Topic: Need a BIR recommendation in Lincoln!

[joshallen2k]

Hi All,

After 6 years, business finally brings me back to the UK.

First on the agenda is a BIR meal 

My first night there I am going to be in Lincoln.

Need a recommendation of the BEST in Lincoln.

I think SnS is from the area, and that the Saffron is located there. If that's the best, then great. If there's somewhere else, please let me know.

Aside from re-experiencing BIR cuisine, this will really give me a yardstick as to whether I am actually close to what I remember or not. I will share the experience with the forum!

Thanks!

very lucky chappy.

it's a bit of a jaunt across the penines for me but i it would be hard to resist if your thinking along the lines of a night out with any takers.

Wasn't the BIR where SnS got his base method from in Limcoln|?  That's supposed to be good, can't remember the name though!

The Saffron??

[SnS]

Hi Josh

Saffron at Bailgate or the Bombay (at bottom of Steep Hill) ... both very good ... Not Saffron on a Monday (chefs day off). If you want Saffron on a Friday or Saturday you will have to book in advance.

Tiger Prawn Jalfrezi Xtra hot with Xtra coriander is my favourite.

Royal Tandoori (High Sreet) is also supposed to be very good but I havn't been there for a while.

ps Saffron - 01522 548377

hi josh you could try to get in the kitchen and may be film your meal being cooked, or just watch it being cooked? it will inspire you plus the buzz is fantastic and your curry cooking will change for the better, or you may just be frustrated that you just cannot get that flavour aroma/taste. oh and lastly don't forget to buy some curry gravy and oil that way you could cook a meal with it as you are miles away from home    or you could just enjoy the meal and have a great night out ;D

OK, its actually a Wednesday I think, so I think I will try the Saffron.

I will be meeting an old acquaintance and I've pre-warned her that my first night will be a curry. (As will every other night, she just doesn't know that yet  ;D )

She said that she knows a "great contemporary Indian" in Lincoln, whatever that means. I will try and find out the name and have SnS vet

Really looking forward to this. The Tiger Prawn Jalfrezi Xtra Hot sounds great. (Drooling at the thought). That will go nice with the Madras and CTM I will also be ordering  ;D

Just let me know and I'll try it over the weekend. Be funny if she recommended the Saffron.

Sns  ;D :

This is funny. I asked what the name of the "great contemporary Indian" was and this was the reply:

The Place is called Saffron but, nevermind we can get an indian some-place else.
Some-one to ''pre-vet''? so you don't trust my judgement?!?!?  Un-impressed!

Guess I'm going to the Saffron! Small world.

Good choice Josh
