The article should say English Curry Awards.
The British Curry Awards don't take place until the end of November.

I keep meaning to try this Davyham but its well out my way. A lad I used to work with delivers for them and he rated it highly. I'll talk the missus to a trip up. 

[daveyham]

Gav it is just a take away not a sittydoona.

[Gav Iscon]

Yeah I know that. I've passed it many times (including tonight  )

[daveyham]

It's a 30 mile round trip for me. Might drive down Saturday.
?

[Gav Iscon]

Haha, it'll nearly be that for me. I've driven a lot further though. ;D

The Jaipur T/A West Road Newcastle upon Tyne

This place must have lost it?s award winning chef. It wouldn?t last a week in somewhere like brick lane.
On a score of 0-10. I?m afraid I would have to score it 0.

I?m so disappointed, This is the 1st time I?ve ever posted a food review, but I feel so disappointed.
I was looking forward to trying this take away after reading about it here.
I buy my spices in West Road and thought it sounded good, But what a disappointment.
I ordered a Chicken Karai, Pillau Rice and a Plain Naan.
I like to keep things simple on a 1st visit to a new restaurant.
All of these items I have eaten many many times in lots of different restaurants and T/A?s over the last 40 years. Often in London and Bradford.
This was by far the worst I?ve had.
Some of the chicken was hard, almost unable to cut, and certainly inedible.
The sauce was a bland tomato sauce without the slightest hint of garlic. If I had made this sauce I would not have been able to feed my mates with it, It would be binned.
My 1st impression of the Naan bread was, I thought they had mistakenly given me a Chapati.
It was heavy and flat, it appeared that it may have been under proved and under cooked, absolutely shameful.
The rice was just about ok, but way below my own standard.
This place must have lost it?s award winning chef. It wouldn?t last a week in brick lane.
On a score of 0-10 Im afraid I would have to score it 0.
The staff were very attentive and polite, almost to the point of making me feel uncomfortable while waiting.

You like Brick Lane then?

Brick Lane ........  hmmmmm.  Saw a video on t'internet not too long ago of a poor geeky looking white guy walking past Indian restaurants there minding his own business when he was basically set on by asians - some seemed to be waiters coming out of the restaurants to join the melee.  He was thumped, kicked when on the ground and as he staggered away, one maniac. Waiter smashed him over the head with a large metal advert sign.  How he wasn't seriously damaged / killed is beyond me.  Pure evil racism at it's worst.  You wouldn't catch me anywhere near that area.
