It’s incredible. I chose a dish we’d never had before - Chicken Korma. It’s cooked in herbs and spices, and served with cheese, yogurt, and nuts. One thing that I thought was charming about the menu was the level of spiced options - there was the usual Mild, Medium, or Hot - and then there was Indian Hot. We like a bit of heat, but aren’t that tough. We went with Medium. Our server teased us about trying Indian Hot, and we joked about easing our way into that one! We also ordered Naan, and the meal came with Saffron Basmati Rice. Our meal was served in those gorgeous copper bowls I’d seen at other Indian restaurants (does anybody know where I can buy those?? I love them!), and the Lamb Rogan Josh was kept hot over a candle. The presentation was lovely, and the food was incredible! 

Awaiting a Delicious Meal

Getting Started!

We ended the meal with baklava (that’s almost as good as my recipe!) and brought plenty of leftovers home for a delicious lunch for tomorrow. We chatted with the owner for a bit, and discovered that they have moved from 128th to Hewitt, and have been here for about a month.

Indian food is a favorite of ours, and we are so excited to have a new - and very delicious - Indian restaurant in North Everett. The service was excellent, the menu filled with lots of wonderful things to choose from, and the food is perfect. We will definitely be returning, and would highly recommend it to anyone.
