VIENNA (AP) — Hari’s Bistro by Kumar’s Kitchen offers Indian cuisine within the Kolpinghaus Alsergrund, though the ambiance might initially suggest a seminar space rather than a restaurant.
The bistro’s location presents a unique first impression. the name itself, “Hari’s Bistro by Kumar’s Kitchen,” can be perplexing. From the exterior, it resembles a small cafe catering to residents of the Kolpinghaus. Only upon examining the menu does the presence of an Indian restaurant become apparent. The interior maintains a functional, seminar-like atmosphere.
Despite the initial impression, the experience is generally positive. the service is kind,and the menu features both Austrian and Indian dishes. A diner might even be tempted to try the schnitzel.
Vijay Kumar, who previously oversaw Indian cuisine at Do & co, brings his expertise to this new venture.
The menu caters to a diverse clientele. Alongside Austrian staples like Wiener Schnitzel and backhendlsalat (listed under the playful heading “I am on a Diet”), the bistro offers Indian specialties, pasta, burgers, tacos, and wraps. Examples include a Chicken Masala Burger, Avocado Tacos, and Butter chicken Pasta, likely appealing to the student population in the area.
Indian dishes shine
The Indian dishes are especially noteworthy. The Golden mini Samosas,crispy dumplings filled with potatoes,mint,and served with tamarind sauce,cost 7.50 euros and are a tempting starter. The Chicken Tikka Masala with rice, priced at 15.90 euros, is well-prepared. The Biryani, a flavorful rice dish with almonds, cashews, and raisins, is highly recommended, especially with the tender lamb option for 26.50 euros. The spice level is mild. The absence of naan bread, a natural accompaniment, is a drawback, attributed to the lack of a gas oven.
