Kismat, great old fashioned indian food offered in a tiny part of Wirral. 😋
Bittersweet moment as the name brought back memories of Kismat Balti House. The name Kismet or kismat is an Arabic word for fate or destiny. It was meant to be for me to try it out, although when my dad ran a take away with the same name in one of the roughest parts in the county - Birkenhead North End. He failed but it won't stop me from supporting other local restaurants who love what they do and most of them try to make a honest living.
Some may argue that the days of curry houses are of yesteryears and it has lost out to trendy joints and other cuisines. But I do remember the days of working in them. It was fun and the people working tried to do their best and serve spicy cuisine with a smile. Hope these good old family run restaurants stay relevant and profitable.
There could be a reason why something happens, some businesses succeed and others fail. But I can assure you that I will trying and keep enjoying the delicious food this world has got to offer. Because I wasn't able to help get customers to my dad's businesd doesn't mean I can't continue helping other owners who have big dreams and ambitions like most of us.
Can't wait to try another food place...
