We had Naga chilly pork and naga chicken fry for starters, which tasted really good and could relish the characteristic flavour of naga food. We ordered fresh pork thalli + dry fish(additional) and and smoked pork thali + akhuni (additional) And the naga rice beer Zutho.
The meals include :
1. Rice (was too much to finish, but they have no meal sharing policy so couldn't help)
2. Boiled vegies : cabbage, carrot, beans and bamboo shoots
3. Pork curry (alternates are chicken/fish/veg) : hot spicy, soupy and yum. We added akhuni (optional) and it tasted amazing and the hype about bad odour didn't feel to be true (borderline disappointed there 😂 #justkidding). Both the curries of fresh pork and smoked pork was good. But if you gotta choose only one, try smoked pork. They tasted like a typical north eastern curry with bamboo shoot. (All the non veg preparations are with bones, if one is strict about boneless pieces, they might not enjoy)
4. Naga chilly pork (alternates are chicken/fish/veg) : we already had them for starters and it's the reason we went ahead with meals.
5. Mashed potato with dry fish : tasted a little too salty but it is natural as dry fish can't exist without salt.
6. Chutney : made from egg plants, but quite unique in taste compared to the version common elsewhere.
7. Boiled dal : boiled pulses with salt, quite bland and complements the spicy hot dishes extremely well.
The hospitality was good.
Though intially locating the place was a little difficult, but overall worth a try for experimenting with tastes.
PS : I had someone with me who doesn't like pork and never tried Akhuni, and they came out liking both.
I'm not from North East, South Indian, likes to try out new cuisine. Went to Smokey restaurant. Spoke to other customers who are from North East, they said it's really authentic Naga taste. Food taste is good. Should are slightly different taste from other places. Pork dishes are really good but the pork may is cut into very small pieces and also little hard to chew.
Wow I love it. Far away from home I just feel my home feel home today visiting this restaurant. Sadly smokey Axone was not there my bed luck but I enjoy a lot that pork with dry bamboo shoots. After lunch the owner Mr. X (sorry bro that I didn't ask your name) and we had a great time together chatting for some 10 minutes. Thanks for your friendly and homily welcome. Definitely it is a place to visit. Prize are very reasonable with good quality meals. Surely will visit again.
