Short curry reviews

Raj Tandoori, Berwick Street

Had lunch in here while skiving from Christmas shopping. Tiny place which looks like it could only seat 20-30 (maybe there's another room upstairs?). Food was OK, pleasant service. I think I wrote some notes on something but can't find them now.

Rajmoni, Upper Street

I have been to Rajmoni a few times. Last time was after about ten pints of Guinness on Saturday afternoon, and both my wits and hunger were suppressed but having promised the ladies dinner, we were not going to escape having to eat. I don't really remember what the food was like.

Previous experiences have been OK but not amazing. One nice thing is that they keep sending you special offers in the post if you get them to deliver takeaway.

Tasty Spice, Caledonian Road

Cheap takeaway. Curries are so-so, breads ditto, but the tandoori is excellent. Why not get a lamb and a chicken tikka and a portion of vindaloo sauce? (The vindaloo sauce things is an excellent trick — it turns out that most curry houses will do this.)

A telly in the corner seems always to find Coronation Street or the local news. The table at which you can sit while waiting has The Mirror from yesterday and sometime last week.

Has recently changed hands and now has a much longer and slightly more expensive menu ("We have the great pleasure of having one of the most highly renowned chefs from India to prepare your favourite dishes") from which I have not yet eaten.

Hillmarton Tandoori, Hillmarton Road

Another takeaway-only place. The curries and the tandoori are pretty good.

They seem to have better taste in television and reading material.
