Me and the Mrs are on somewhat of a curry odyssey since I managed to convert her from being a fussy fool to a curry connoisseur.  Well, we're more like armchair enthusiasts to be honest!  Anyway, we're going down to Newcastle on Saturday and are always keen to try local curry shops when we go to new places.  The curries we usually go for are balti, madras, rogan josh, jalfrezi and garlic chilli.  The reason I'm saying this is because I know certain places may be better for particular dishes, but we're definitely up for trying anything suggested.   

ps, I've been lurking on this site for a while and it's a real goldmine!  Thanks for all the tips and recipes so far.
