Some 30 years ago, I had only seen Onion Bhaji and Samosa on the Menu (plus a main dish).
After a night out with colleagues, one took me to his local 'Asian' Restaurant where he insisted on ordering for us both, I am glad he did.
Over the next few years. we experimented with many 'local' (walking distance of the town centre) Take away/Cafe's but never really found dishes that were as good.
I don't have a 'sweet tooth' and so have never had a 'dessert' dish,
