I'm near Taunton and will be going there for my next eat in, cheers Fishy.
Should do well as the competition is pretty poor.

Hi Hcool!
Please share what you think of the food there. I don't see any of my familiar favourites on their Taunton menu, but the Cardiff one has a vindaloo.
Cheers :)

Have you tried Uddins resturant on eastreach they do the best curry i have ever tasted, especially the jalfriezi
-
I've tried them all I reckon though not been to Uddins for a while, it's just a takeaway though isn't it? Used to be anyway.
I normally go to Miriams by the multi storey or the one in Langport which is closer to me.
-
I have'nt tried Miriams, i know they have won curry house of the year at some point, how do you rate them?.
Regarding Uddins they are my favourite at present, they are resturant or takeout and depending on which chef cooks you'll either get a good dish or a fantastic dish, we have asked them for cooking lessons but they are reluctant
-
Hi Fishy, you did try Miriams, I had a Phall, which was amazing! I cannot remember what you had, although I believe that you thought Uddins was better, probably a Jahl Frezi! It was a while ago ;D
-
Hi Terramamba, i cant remember that, maybe for a reason?. must meet for a curry been along time.

Too much beer I think!! :o
Just over a week is not a long time in my book ;D

Still haven't made it to mint and mustard, booked in on Tuesday night.
Anyone else been?

Doesn't nearly every BIR in the UK put up a sticker claiming to have won some award or other? It all seems so fake.
-
Good point George, reminds me of my holidays in Cornwall. Always have a chuckle with the Mrs at the award winning pasty shops.
-
I don't know if it is still the case, but there was certainly a time not all that long ago where the "award" certificates proudly displayed on many BIR walls were, in fact, bought from unscrupulous vendors of the same :(

Hi Hcoool!
Do please let us know what you think of Mint & Mustard, I regularly drive by but we've got our favourites, have you tried Ruby's in Station Road, their chicken tikka is amazing. After I complimented the chef on his chicken I was invited into the kitchen to see the charcoal fired tandoor! The very enthusiastic chef told me that the charcoal gives that 'smokey' flavour. Shame that Ruby's never seems that busy, as we find their curries are very good.
All the best, Colette :)

Sorry for the late report but here is what I thought.
Very expensive and small portions although it was nice but not amazing. I had a seek kebab starter followed by a Syrian beef curry which were 6.95 and 13.95 and it didn't really touch the sides. That was along with a chilli & coriander nan bread and bits of other peoples who I was with.
I won't be going back that's for sure but I had to try it although I'll try Rubys next time.
Be careul if you're driving and order a king Cobra as it's 750ml and is 8% which would probably put you over the limit. My dad who was driving had one and didn't realise it was 8% until I pointed it out.
Amongst the other things I tried was a bit of the bass curry and tandoori chicken which were both nice but not amazing again.
I prefer good old BIR curry and not all this contemporary stuff but it was busy on a Tuesday night so each to their own.
Cheers.

Hi Hcool!
Thank you for your thoughts on Mint & Mustard! Seems very, very expensive, for Taunton anyway! Sounds like there wasn't enough food too! At least they sell decent beer!
The Bass Curry? Do you mean Sea Bass?
Do try Ruby's their curries are great!
Cheers :)
-
The Mint and Mustard in Cardiff is still good, but when Anand George left to start his own restaurant, The Purple Poppadom, there was a difference.
I still eat at its sister restaurant Chai Street.
Anand George is a brilliant chef. He has cooked the best food I have ever eaten. He is that good.
I wouldn't mind taking a masterclass with him during the summer.

The only bass in this country comes from the sea, a bass is a bass. :)

Ha ha ha!!! That's my knowledge of fish, a big fat nil! :)
I tried a Mongolian Fish Curry, somewhere in Bristol, put me right off. Prawns IMHO are ok, give me chicken any day!
So what was the bass curry like? Would you cook it?
Cheers, Colette. :)

Hi Stonecut!
Thanks for that :) I feel slightly less dumb ::)
I also found on Wiki, that in the UK, it's marine. North America have both.
Cheers :)

Might try Ruby's tomorrow night just for a takeaway.
