The Vegetarians' Guide to Eating Out...or in this case, eating in.
You can choose to sit in, but personally, I prefer to get take away from this restaurant for a number of reasons.
Though the staff are incredibly polite and accommodating the space inside the restaurant is not used well. If you're unlucky enough to not get a seat by the window, you'll find yourself eating in the corridor, which occurs enough at family functions. I'm not paying to do that.
However, the food is fantastic. So to avoid the conundrum of corridor dining I simply choose to order and take away.
As far as Indian takeaways go, the flavours are intense without overwhelming, the grease factor is only present when a dish is fried, and that unappetizing layer of batch cooked oil has not been found in any of the dishes that I have ordered. In fact, so impressive is the reduction in oil that the one time I dined in with See Food Eat Food, she pointed out that the poppadums were not fried; taste minus oil - good for my mouth and my arteries.
My fiancé is a strong supporter of the chicken achar and chicken dansak. The tarka dhal is delicious and my definition of the right consistency. The mutter paneer is cooked with coconut; a different but scrumptious change to others that I have tasted. If you are not a fan of sweet mains, then avoid this.
The aloo zeera features regularly in my orders, as does the chapati. In fact, the only thing that I would not order again is the squash bhajee. It sounded great in theory, yet the execution of it fell somewhere between a thanksgiving pumpkin pie and curry.
I look forward to the next time that I am too lazy to cook.
Price: Approx. £27.00 for lemonade, chapati, pilau rice, 4 curries (one meat) and a tip.
