It rivalled the time we went to the Darbaar on Great Horton Road and there was half a tin of fruit cocktail (including a glace cherry) in my curry.

Zooopoyb

Reminds me of a curry AP and I partook of in Anlaby Road, Hull (yes, I know, but hindsight is a wonderful thing). Veg curry that consisted of frozen mixed vegetables in a blandly spiced tomato soup accompanied by a naan bread smothered with a thick layer of pureed raw garlic. Strange thing was it was packed and the locals all seemed to love it.

It didn't taste any better when it headed northward to it's porcelain casket at about 3am.

Worst curry I've had since I was about 18 that was I reckon. Reminded me of some sh1thole at Woodhouse in the late 70's that used to serve warmed-up-in-the-microwave pitta breads as naans!

Almost reminiscent of the infamous Commonwealth on Manor Row in Bradford. I went there in the late 80's before I moved here. It was one of those places that never saw a customer until the clubs turned out, it was then heaving for a couple of hours & worked on the theory that punters with no food in front of them could cause a problem. So as soon as you sat down they came to take your order, you had to pay in advance, they went to get your change & came with your starter. Before you had finished that they were stood next to you with your main course; which was always a variation on the same brown water with either tinned veg thrown on, or bits of gristle. If, as i did, you ordered a 'byriani' it came with a yellow rubber mat on top, aka an egg. Before you finished they were waiting to clear your table & get you out.

If you come out of Forster Square station up the stairs, cross the road on the peilcan crossing, it's immediately in front of you on the left. It's on the same row as a seedy pole dancing type of establishment.

A mate's cousin owned the bar in the basement of the old building adjoining the station, called something like Manor Vaults. We all came over from Donny, went to the bar, then to the Commonwealth, then slept on the floor of the Vaults. Luxury.
