We were seeing a play at Center Stage and wanted to grab some food first. I knew the neighborhood somewhat, especially Mughal Garden and the Helmand. But, we wanted to try someplace new. A few googles away, and we found Kumari, an Indian, Nepalese, Tibetan restaurant. We arrived just before 6 and the place was mostly empty. We attributed it to the hour and the snowpocalypse of the past week.

We started with pompadons and three chutney. The ‘brown’ was a tad too sweet, but the other two were nice

Then we split an appetizer of chicken mu-mu, very similar to steamed chicken dumplings. It was large, about 7 large pieces These were served with a type of spicy tiki masala sauce. Very yummy but filling.

For dinner, I ordered the chicken vindaloo, Indian-level spice. Diane got the lamb saag, regular spice. The saag was great. The vindaloo was nice. It was hot (I sweated profusely) but I didn’t taste much burn or spice. Sad. But, I’d like to try the curry or jalfreezi next time. We had plain naan and rice as sides. Very fresh and good.
