What I'm suspect of with buffets (although less so if it's veggie) is that it's really watery and low-quality, and will have been there ages. How's this place stack up?
The Golden Mile in Leicester, for instance, is meant to be excellent.
Living nearby, it's something I've been meaning to do for ages. What I'm suspect of with buffets (although less so if it's veggie) is that it's really watery and low-quality, and will have been there ages. How's this place stack up?
its also full of damaged people like charity shops are.
Yeah, this is very much his kind of thread.
At the risk of incurring the wrath of the House Committee on Un-Dissensian Activities, there's a place on B***k Lane that deserves a mention. Can't remember what it's called but it's on the corner of one of the smaller roads leading off to the east, and is basically the curry equivalent of a greasy spoon. The tables and chairs look like they've been pinched from a down-at-heel state comprehensive, the water is served in battered metal jugs and the walls are decorated with these amazing posters of hilariously macho-camp Pakistani wrestlers. The food obviously isn't the most awesome curry you've ever eaten or anything like that but it's decent and pretty cheap. A good antidote to those upmarket places that are all tasteful dim lighting, Indo-jazz at subliminal volume and menus that overuse the word 'authentic'.
The best curries are probably outside London.
i agree with thatlahore kabab near whitechapel
Any opinions on which is the best of the Drummond Street crop? And is it the sort of place where you can't really go wrong because the competition keeps standards fairly high, or the sort of place where you have to be careful because the reputation keeps the crap ones afloat?
I've only been to Diwana, which is Quite Good, but I fancy a change.
yeeehah!
Kashmir halal on ridley road Dalston does fantastic and very cheap Samosas, bhajia and stuff
Paradise and Salims on Turnpike Lane do a splendid nosh for takeaway or sitting down
I's also recommend a couple of places down London Road, West Croydon, if i could remember their names
