Balbirs in glasgow is/was better than Mother India. Mmmmmmmmmmm curry. I´m at least 4hrs in a car from the nearest curry place and I guess it´ll be rubbish. First stop after getting off the plane in Scotland is always Balbirs!
Karachi, Bradford, for cheap and chearful.
Punjab, Lister Hills, Bradford, for la-di-da.
For Glasgow, the Wee Curry House in Ashton lane (I think it's the same folk that own Mother India). Small menu, but everything tastes so fresh.
Mother India's Cafe is my favourite in Glasgow. I've never tried Balbir's but have heard very good things.
For those in the London/South East area I've found The Surrey Palace in Ewell was excellent.
Price of Bengal in North Walsham, north of Norwich-NEVER had better, ever!
Local Helsby Spice is always grand, speed dial on the phone!
Best curry ever was at The Dhabba in Merchant City, Glasgow. Really tasty and better than Mother India IMHO. Try it.
Miah in Guildford has never disappointed but only does takeaways.
Mmmm feeling hungry now.
Eastern Eye, Albert Rd Southsea. For the south coast massive.
dhabbas and mother india are ok, i've been underwhelmed by balbirs each time i've been there. TWCH for the win
The Marharaja on London Road in Liverpool.
Lahores on ladypool rd brum really good
Planet India in Brighton. Great Gujarati food, proper beer selection (including Trappist), reggae on the sound system.
Surprised nobody's mentioned Diwana, around the corner from Euston Station.
+1 for the Dhabba in Glasgow I was there on Saturday.
The Pir Palace in Uddingston is also great, food is unbeliavable if you can live with the sticky carpets and 15 year old wallpaper!
York Spice funnily enough in York, great little curry house with a couple of decent pubs nearby,some different cdjshes from the normal
The Viva Goan, just outside Calangute towards Candolim. Bit far to travel for what looks like a transport caff but hells bells, the curries in there are the real thing, plus....
2 starters,
2 mains,
1 keema rice (it's all you need for 2)
2 garlic naans,
5 Kingfisher beers,
£4.40 each.
I felt like a burst couch.
Another vote for the Spice Lounge in Culcheth, astounding food.
Also the Malanchoo in Earlstown. Staff are very friendly, food is excellent and they do free delivery for take-away. Strongly recommended.
How many people had a curry last night as a result of reading this thread???
I did!!
Azram's Sheesh Mahal in Leeds. Happy days
Another vote for Mother India, both the cafe and main restaurant. Garlic pittas are excellent and there's a lamb leg dish for two, the remains of which are usually carted up the road in a doggy bag.
Arti in Leeds.
azeems in keighley... BYO beer.
go for a handi, either lamb or fish... world class.
will be back in london on weds, first stop jai krshna in turnpike lane, veg gudjarati place, cheap and simple, BYO. it's been 2 years since my last decent ruby, i might just cry...
Sheesh on Kirkstall Rd, Leeds.
Kashmir in Bradford
Got to say it as its slightly commercialised but the Aagrah eat-all-you-can buffet in Shipley was amazingly good. Possibly the best I've ever had. And it had jelly and ice cream for desert.
Kamraan in Halifax for excellent food despite last time I went them being in the middle of refurbishment works so I was literally sat in a building site with plastic sheets over everything for the dust. But for a fiver for 3 courses, who can complain!
Anyone else been to Mumtaz in Bradford? What a place that is!
Their turnover must be tens of millions.
Kushis in Edinburgh... Though the quality seems to have fallen a bit with the move to the new place. My mum and dad have been going there since about 1960
the Mosque Kitchen's also very good.
Of the five in Truro (rather a lot for such a small "city") the cheapest is the best!
Spice Hut, takeaway only.
The Spice Lounge, Culcheth (near Warrington)
Just been and am stuffed full of lovely lovely curry.
jewel in the crown - aberdeen. stunning.
All I'll add is don't go to Akbars in Bradford. Recent bad experience and disappointing service.
Indian Brasserie in Cheltenham is good for fresh South Indian food
Curry Corner in Cheltenham is awesome for that fine dining special occasion curry.
aisa llandudno, was amazing.... however it could have been the fact that I had been awake for 72 hours and had just run 26 miles over 10000ft of climbing that made it taste to sweet.
The Orchard Maharajah on Cuppage Terrace in Singapore.
The recently opened Mr. India in Warwick is very good too.
Anyone else been to Mumtaz in Bradford? What a place that is!
I know it's highly rated but it didn't do much for me - I guess it's very 'authentic. It was quite a few years ago but I remember having to chose from a few already prepared dishes (majority vegetarian) - prefer to be able to select from a nice long menu.
Popular Balti Restaurant in Sparkbrook Birmingham.
Table Nans, bring your own beer, open till around 4am at the weekends and last bill was only £115 for 12 off us
Can't believe Joolsburger said Mirch Masala in Norbury - small world and a great great shout: we would regularly drive there from Brighton (~50 min drive).
The other tip is a members-only club just outside Crawley called The Ram which has a restaurant and bar. The food, just as at Mirch, is properly authentic, properly delicious and incredibly good value.
Now I want curry, not spag bol
