Tasty Indian Delivery in Park Slope - Joy Indian Restaurant

At least once a week I crave the fragrant and delicious cuisine from India.  When I was a younger man Indian food was not my cup of tea.   But that changed one day and that day is one I absolutely remember.   I was travelling for work and was staying in the M hotel in Singapore.  On Sunday they have "The Sunday High Curry" brunch buffet.   It was pouring out that day and I decided I would eat at the buffet.    There was like 17 different types of curry from all over asia and I absolutely fell in love.   I feel in love with one specific curry the most.   FISH HEAD CURRY!   YUM  

Anyway I digress

We have been ordering our home delivery Indian food from a place called Joy Indian Restaurant.  We have tried all the other local Indian delivery spots and I must say I think this one is the best.   This place doesnt have the most gourmet of Indian but when it comes to stick to your gut delicious Indian food Joy Indian Restaurant is fantastic.

They have one type of curry that I think I want to order a few gallons of and live off of for a few years.   It is called Dildar Curry.    A mild yet spicy curry with pineapple that I order with chicken.   This is so friggin delicious.  

There mushroom shaag is also amazing.   Earthy and fragrantly delicious

I don't claim this place is the best indian food in the world but when it comes to super delicious, absolutely fragrant, yum yum yummy indian food in park slope, you simply can not go wrong with Joy Indian Restaurant.

Whole Foods Lunch Bar Curry Review

Today I had the "pleasure" of going to Whole Foods for lunch.   I walked around the "lunch bar" to see what goodies they had and found the Indian food section.    Being that I am an official curry head, I thought to myself that this was the section of the food court for me.    I served my self some rice with a nice chicken curry and some veg. 

Well....nice was what I thought until I got back to my desk and started eating it.   One of my favorite parts about curry is the moment the fork enters your mouth and the fragrance on the dish hits you right as your tongue is getting its very first taste.    Most people think curry is just this spicy dish but it is actually one of the most fragrant dishes out there.   The smells is what suckers me in every time with curry.  

So how did it go at my desk????    It smelled like chili at best.  It tasted like slightly indian spiced chili.  The rice had an uneven coating of spice and was chunky.  The curry was a total let down.    I saw whole curry leaves in it and thought to myself "well thats a good sign!"    Well it was not.    I would never order it again.  EVER.  

Whole Foods lunch curry is officially narsty.  Avoid avoid avoid.   I think I am going to have to make my own curry tonight just to honor the curry gods since I disgraced them with my lunch!
