Have walked by this innocuous looking little takeaway a billion times in the past. Decided to give them a whirl and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't order anything exotic - the old classics, chicken Madras, pilau rice, onion bahji - but the chicken was tender, the sauce flavourful and the bahjis nice and crisp. If you want an old school curry takeaway in the Surbie area I recommend it highly.
Wow! a little gem of an indian takeaway hidden away in a small frontage... but definently doing big things
Blink and youll miss it... We only happend to stumble across this place whilst parked up to get milk from sainsburys
We ordered starters and mains for three. Food was plentiful and actually lasted for two days. A small portion if salad and free popadoms and dips came with the meal too
We had the mixed grill + nan, chicken jalfrezi, chicken sagg and chicken dhansak (didnt order rice - we cooked that ourselves)
The grilled mixed meat was exceptional. The guys have a proper tandoor and the meat was excellent quality. The lamb which can normally be tough was melt in the mouth. Spicing was really good with authenic levels of corrieander seed and chilli. There was little to no fat
The best dish was the jalfrezi which was the nicest i have ever had. Completely different to what im used to. The chicken was so perfectly cooked. Soft juicy moist and the veg retained flavour and colour. Its actually top end resturant quality.
The dhansak had a lovely balance of heat, sweetness and sourness. Really creamy lentil base. Fresh chillies are used to bring heat to the dishes so be warned and ask them to make it to your taste.
The sagg was really fresh and again chicken cooked to near prefection. Nice and garlicy with again balanced spicing and a decent level of warmth
Nann bread was average, it came with the mixed grill. Salad too was average.
Quality of food was actually surprising coming from such a small place - well worth a try. The guy at the desk said their chef had 25 yrs experience which i well belive
Thankfully these guys also deliver and their menu has taken pole position on our pile of indians to order from
First time ive ever bothered to do a review of a place, but its probably the best ive tried and thats saying something because i eat at far more Indian restraints than i care to admit. Really really tasty ordered a few times and it never disappoints!
