Gonna take the wife out for a meal in a couple of weeks and fancy a good old curry. I remember you's lot drooling over the ones on the marina but can't remember which was deemed to be the best. I've always gone to the ones down the Golden Gate or the one in Bianco's old gaff but can't be chewed going down Church Street so any tips?

Seaton Tandoori is small and well priced, and also very nice, nice romantic meal in there ripper, get her in the mood, take her home, put on some barry white, candals, silk sheets...

Cinnamon's is lush

Spices, down the Marina always get my vote. Been there a few times in the last couple of month. Very nice

Crazy Horse is my favourite indian

How's his chappatis?

I would say painful if hes riding that horse all day

Agreed, love it in there.

But my new favourite is the Rajpooth on Claypath Durham, but that's a bit of a trek for you Ripper!

Isn't that the one where they give you a free brandy after your first visit, as a treat?
I mean, it was very generous but there was nothing I fancied less than a brandy, after a curry, but I didn't like to refuse.
Yes, food is very good, tho.

You turning down free booze, honsetly!

Cafe India is clean and does a very good curry.

You cant go wrong with Spices if you treck over the marina. I was there at the weekend and its pretty faultless. The only negative was that they have changed their onion bahji's so they are now flat like pancakes and soggy rather than crispy. Not right!

I concur

The pickle had a bit of a kick to it!

I know an Indian with a bit of a kick to her!

It's true you know, skin colour is irrelevant, woman are stroppy irrespective of skin tone!

My wife had the chicken's chutt...

isnt that called the parsons nose or something

I can just imagine Ken, dressed like Barry White, candle on his not red napper and waving a silk sheet.

Their lass would kick his head right off and burn his Carter CD's.

Harsh.



True, but harsh.

Aye, thats why I went back to the Grand. They don't castrate you in the Grand if you shit the bed.

They might if you do it twice though.



Edit: Good swift use of the "delete post" button there Mr Spender.

They never allowed me to stay there twice......

Ive give up on indians in this town although I haven't been to cafe india for a while...
anyway those on the marina are err ok IF you like more chemicals than the hacienda in your food
orrible orrible orrible but some beautiful colours
Nice inside the places tho on a positive note

Spices onion bhagis have always been flat as long as i remember. I quite enjoy them.

Used to go to Cafe India every week till one week he asked if we would move seat (even though there was only us and 1 other family in) and when i reluctently said yes, he then asked us to move again later on. I walked out and never been back since.

Do you think that was his plan or did he have a reason for asking you to move?



Maybe your moaning was turning the cream sour in the kitchens?

Nah, each time people came in who i guess were his regulars (even though i went eveyr monday night for about 3 months) and wanted their usual seats. Our lass still moans cos its her favourite indian but fuck going back.

What a fkin liberty!

My favourite Indian is Freida Pinto or Sachin Tendulkar.

Mambtas on York road cracking for take aways, Lamb Korai particularly good and you get free baji's when you spend a tenner

Cant beat Dilshads for a top notch curry and cheap prices. Poppadoms is nice over the marina for soemthing a bit more 'exotic'

Well I took Mrs R out for her Valentine's meal on Saturday and took the advice of Cinnamon's and was very impressed.

Had a little worry when we went in cos it was packed and we hadn't booked, but he squeezed us in and I'm glad he did. The food was lush, the service was great, the wine was nice and it was all very reasonably priced. Couldn't recommend the place highly enough and will definitely be going again in the future.

We also went in the new bar Black Olive beforehand. What a nice place. There was barely anybody in when we got there so got parked on the comfy chairs by the window and had a few drinks. A little on the pricey side but worth paying a bit more to keep the pricks out. Went back in there after the meal though and it was rammed, couldn't move never mind get to the bar, so we buggered off and slummed it in Vibes for a couple of drinks before going home, didn't matter so much by then cos I was trolleyed anyway!

As a matter of interest, what sort of wine did you have with the curry?
I like cider with mine. Once read a foodie writer who claimed that red wine goes well with spicy food, so I tried it and as I predicted, I didn't agree!

You've just got to have red wine with pasta dishes though. Anyone who disagrees with that must be a Leeds supporter.

I never drink beer with food...spoils the beer and the food.
Beer is for drinking before food......ie a couple of pints before yer Sunday dinner is the perfect example.

I drink wine with food and I have never found a bottle of red wine yet that goes with fish dishes, so I tend to agree with white with fish.

Like most things.......ya pays yer money and takes yer choice.
