Went ok - but I only gave myself 5 out of 10 for the results. My fault entirely - loaded too much into it at once with differing cooking times needed. 4x large chicken pieces and 4x lamb chops. One burnt, one not quite done. Didn't seal the insides with salt water - so naan stuck firm. All sorted now - you have to learn by your experience the hard way !

Good write up - shame they priced themselves out of it from sound of it. I have always believed that an excellent quality at a fair price will attract enough punters to maintain a business.
I know what you mean about the immigration scourge. It is often reported in the local Manchester papers that certain well known local eateries are hastily shut down for a time re illegals found working there in sufficient numbers for the place to close immediately.
This has even happened at my corner Nisa shop - where a crackdown on Iranian / Polish linked traffickers caused a closure for a few days. This was linked to a wider NW problem. Ringleaders jailed.

The whole episode is beyond belief - enough to put anyone off venturing anywhere near the place in search of a curry.
Rusholme in Manchester at Eid is also a dangerous place - and police checkpoints have warned people about the potential for trouble as you enter. I know - I was up that way one Eid - having forgotten the 'celebrations' were on. I turned my motor round and went elsewhere for our curry night.

These days there are some no go areas where some asians make it clear others are not welcome. Brick lane has been depicted as one such case as the cctv footage clearly showed.

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.
