Lets Talk Curry / Re: Britain's most delicious curry houses
« Last post by George on September 08, 2025, 09:18 AM »
One of my current interests is trying different places for breakfast. I quite often pay up to about £25 and consider it fair value for the setting and spread of food on offer. It's mostly abroad, not least because the UK is often so expensive, as in poor value for money. There's a 5 star hotel near Watford called The Grove which offers breakfast for £40 and lunches from £50. The buffets look very good, as can be seen in some youtube videos. I have been meaning to try one of those options but, I must admit, the prices put me off, plus recent health warnings to be more careful about what I eat. The Birmingham Indian place with 2 Michelin stars is even more expensive. I am tempted, though, for early October.

I agree it’s a lot, George (well, for most of us, at least) but I would be willing to spend that amount once or twice in the course of a year if I was reasonably confident that I would get value for money ...

Many thanks for finding the review and posting the link. I agree it increases the chance of me visiting the restaurant. I expect to be visiting Birmingham at the start of October. But £60 or more is so much to pay for a meal, regardless of how good it might be.

Thanks for the video link. I certainly wouldn't spend money for all the fuss and trouble they go to for food which seems more about stylish presentation, rather than anything else. I suggest it's OTT. I'm after great taste and flavour. Even if some of their food tastes amazing, the quantities seems so small, I think it could be frustrating. As someone says in a comment below the video, you risk leaving still hungry.

Read this review, George — I think that you may change your mind ...

Starters and Side Dishes Chat / Chicken samosa
« Last post by Kashmiri Bob on September 06, 2025, 12:09 PM »
Got 20 Humza frozen samosas for £3 from Tesco with a clubcard offer. So 15 p each. Cooked from frozen in a deep fat fryer. Each stuck with a clove when partly cooked. This makes sure some of the "bhaji" oil has access to the filling. Makes all the difference.

Basic Prawn curry. Planned to add mushrooms, but forgot to buy any. So went with spuds.

Lets Talk Curry / Tandoori lamb chops starter (3): £69.00
« Last post by Kashmiri Bob on August 30, 2025, 05:47 PM »
To be fair they are huge lamb chops. Was a bit worried when he also ordered Chicken chops. The Guinea fowl Changezi could do with being a bit more oily, imo. And where is the mango chutney?

Lets Talk Curry / Wholesale Doner Kebab Meat
« Last post by Kashmiri Bob on August 28, 2025, 04:12 PM »
Found this place, in Birmingham. There are several other branches in England. The ingredient lists are interesting. If not shown it may be possible to zoom in on the product photo itself. Perhaps we can forgive Farmfoods and Iceland now? Actually, it's making me hungry just looking at them. Search for "Doner kebab".
