Advantages: modern, good food at reasonable prices

Disadvantages: bit too warm!

The Kury Indian resturant has not long opened in the centre of Aberdeen (bottom of King St where it joins Union St for the natives!). It replaced another Indian, Khans, which has moved to different premises and is nowhere as good as it used to be.

My first visit to the Kury (yes thats how they spell it!) restuarant was very enjoyable and totally different from other places in Aberdeen. The decor is very modern with polished wooden floors, metal furniture and strobe lights - not your usual red and gold wallpaper. The bar was modern and again continued the metal and chrome decor. Even the music was up to date chart stuff and not the traditional Indian sitar music. It definately did not seem to be the usual run-of-the-mill Indian.

Another major advantage is that is about the only resturant that has a buffet on a Saturday night. The buffet costs £14.95 and is well worth it - you could go up as often as you liked!.
The starters were mainly pakora and bhajees(?) but the one huge advantage was that everything was labelled - you knew exactly what you were eating. This is very useful if you are a vegetarian or there are certain things you just don't like! There was a choice of at least 8 main courses, again all of which were labelled. They consisted of dhals, kormas, and curries which were mainly chicken for the meat eaters. There was also a salad bar which had crispy salad (impressive under the hot lights) and lots of pickles and sauces to choose from as well.

The wine menu was quite long with a good range of red and white wines. The house wine was lovely and it was only £10 a bottle with 2 whites and 2 reds to chose from. The staff were very helpful, friendly and a good laugh. We were there for my friends hen night and the waiters entered into the spirit of the party well and truly!

It was an enjoyable night and a complete change from the usual Indian resturant. This is definately an Indian resturant for the y
ear 2000.
