About this place
Chicken, pork vindaloo or lamb keema? At Goto Kari, part of the pleasure is deciding whether to choose one curry or compare two or three in a combination. One diner enjoyed the chicken and lamb keema combination; another chose all three and noted the distinct spicing of the chicken, pork and lamb.
For a single curry, the options include chicken, pork vindaloo and lamb keema. A diner described the lamb keema as meaty and assertively spiced, with the accompanying yoghurt softening its flavour when mixed in. Another reported that the pork vindaloo was only mildly tart and gently spicy, with pork braised until even the cartilage was tender. The chicken curry, meanwhile, was described as light in texture, with chicken so tender it could be taken off the bone with a spoon. A combination is a good way to sample the differences at once.
For a meal centred less on curry and more on drinks and snacks, there is the Otsumami Curry Plate: two curries, side dishes and paratha. It lends itself to leisurely nibbling alongside craft beer or a glass of wine. The menu also includes a chickpea salad and a spiced omelette, both available without coriander. These make it easy to start with a small dish and a drink rather than a full curry meal.
For dessert, try kulfi, described as an Indian frozen sweet, or a brownie scented with spices. Masala chai is served hot only, offering a warming finish after a curry. The restaurant is presented as suitable for solo diners, and has both indoor and terrace seating. Whether stopping by for a combination-curry lunch or starting dinner with a light dish and a drink, there are different ways to shape a meal here.
