My recent move to Dallas has prompted a feverish exploration of local culinary options. While Indian food is not exactly a rarity in the Dallas area, the choices are quite often - one dimensional. But not The Curry Pot. My first visit to Curry Pot was this past weekend and it coincided with only the most regarded Keralite festival - Onam. There was some chaos given the big turnout for a special lunch (served at the table) buffet. Our table of six was assured of prompt service by the chef, Jacob. He did not disappoint. What followed was a 5 (or 6) course journey through a traditional South Indian feast. The preparation was excellent and service was wonderful given the circumstances. I look forward to many visits and I have been told that the buffet changes on a daily basis. Jacob was very attentive and open to feedback. I highly recommend The Curry Pot for any foodie willing to try the delicate coastal flavors of South India. And for those who missed the delicious Onam sadhya this time - well there is always next year....
