Mumtaz with the kids a couple of weeks ago. Horrendous. Sneering waiter, popadoms took 25 minutes to arrive (and were brown and over cooked); less than a minute later the waiter asked if they could bring the main course. When I said no as we'd only just got the popadoms he said 'well your food will be cold then'. A few minutes later we got the drinks we'd ordered 30 minutes earlier, and 10 minutes after we'd finished the popadoms we got the main dishes, which were pretty average. Still, at least the kids got a balloon for the £39 it cost for me and 2 kids eh?

Hadn't been to Omars in quite a while as the food had gone downhill but went with A-fire-inside a couple of weeks back and it was excellent. Went again with the family on Friday and it wasnt. The food itself was ok - I'd asked for my chicken & keema to be hot and it was very mild but still nice; the missus had a rogan josh which she thought was very bland and we'd ordered a Jaipuri Punjabi special for the eldest asking for it to be very mild but it was by far the spiciest. Worst bit was the service though, we waited ages for our food with two groups who ordered after us having finished their starters and main courses before we even got ours despite asking a couple of times. We only got the kids drinks after asking again - after the starters had come.

Reckon we'll give the LL Sweet Centre a go next time.

Went to the Prashad again last night, it was absolutely excellent. Started with three "roadside snacks" as they're dubbed on the menu. A puhri, some strange round things and some sort of shredded samosa. Sounds odd I know but they were all delicious.

For mains we had three curries, a chick pea one, a channa daal and something with aubergines. One of us also had the curry thing in a type of Pancake that Gare Girl had tyhe other week. All were excellent. I really recommend this place as it's totally different being as it is Gujerati and South Indian cuisine instead of the usual Pakistani influences.

4 people having starters, mains, 8 chappatis, one naan and a bowl of rice and one mango lassi came to £35. Bargain. It's open every day apart from Monday.

All made for a really nice meal

Roadkill curry? MMMmmmm!

It'd have to be squased vegetables as it's a veggie restaurant!

that's what they told you! Are you sure it was aubergine in that curry?

If it was meat it was a very odd animal!

All kinds of animals go missing on Horton Grange Road. I imagine most of them just get stuck in the wheel arches of trucks bombing down Horton Grange Road.

Goats?

Possibly soon, I got a suitable quote for the bike insurance this lunchtime so I'm road legal again. icon_smile.gif

And from today you can take advantage of our super duper cycle to work tax free scheme.

Does that include cycles with motors attached?

I think technically an electric assisted bike would qualify. You would look like a prat though. www.atob.org.uk/Electric_Buyers'_Guide.html

Well give me another cat curry cos i love it

I was going to post this before going to Odsal, but thought I might be tempting fate...

I went to the Punjab last night, Chapple Kebabs were consumed, and today I have nothing irregular whatsoever to report.

It's a proud day.

Makes for a funny epıtaph

If I suddenly stop posting on here, someone please call an ambulance!

Totally forgot about this because of all the tripe I've had to wade through on here these past couple of days.

I went to the Saffron on Leeds Road at Monday tea-time, not my usual sort of place but my upwardly mobile friends with company credit cards to stick everything on seem to be above getting a curry from the Karachi for a fiver so I had to go along with it.

The place was fairly busy but the service was good, not too rushed and not too slow - I had a shami kebab and a meat samosa to start with, both of which were nice and spicier that I was expecting in a place like that. Other people had a variety of Onion Bhajis and vegetable samosa's and all seemed happy with their choices.

Never one to be original I had a chicken madras for my main, again I was happy to find a that they hadn't skimped on the chillis, so I was pretty satisfied with the meal - even more so with the fact I never got to see the bill!

I wouldn't hurry back myself but if you're into the big whitey style places then I'd say this is the best of the ones I've been to in Bradford.

Chapple kebabs!

Must say the plan to have a pint of full fat milk to lessen the after effect worked wonders. Thanks to Teech for the tip.

That's cheating

My parents took on a goat (called Alf) from the RSPCA a few years ago. It was being kept inside a domestic building (illegal) in the Bradford area and fattened for human consumption.

would that be after the party or before?
