I got a takeaway from Holy Cow a few weeks ago and I have to say I was impressed. The place is small but the staff were friendly and efficient. We didn't wait long at all for the food.
The food was really delicious. We had the king prawn jafrani which was cooked really nice with so much flavour in one dish and the chicken Raani which was so creamy. Even though we thought the food it was a bit pricey, we enjoyed it a lot so we didn't care. Really recommend this place.
Takes me back home (to India, that is). Everything is good but the biriyani is to die for. I'd happily pay double for everything on the menu, and the delivery is always quick.
Like choosing a broadband provider, or a new phone, the decision over which Indian takeaway you'll order from tonight always involves compromise. Either the meat will be represented by three measly bite-lets of dry chicken or the sauce will reap an unpleasant revenge the next morning. The poppadoms will be soft, or the naan bread of a foamy consistency.
Holy Cow has never represented a compromise of these sorts. Large portions (exceptionally so, in the case of the starters) which do not skimp on the meat. Huge chunks of meat, or butterflied prawns of dizzying proportions in perfectly conceived sauces. These sauces vary in spice levels, from 'Spice, what spice?' to 'Jesus, my tongue!', but are all delicious and inexplicably lacking in curry hangover effects. The starters, too, are ridiculous. Never order the calamari if you don't plan to share.
