Food: 7.5/10 Service: 7.5/10 Solo dinner ambience: 7/10
Hors d'oeuvres: Poppadoms- Bog standard crispy things
- OK lime pickle (why do so few curry shops offer chilli pickle?)
- Mango chutney a bit unusual - smoother texture, very glossy, looked almost slightly pink - almost like sweet and sour sauce. Taste still the same as usual if not quite as oversweet as some.
- Yoghurt thing green not yellow
- Onion thing seemed OK on first glance but closer inspection revealed that it still contained small bits of cucumber
- Amazingly large portion for 3.50 GBP
- Two big bits of each of chicken and lamb tikka - nicely spicy, tender, well cooked without becoming dry. Top marks.
- Sheekh kebab a bit dry
- Shami kebab seemed to be the same stuff as the sheekh which is lame. It should have lentils and a bunch of extra coriander IMO
- Came on a sizzly dish with nice crispy/caramelised onions
- Dhansak OK - neither curry nor meat were fatty. Pokey enough to get the sweat glands going. Could have done with a wedge of lemon though
- Rice poor - overcooked to the point that you could hardly tell it was basmati
Bevvy: Pint of Kingfisher - cold, not flat or off, hard to go wrong really. Nothing much interesting on the menu, booze-wise.
Have been back once since — about the same the second time. Well worthy a visit.
