I decided to pay them a visit for lunch with my friends and was scrolling through their Facebook page to come across their “Lunch Dabba” deal for a really affordable price. Upon entering the almost empty restaurant I realized that they are open only from 12-3 PM for lunch. We placed our order at 2.40 PM and the dabba was served within 10 quick minutes.
Steam started coming out as soon as they were unboxed. The box contained rice, naan, 1 vegetarian and 1 non-vegetarian dish, and a dessert. They cut one naan into 4 pieces. They weren’t as fluffy as naans regularly tend to be. Infact, were more on the crispier side but not so much that they would crumble. For vegetarian option, we were served Daal Makhani which was creamy, rich, and full of flavors. I also found Rajma used generously and it went exceptionally well with the naan. For rice we got the Matar Pulao. The basmati rice with chopped veggies was a delight! Very light and aromatic. However, it was the chicken which was the highlight of the meal! Four big chunks of chicken in a spice-packed gravy with a tomato base! Best Chicken Tikka Masala I've had till date. Use of tomatoes was abundant and were smooshed into the gravy leaving some texture to the creaminess.
Finally we opened the smallest container and it had one plump looking Gulab Jamun with saffron strands and almond bits in its sugary syrup. It was warm and not overly sweet providing the perfect ending to a great meal.
The only downfall with Kurry Accent is their service and overly dim lights. The waiters needed to go to the kitchen to consult the chef every time we had a request. Other than that, for real, I had no complaints with any of their dishes that day but upon my second visit just 2 days later. The quantity of the rice (that day they had veggie Biryani) and daal had decreased but the taste was still top notch.
I've been hearing gospels of Kurry Accent ever since Ramadan due to their Jilapis so I intended to try this place anyway. However, little did I expect to end up LOVING their food. Fine dine for 2 at just Tk 499, YES PLEASE!
