I confess to enjoying a thoroughly whitey curry last night down here in Hampshire, in Romsey Purbani. The Kingfisher and cutlery were of exceptional quality.

We went to Mr Khans for our work Chrimbo lunch today. Bugger only knows why, given previous experiences, but here's the list of faults from today:

1) They took our booking a month ago. A chance visit from a colleague on Sunday night revealed they hadn't yet progressed to the stage of writing the booking down anywhere.

2) The starters of a few people on my table arrived about 20 minutes later than everybody elses.

3) Two cheese tikkas were sent back because there wasn't any cheese in them and one was frozen in the middle.

3) The main course I had (Lamb Rogan Josh) arrived ten minutes after others on my table had finished eating. A few people on our other table had similar poblems. This wouln't have been so much of a problem if it had been hot rather than merely edibly warm when it arrived, which would at least have indicated it had just been cooked rather than sitting around waiting for someone to bring it to me. Quite bland too, imnpho.

4) They took my food away before I'd finished eating. Seriously. If I'd let the waiter bring it back after pointing out what an ignorant to55er he was I'd have waged curry warfare against every non-wipeable surface in the room, namely the walls and ceiling.

That's Mr Khan's on Morley Street at the end of Claremont. Leeds will be contenders in consecutive years before I give those fuckwits real money again. I advise you to do the same.

The only satisfaction was explaining to a posh looking Asian man in a suit outside why I'll never darken his doors again. I hope they were actually his doors and he wasn't just some random posh looking Asian man in a suit. He never got a word in so I didn't actually confirm that detail.

Hopped in a taxi straight to the Karachi last night upon arrival back in Bradford, it wasn't the best I've ever had, but after six weeks without it was more than acceptable!

No, I think I'm right in saying that Mister Khan's is on Morley Street, just above the International but on the opposite side of the road whereas Omar Khan's is on the road opposite the skating rink.

Nah, that's on Great Horton Road at the back of the Queens Hall. I'm not that keen on that one either tbh. It' good, but I wouldn't rave about it. Mister Khan's is on the same street as the International and the Kashmir, just further up the road towards student land.

Went to the Punjab Sweet Centre last night, following the report on here. Never been in for some reason, despite its proximity to where I work. Absolutely top notch. Didn't have a starter but the saag gosht was superb.

I'm not clear chris, are you reccomending this place or not?


The consecutive years reference has not gone unnoticed.

Dogs Bollox that place IMO.

You ought to try the Chapple Kebab.
