Topic: Yummefy Asian restaurant, Birmingham, AL

Putting this in talk about rather than reviews for reasons that will quickly become clear.

I called them to make sure they had food I can eat - folks, food allergies suck - and it turns out all their curries are safe for me (no wheat). They call themselves "Asian" as they do some stir fries, Szechuan style stuff, as well as curry.

I was tempted by both the Massaman and the Vindaloo, but as I make Vindaloo at home I went for the Massaman. Mrs ordered the mango chicken curry.

I tasted both. And I could tell they were - ta-daa! - using the same base gravy in both curries. They were different, but both had the same underlying flavour. I would probably never have picked up on that without all my messing around with base gravy recipes from here. That was an interesting revelation!

(Nice side note. For a small restaurant with a small number of draft taps, maybe half of them - 5 or 6 - were local craft beer, the rest the larger national or expected international brands. Remarkable for a small restaurant, maybe a couple of dozen tables.)
