But the only Bradford curry house where they actually make it, you testify isn't worth going to.
Weird.

| Went into Zouks on leeds Road this lunch time.
Haddock Tandoori was small and thin and overcooked. Not marinaded but spices pasted on before cooking and those not as subtle as is needed on fish.
Chicken Biryani cooked with whole spices. generally my preference but way over the top. No flavours coming through except the massive spices and the dry chicken.
Would prefer to be complimentary in some way but find it hard to do so.
Apart from the disappointing meal the cost was high and the waiter unwelcoming.
In general a pretentious place without substance.

| I've defended the place in the past, but I can honestly say I haven't had a worse curry than the one I had in the Kashmir last night.
The starters were fine as usual, for mains I ordered a chicken madras, and my friend a bhuna - in his own words he hadn't had a curry for "about three years", they aren't big in the wilderness of rural Shropshire, but as soon as it arrived in front of him his first comment was "that doesn't look right".
The chicken was a weird grey-ish colour, and my best description of it would be to say the meat was soggy, it tasted disgusting and I had no more than three mouthfuls, he had about a similar amount of his.
I wanted to refuse to pay, but him being a soft Southern jessie he paid the bill anyway, I certainly won't be going back there unless I hear very good things in the future.

| Living in Salisbury is awful for currys up until last weekend I decided to go into a restaraunt called the Asia its the 5th oldest curry house in the UK (apparently). They had a baby chair for my youngest they even gave him a bananna and me and the wife ordered a chicken bhuna each and all I have to say about the place was fantastic for a bunch of southerners. It was even better than most in bradford. so wether any of you decide to come on holiday or be in the Army and be posted down here like myself then you should definatley consider going there.

| Just discussing the Kashmir with a mate from work; he informed me he got a takeaway from there after work on Friday & spent the weekend on the bog in some discomfort.

| My last visit to the Kashmir some 8 years ago was enough to ensure I never went again.

Nothing. As I said, what's weird is, you claiming that the curry house which is the spiritual home of this dish isn't worth going to.
If you had been there and tried the dish, and said they make it rubbish, then it might be less weird but of course you feel able to tell people the place is not worth going to even though you (plainly) are in no position to judge.
Or if you think you are, then I'll take Rick Stein's opinion as a better independent assessment than yours.
HTH
PS You still haven't commented on how you managed to do your curry marathon, or indeed why, if 99% of the curry houses were not worth going to. Are you a masochist?

I had the Rick Stein special about a year ago - it was excellent. I really like the style of curries in Bradford generally as round here they all seem to taste the same - spicy meaty soup.

| If I'm allowed as a 'Fax fan to comment I'd like to relate my recent (tea-time today0 experience of The Karachi.
The place was my introduction to the "authentic Bradford curry experience" more years ago than i care to remember, but i hadn't been for at least 4-5 years, going by tonight's experience it will be a lot longer until my next visit.
The starters should have served as a warning. Ordered the "mixed starter" and yes it was. The Pakora/onion bargee (can never really tell the difference) was passable but much more garram to onion than i recall. the (shami?) kebab however was scorched to within an inch of it's life.
However the "quality" of the starters palled into insignificence when compared with the mains. We had a Meat bhuna plus a Meat/Channa something or other. Absolute garbage, we both agreed that the meat had a burnt taste to it and had clearly been introduced to the sauce a the last possible moment. And yes I do know that this common practice but it's usually done with a lot more skill. All in all a very poor offering, not improved by the sight of a kitchen assistant appearing to be engaged deep frying the chicken tikka between wiping his nose on his sleeve.
Just goes to prove that you can't live on your memories, or your previous reputation.
See you SL XVI

| I went on Monday after the City match and had Sheesh kebabs and a Keema Karahi. It was most excellent.

| I usually go to the Karachi twice a week nowadays, can't remember the last time I felt underwhelmed by anything I've ordered, although I don't think their sheekh and shami kebabs are the best.

| Went a month or so back to the Karachi and had the chicken bhuna, it was really good. Think any news of it's demise was totally wrong.

I agree on this. I went to Kashmir probably around the same time (2000), and the food wasnt great. Even worse was the trip back to uni on the coach the next day - It was HELL, running in and out of the coach toilet. I feel sorry for all the other travellers on that journey!! I will never go back to the Kashmir after that.
Zouk on Leeds road is clean and has nice deserts. Anams is also clean but the food isnt the greatest tasting.

It is, everyone sits around on bean bags eating from banana leaves with their fingers, in between chanting & doing yoga.

Gujerati foods ace . Although the dokra's she does are horrid. Saying that a fair bit of what she makes now is rubbish. its slipped a bit over the years.
