Is that the one in Church Street ?

If so my mate goes just about every week and speaks very highly about it, he loves his Thai food and when we went the Fat Buddha in Durham he said its not a patch on the one in Church street he goes to

Its number 9 in the tripadvisor list for Hpool restaurants so it cant be bad.

Only been open a few months, but, already changed its name. Suppose there may be problems with Marina Spice, considering there is another Indian called Spices, less than 50 yards away... They are based in the old WestView Projects unit. Never had a look at the menu, but, not surprised if it is indeed expensive as it has always been dead any time I've walked passed it.

If anyone gets the chance you should try Mamtas. I've had a couple of takeaways from them lately and it's head and shoulders above anything I've had in the town. Most other Indians turn out the bog standard crap that you can get from a supermarket, theirs is freshly cooked and tasty as feck.

Always use mamta. Fantastic food.

Cant beat Dilshad imo.

Block B Blues · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2013 2:24 pm

Haven't been there for years tree, always used to be ok though. Try Mamtas though mate, loads better.

try walking round the back of the dilshad next time your there? Bet you dont go again. The grease hanging on the windows and doors is enough to do john travoltas hair.

The kitchen is minging too. Delivered beer there and when they opened the back door there was frozen chicken being defrosted in boiling water, veg on the floor - which was moved to the side by the chef's feet to allow me to roll the keg through.

Not for me thanks

Im well aware of the condition aye, but sadly the cleanliest places dont always produce the tastiest food and vice versa.

try walking behind any takeaway.... They are all a bit scruffy really.

Freaky Teeth · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2013 5:32 pm

It's always been Dilshads for me. However the new Masala lounge is fantastic.

i had one from seaton tandoori on saturday- for the
first time, usually go to dilshad/golden gate.
best indian meal for years

My wife & I go away every few months for a few days break & we nearly always have an Indian meal one of the nights we are away & so far we have yet to find anywhere that compares for value, choice of meals or taste to the Dilshad. This includes Brick Lane in London's East End, Edinburgh, Manchester & Sheffield!!

I've never tried Thai food and have always wanted to and fancy trying this place....but what makes Thai Food different to say Chinese, Indian, etc????

Our lass says she doesn't like it cos it's much sweeter!!!! confised

Compo · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2013 11:33 pm

Isn't Thai food got a lot of lemongrass in it hasn't it?

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2013 11:47 pm

I don't know....but I hate food with Lemon in/on it!!!!

And why when in a restaraunt or pub do they give you a slice of Lemon with your Fish and Chips????

DISGUSTING!!!!

Muttley man, you are confusing pub fish and chips with real fish and chips.
A slice of lemon, that's OK, I can ignore it; but Tartare Sauce... :angry-screaming:

Me and Mrs QK went last night for the happy hour. Very good. Thai food lighter and more subtley spiced than your average Chinese. Recommend to anyone.

You've got to try Mamtas then Aido. I've been going to an Indian restaurant in Aberdeen called Shri Beemas and their food is the best I've ever had, Mamtas runs it a close second though. Look at the reviews on trip advisor and other sites and they are all giving it 5 stars.

but we'll be switching back after last night's slop.
