Default Indian Tonight

What are you all having for dinner tonight?

I'm going out to my local Indian.

I usually order the same thing as its my favourite - Lamb Madras

But, what other recommendations do any of you have to offer

I don't like the mild stuff, and Madras is as hot as I go
I also like a reasonable amount of sauce

**** - I'm getting hungry already

Ahh, let me see. The finest Indian cooking courtesy of the Lidl frozen food section!

Your choice of chicken Balti, Jalfrezi, Tikka Masala or Korma all with fragrant saffron rice. 1.49 could not be better spent! Go on spoil yourself and throw in one of their garlic & coriander naan breads.

A veritable oriental feast for about 2 quid per person!

Or you could just go out and buy some authentic stuff!

When I was a lad half the street used to exit their homes at 5pm on a Friday night, walk to the chippy and get in the queue with the other half of the street

Tonight, well I will be working - and as its Friday I suspect it will be a Kebab..

I've just had Chinese. Worryingly, I can't really remember what I have so I went in the shop and ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken, the lady said 'are you sure, you normally have pork?'. I think I'm a bit too predictable!

Sounds like takeaway price - for more than four times the price you need to be sure

Do you really think the chicken in a restaurant is more 'premium' ie not pumped up/infused with pork/else ?


Of course you get to sit down somewhre other than your house / screaming brats , but authentic indian cusine , i doubt it

Splendid as usual, I feel like a stuffed pig now....not to eat of course.

£25 per head, yet the bill was £65 that works out at £5 each for 3 soft drinks....

Well worth a visit if you have never been.

Our waitress was striking too, an extremely pretty chinese girl with short blonde hair, in fact I would go as far to say absolutely gorgeous.

I like all of it, or I wouldnt bother.

You can swap and change the meals to your liking, its not set in stone.

The food is the best Ive had, Im no expert, but I know what I like.

A simple question -

Why are all supermarket Indian and Chinese meals absolute crap?

What is so difficult? I've never understood it.

Well, Indian Lounge, York.

Veg Samosa, King Prawn Shaslick, Baingan Aloo (aubergine and potato), Tarka Dhal and Peas Pilau. Oh, and a garlic and coriander nan.

Other half had a mushroom starter.

One diet coke and two large glasses of wine.

£42 and very tasty and light food.

No
But it tastes so much better than supermarket crap "meat" from asia
Plus at least I know the meat is local stuff, because a customer of mine delivers it to my local
I've witnessed how the chickens are killed etc

The lamb - we'll I haven't seen exactly how thats killed


Anyway, my lamb madras with pilau rice and plain nan was absolutely lovely as usual
