Best Kept Secret in Zürich? www.bestcurry.ch

I was invited to an indian lunch by an indian chap today. We ordered from www.bestcurry.ch.

The food was good, copious and delivered in time for lunch at a very reasonable price.

It could have been a little more spicy, but then again, I'm a hardened curry muncher.

Anyway. I'd order again. That's probably the best recommendation you could wish for.

Cheers,
Harry

Yup. I've been to a curry night at the pub and it was great. Spoke to Preety (the chef/proprietor) and her husband and they're doing a great job. It's informal in a pub, comfortable and relaxed with many pints and a rich curry.

It used to be once a month but now it's on every Tuesday.

I had an Indian cooking lesson from Preety who runs best curry a few years ago, the food was brilliant & she is a great teacher. I highly recommend the food.

Re: Best Kept Secret in Zürich? www.bestcurry.ch

Do we know what region the cooks are from? i.e. what are there specialities? I wonder if they'd be willing to put together a regional menu?

(P.S. Why are there no 'thanks' buttons on some posts in this thread?)

That looks excellent. I notice on the menu that you can select the spice level that you prefer.

Will probably give it a look when I am over in a couple of weeks.

Re: Best Kept Secret in Zürich? www.bestcurry.ch

I was on their website and I did not see anything about upcoming curry nights. Do you know if it is every Tuesday? Also, if someone has been there before, what are their prices like?

Re: Best Kept Secret in Zürich? www.bestcurry.ch

Hi
Its every Tues night at Lady Hamiltons, next to Nelsons Pub and cost I think Sfr29. I havent tried the food but we went once and found that the buffet was right in the middle of the pub, so it was not separated, so was pretty dark and smokey. I'd try it if the buffet was at another venue.

Re: Best Kept Secret in Zürich? www.bestcurry.ch

Just want to add that they had a stall at the Expat-Expo in Zug on Sunday (they are now offering delivery in Zug) and I had 2 plates of pakoras for breakfast. Absolutely delicious and the people are really nice with it too.

Highly recommended.
