Anyone in Brum try round the Balti Triangle in Sparkhill/Sparkbrook, but lock your cars up.

Lal Qila on the curry mile is pretty decent - reasonably priced, too

Which is the one that used to be Liberty Street way back? That's not bad.

Haven't had Indian for ages - it's pricey and shhhhockingly bad in Madrid - strictly for British tourists confused by Spanish menus.

Rajdoot in Ruislip Manor is our favourite. Love their Tikka Masala.

Shimla Pinks accross the road from St. Mary's Parsonage in manchester is my favourite curry house, everything cooked to perfection and the finger food is just top quality

Deeeeeeeeelish :D :D :D
Bolton's forst Indian restaurant; The Kismet" on Banks Street, upstairs next to Prestons, still has never been beaten for me.
Long time ago though now. The Royal Balti House on Market Street Farnworth wqs okay last time I went.

I believe you are referring to The Gates - I rate that as average, flatters to deceive - whereas everyone I send to Sharju's in Adlington always comes back and says it was lovely.

Shimla Pinks' in Manchester is nice but pricey for what you get, true gourmet indian lovers should go to the Rajdoot on Albert Square. Apparently now a chain across the UK.

For anyone out in Dublin, the Jaipur in Malahide is something special, vindaloo curry crab claws, and various other unusual dishes, - class.

or just dont take your car! drove through there last week and i was terrified! and it was only about 5pm, but it was election day so everyone was a bit psycho :?

Keveh - all the food in Wetherspoons comes frozen and already portioned, so all the 'chef' does is take it out of the wrapper and heat it up, so probably not his fault! When i first found that out it really put me off, then i decided thats probably what most pubs do, and its alright food, and cheap so i started going again!

As for best curries, im clueless, just like hot ones :mrgreen:
Nay-Nay: so good they named me twice

Could well be M. Not been mid-week but it's a decent place but closes about 12-30 at weekends to keep the idiots out. :mrgreen:

lol yeah sounds about right that! starter, king prawn meal, keema rice and a naan bread x 4 for the family and the bills about 20 quid or something daft like that. And the food is actually bloody gorgeous and all, especially the breads.

Spice Valley as well, as someone mentioned, is a great place for a sit in meal. Must be pretty authentic stuff because you get a fair few Indians eating there. Up the road near Asda is a place called The Pavilion, which i wouldn't recommend in all honesty.

the staff at the Balti House are tremendous too. Sri Lankan for the most part, really friendly, remembering your names and all sorts. Good lads.......must go back

Shimla pinks is the best, very cosmopolitan and excellent food. Then Alom's in Horwich is good and Moghuls in Bolton is superb as well.

You used to take your own nan to the curry shop? Isn't that like taking your own beer to the pub?
