I went to a talk on Indian Curry once and the Lady told us that in India the curries do not have a name but ingredients and that is how they make their curries according to what taste they want. When they started to set up restraunts in the UK they realised that us Kingdomites would not know or remember the ingredients they wanted so they gave them names as we would find it easier. That is why the different types would be slightly different in different restraunts and also why the spelling is different. Most people go after the pub session so probably can't tell the difference of the same meal in one place to another.

My favourite is still the Shahbaaz, on Rose Street.
Been going there for 25 years  and it's been consistently good.
Nasma is good too (bottom of Bridge Street, upstairs)

Ah yes, been to both in the past, good to hear they are still keeping up standards.
Cheers.

Catching up with this thread is making me hungry....grrrrrrr.

Made a prawn curry for the mother-in-law yesterday, as payment for her babysitting while the girlfriend is away on business.  So tempting to eat it, and sod the mother-in-law

It's interesting to read all these comments about curries. As a British Indian, who's family are originally from Mumbai (Gujarat) via East Africa. You should note that Indian food varies around all the Regions of India. As has been mentioned before approximately 70% of 'Indian' restaurants in the UK are not Indian owned but, rather are Bangladeshi (East Pakistan) The style of cooking is much different to Indian cooking.

So how does one tell? It's not easy for someone who isn't Asian but, generally if you see Balti on the menue it's not Indian. Even then there are lots of variations amongst Indian restaurants. For example, in areas like Leicester or North London which has a high percentage of East African Asians (ex-Uganda / Kenya) they have developed the Indian cuisine to include some influences from this Region with distinctive flavours and style of cooking a good example would be Chicken in a Machoosi sauce. If you get the chance, just google it for some restaurants offering this style of cooking (eg; Spicy Haandi and Marten Inn) the later in Leicester was recently featured in a Jamie Oliver programme.

In my opinion, some of the best restaurants are those that offer excellent freshly made curries all with different flavours and distinct tastes. These don't have to spend huge amounts of money on contemporary decor. The later tend to have more style over substance! A little bit like the AV world, some of the best equipment doesn't have to be the most stylish, it just delivers !

All that, has made me hungry, must go and have a curry fix!
