Vivek Singh's third restaurant is his most laid-back and fun, with a menu unlike most you'll find in an Indian restaurant. Dishes include an Indian pizza, a tandoori chicken and chilli Delhi sandwich and a rogan josh shepherd's pie, as well as its balls - named by Time Out as one of London's 100 best dishes - which include crab cakes, potato bondas and its brilliant Bangla Scotch egg. There are more traditional dishes as well, such as the delectable smoked saddle of Cumbrian lamb in a spiced onion sauce. "The secret to a good curry is good spices, an understanding of the sequence in which to use them, long slow cooking and lots of love," says executive chef and CEO Singh. "Use whole spices at the beginning of cooking, add ground pieces either during cooking or as a finishing spice. Usually, the more expensive the spice, the later it's added and the smaller the quantity it's used in."

It does warm my cockles when people like you attempt wit. You are blatantly a backward inbred little oik who no doubt just eats egg and chips and the closest you will go to trying something new is when bisto bring out new gravy granules or macdonalds and their new burgers. You are frankly an embarrasment to this country...your parents must be so proud of you, you obnoxious little T.I,T. attached is a link to a kids dictionary so you can work on the words over two syllables
It seems that the writer hasn't spent an awful time researching and has just gone to upmarket places to search out these restaurants...it's a shame really, because great restaurants that are deserving get missed out!

these are just a few of the larger venues some pricier than others. Not even touched on the local
ones in Eccleshill, Idle, Greengates, Shipley that have equally good reputations with their regulars. come on MSN if you cant be bothered to research it why put it out there and be open to ridicule
Hey Burtonboy the "pie" is a dum biryani. The naan is cooked on top of the dish.
I've been to Tayyabs a couple of times it's the best Indian dining experience ever.
Usually these "UK" reports have one in Scotland, one in Wales, occasionally one in Norn Irn and the rest in England but this one takes the cake. Suddenly England is the UK.
Omar Khyam in Haymarket, Edinburgh is superb, The Dahkin in Candleriggs, Glasgow do a 30" long family dosai to die for, The Manzil in Aberdeen with their haggis pakora, the Tabla in Perth with about 300 amazing Trip Advisor reviews, I could go on.
This report is akin to American's thinking that the US is the world.
LKH :My favourite great value Curry House is upstairs in W12, I can personally recommend their chicken Karahi and vegetarians have the very best of choices much more that lentils here.
Shahi Mutter Paneer
Red Kidney Bean Curry
Karela
This is an offshoot of the Lehore Kebab house but has a larger menu with 100 choices.
The buffet is £10.99 a head but for national curry week they are offering 20% !
