Not been to the Coccina for years but I liked then.

Been to Omars with the family tonight. Quality fayre again.

Really good keema curry and a cup of Kashmiri cha to wash it down with.

A further endorsement for Omars here, very good Chicken Masala for me as per usual, and as her first experience of curry, my German friend enjoyed her Vegetable Korma, though it did embarass me to order it!

Was in Omar's last night. Had chicken massala. It was v nice but my guts were turning somersaults last night and I have an ar5e like the Japanese flag today



I blame the 5 pints though.

Took my folks a few times to Cocina when I first moved here in the early 90's. It was excellent then but seemed to go down hill for me. Haven't been in for years.
It will always go down in family history though. I ordered nachos with dips, the big one where you all dig in. The old man, being a meatn2veg type, was a bit confused, he proceeded to eat the nachos with his knife & fork, dipping them in the dips in a 2 handed chopstick stylee. He then grabbed the whole jalapeno pepper from the middle of the serving plate & ate the lot. He'd never seen one before. Laugh, I nearly paid the bill.

Omar's is recommended by Asian guys at work, they either go the Curry mile in town [ Rusholme or will travel over the hills to Bratfut and always go to Omar's....they tell me to order your food Apna style if you like it hot!! I did, and boy is it hot...great food though.

Apna style eh?

Off to Omars tomorrow. I'll try and remember that. Can someone warn Yorkshire water to get some extra staff in for Monday morning?

Apna style!

I really don't see the attraction in ridiculously hot curries, I suppose the restaurants don't mind as it's easy money from (usually) those worse for wear.

Personally I like to be able to taste something, rather than have a burning mouth.

For those who are interested in the history of curry I have just finished Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors by Lizzie Collingham www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0195172418 Incredibly well researched & interesting book. If any of the regulars on here want to borrow it let me know.

My money's on the apna re-appearing before he gets to the 22.

No, Apna-Stylee

You'd still have to give him directions. He gets lost very easily - or so I've heard.

I am returning to the UK for a week or so soon, I think I will have one chance to eat a decent curry while I am there (Trust me, there are NO decent curry houses in Florida!). What would be your suggestion for a one off curry?

Quote ="Nigey"What would be your suggestion for a one off curry?'" www.omars.co.uk/index.php But don't go on a busy Friday or Saturday night as the quality isn't as good when the place is rammed.

I agree, but are you on commission or something



Went to Kashmir after the game last night for the first time in a while, Seekh Kebabs as nice as ever, but the curry was terrible - won't be heading back there in a hurry.

Barstewards!! Did you have to link the place? I can almost smell it now.

I think I am going to start my own fantasy curry league.

Not long now though and soon I will back to the culinary oasis that Bradford is.

Thanks for the reccomendation, Omar's it is.

The rule for the Kash is dry curries are okay, but the gravy-y curries are generally sloppy n a bit crap.

From my last few visits I'd say everything is a bit crap there - or maybe it's the fact that I'm not always drunk when I make a visit nowadays?

I must say I have never understood the aura around the Kash.

I've had some really great curries in the Kash, but all my best times in there were more than ten years ago. Every relatively recent visit has been disappointing. I've wondered if you have to play the same pick the chef trick as with the International, where the best experiences are to be had on weekday afternoons, but it doesn't seem so anymore.

Had the buffet at Anams last night. Not bad, plenty of choice and you can always watch the fish if you get bored. Burnt a hole in my chair this morning though, phew!

Why is it that some curry's do that and yet others, of identical hotness don't? Perhaps its in the chilli's?
I just always feel as though I have won the lottery if after 8 pints and a vindaloo, I'm fine the next day!

Gujurati vegetarian food, all seems to be freshly made & fantastic value. We had 4 dishes between us & a mango lassi, £13.70. www.prashad.co.uk/
