Taste of India

[sasguru]

Absolute bollocks. I'd struggle to find some non-Kashmiri/Pakistani heritage stuff in west Yorkshire.

Can't be bollocks. Assguru wrote it so it must be true.

I was talking about the centre of the world aka that there London.
May be different in Northern monkey areas.

Anyway Pakistani cuisine is still not Indian

Been to most of the "best" Cinnamon Club, Chutney Marys etc.

However as LM stated earlier, this is one of the best IMO....

Looks good will try to book a table this w/e to assuage my withdrawal symptoms.
Hope they serve Kingfisher, serving wine with Indian food is just not right.

They do Cobra and Kingfisher .

Can really recommend the Chicken Chetinnad and the marinated for 100 hour steamed Lamb.
Sundays they only do a buffet, which I have not yet tried.

Great staff and totally different from your usual Indian, obviously.

Let us know what you think

We're finally starting to see the 'real thing' (if there is one) here abouts (Manchester).

We have a restaurant that specialises in 'Mumbai street food' (and very good it is too): Cheadle, Greater Manchester
We have one that does a wide variety of street food.Cheadle, Greater Mancher
And one that does a kind of hybrid.Stockport, Greater Manchester

All of these require booking before hand. I'm sure there are others but when you find a good one you stick with it.

I had the Laverstoke Park buffalo last time I was there. Fantastic.

Looks like they've got a couple of new items on the menu too. Might have to book in for another visit.

I like the regional / special menus they put on at certain times of the year.

The only time I have -slightly- seen them struggle was when we turned up mob handed - 20 diners.

Even so, the service barely missed a beat .

Yes, when some people had the three courses and others only two. Got a bit lob-sided but the food was still excellent. We'll have to go next time I bring the enemy down.

I agree most of the takeaways aren't proper Indian. Been on a few business trip to India and tried the food at local restaurants (not 5 star hotels), and it is completely different (in a good way) to the local takeaways here.

Having said that, there are lot of good Indian restaurants here too. There is one in covent garden (Punjabi something, don't know the exact name), that is excellent. And ofcourse, if you go to Southall you will definitely get good ones.

Another place that was interesting was Leicester(Belgrave Road, I believe), amazing food, lot different from what is offered in curry houses
