| - I went here for dinner (on a Monday night) on the recommendation of a friend. Was planning to order something veggie, and all their veggie options were appealing... but when I saw the Khasi Ko Masu I couldn't pass it up. (I love love love eating goat!)
(KHASI KO MASU $17
Wisconsin farm rasied goat meat, a favorite dish of the Himalayan region. Prepared bone-in, in a home blend of curry sauce with tomatoes and cilantro with a side of sauteed vegetables. Served with rice and choice of dal or salad.)
I had it with dal and Chiya (pronounced Chai-uh, not chia.... don't make the same mistakes as me....) which is a sort of milk tea.
The dal was more like a soup than the Indian version of Daal. It was excellent... spicy, temperature-hot, and had a variety of veggie and beany textures in it. I could imagine this being an excellent cure for the common cold or stomach pangs.
Chiya was fine, it's not all honeyed and spiced up the way Indian chai is, but it was nice, warm, refreshing.
The goat was one of the best goat-meals I've ever had. The menu says "bone in" but mine didn't have any bones. It was soft as pot-roast, excellently spiced, perfect portion size.
Maybe a little expensive, but hey, the place is right downtown, it's very nice inside. Service was excellent. Haters gonna hate, but I loved this place. Next time I'm in Madison I'll have to try Himal Chuli and see what the fuss is all about... but Chautara's goat is going to be hard to top.
