The lads and I had a short tour last week and sampled a few curries.
We're all 35-40+ and like a good curry and are all from Yorkshire (to give the regional tastebud boffs a medium).
Northampton - can't remember the name of the place, but utter rubbish.
Bradford - Kashmir - downstairs part..nice basic and good stuff. Free poppadoms and dip, 6 people fed and mango lassi-ed for 38 quid...very very good food. Meals tried - madras, achiri, korma, dupiaza, Kashmiri.
Gateshead - Paprika - was worried initially as empty. Food absolutely amazing apart from samosa starter slightly undercooked. Best curry of the tour. Meals tried - dupiaza, Jal Jul Hash, madras, Kashmiri.
