Curry Leaf Restaurant
Albuquerque, NM
September 2, 2018
The better-half and I have an ongoing debate between 4 and 5 stars on the rating here, but since I wield the mighty pen, the 4-star stands until at least our next visit.
The dining room is absolutely lovely, and the staff polite, quiet, and efficient. We have not yet tried a plated dinner from the menu, which would likely tip the scales one way or the other and settle the debate.
We end up getting the buffet every time because they consistently include Goat Curry, and a seriously goaty curry at that. Most Goat Curry we have found in North America is pretty shy with the actual goat, tossing in just a few pieces of boney meat. Not Curry Leaf! The Goat Curry is packed with meaty chunks, and even the bone bits have more meat on them than you generally find in a whole serving of similar curries in town.
Goat is fifth in my list of favorite proteins, so its inclusion isn't a deciding factor for me. Don't get me wrong, though, we have had consistently good service here, and the buffet never fails to please, so I am definitely a fan. We will keep coming back, and perhaps I will find the wow-factor eventually for that fifth star.
