We tried it tonight and was very pleased with both the menu and the quality of the food. Very similar to the standard of Indian takeaway we used to get in the uk.

Tandoori platter, chicken tikka masala, bombay potatoes and peas, keema nan and pilau rice - 27 euros.

Very enjoyable and will definately return again.

The name is, 'Its India'.
We had a take away from there on wednesday and the food was very good. Chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, bombay aloo, plain rice, pilau rice, butter nan, poppadoms. Price was 30.00 euros. Portion sizes were good, Dave had another meal with the left overs last night.
We'll definitely use it again.

Post subject:  Re: indian
whoops!!!!!!
maybe we have been ruined in the North West uk for excelllent curry resteraunts.as we really do have some of the best in the uk......where we live...

to say the least "I India" definitely WAS NOT run by Mr & Mrs Pattel......

I do not have any idea as to who is cooking....bet tho that he is NOT Indian...as he has no concept as to what Indian spices, flavours and textures are about

talk about complete dissapointment......we where so excited to have an Indian take away on our doorstep

as we used to frequent our fabulous Indian very often

edd loves hot curry's so he ordered the chicken Vindaloo......which he was told was VERY HOT :D erm........it turned out as less than medium, spicy, runny, tomato soup with chicken bits in it

to use edd's words.......he has eaten curry all over the world...and that curry sadly was as apertizing as an Arabs Dap :shock: :shock:

I also like hot curry's, but not as hot as Edd's...so I ordered the Chicken Dhansak........which is described as Hot with a thick sauce.........I got a mildly spicy chick pea and lentil soup with chicken peices in it :manic

what a complete shame

if they had made out they where selling spicy food and NOT Indian food......they would probably have got away with it

as that most definitely is NOT Indian food

it didn't taste like Thai food iether..........it was just spicy food
well that's 2 customers lost.......till they get an Indian chef in

a very dissapointed

We are with you Maggie & Edd

We also ordered the Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Madras tonight......which we were told was VERY HOT & pretty hot
Quote......."it turned out as less than medium, spicy, runny, tomato soup with chicken bits in it"

Fully agree, the vindaloo wasn't good and the madras was like flavoured water.. neither were 'sauces' I suspect they might have been from an over diluted Ainsley Harriott East India Mulligatawny ready mix packet soup :tickedoff

Wow, what a diference a few days can make. We couldn't fault ours on wednesday. Lets hope its just a few early glitches and will be sorted out. All the restaurants seem to have them over here. We'll try it again in a few weeks.

must admit.......we definitely will NOT being going back till they get an Indian Chef in
as they have no idea ......of even the basics of Indian Sauce making
what we ate..........didn't look like, smell or taste anything like Indian food
even on an off day.....they shouldn't have been that far off the mark :shock:

Being a brummie where the Balti was "invented" never really found a proper Indian in my 5 years here, the nearest was when Gary used to do them at Nemos but he left & No idea where he is now..shame. All is what most of them do is throw some chilli power in & thats not what its all about, so I now make my own nearest I can get

We went to Nemos last night and OH said that the curry there is just as good as Gary's was! His only criticism was that the Garlic Naan was not garlicky enough but he does like a lot of garlic!

Post subject:  Re: indian
where to start :cry:
after getting soaked up at the apop game yesterday[3-0 win]we decided to give the lodge a miss and give the new indian a go
tried the two numbers for 10 mins with no luck so jumped in the jeep and headed up as its only 5 minutes up the hill,the place was mobbed and in chaos.they were pressing the delete button on both phones every time they rang so nobody could get through,i asked him thats how i could not get you to be told theres 5 in the kitchen and we are so busy.
took my order then said it will be 45 mins,i told him if he answered the phone it would have saved all the hassle as there were lots of people in the same boat in the shop
there were indian people cooking in the back
as some one that comes from the north west and have great indains the food was more than good enough but we will be waiting a while till the heat dies down
ps. hectors indain curry nights on a wednesday are the best we have had here :pow

Post subject:  Re: indian
From an earlier post -

Went to the new Kurri Kurri last night. The food was ok, not a large menu but sufficient choices for different tastes. What we did find though was that the dishes were considerably hotter than normal. My husband had a Jalfrezzi and couldn't eat it as too hot and I had buttered chicken which was considerably hotter than should be. Price wise starters are around 5 euros, mains 9.95 euros and Desserts 5.50 euros. Also you have to buy your poppadums!!!! We had 1 starter, 2 mains, 2 Desserts, 1 dish poppadums (3), 1 large Carlsburg and 1 glass of wine 48.90 euros!!! Don't think we will be rushing back!!

Post subject:  Re: indian
might try
as most Indian dishes CAN be hot
especillay Chilli hot and NOT pepper hot
it's the chilli hot that we would like to try :D
alongside that is of spices like.......Fenugreek, Cinamon, Cardamons, Cummin seads, Corriander, bay leaves, cloves, ginger and garlic to name a few of the spices used to make an excellent curry
and added as my favorite favorite .......when cooking myself........star anise.....wow.....what a personal kick does star anise add :D

Hi Mgt
this was posted on another post by mistaken
http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/
lots of good curry recipe's on there
for a good curry tho...you need good spices
so far from my limited knowledge base.I have found that Olivers have a few very good spices....there also used to be a lady on the Duck pond market who used to sell Indian Spices......not sure if she is still there....her black cardamons......and cloves......where amazingly tasty....... papa's and philipos also stock a range of spices
I have a large spice box that I keep all of my spices in :D
all the best

I love this shop. The price are good, particularly if you use a lot of spices as they do a lot of them in bigger packs (as well as small in most cases) so even cheaper. They've even started doing frozen stuff as well.

I need to go back soon.

Post subject:  Re: indian
Might sound a bit srange but the best indan curry we have had is the 'thai red curry' from City Wok. we were really looking forward to having thai curry and when it arrived and we opened it, it looked nothing like a thai curry (no way coconut milk has been near it)! It is more of an indan curry, quite spicy and very, very tasty. As I say, nothing like a thai one but if we ever fancy an indan, we now order that....go on, give it a try! better than any of the 'indian' restaurants we have tried here :lol:

Post subject:  Re: indian
for the cooks around
went to the spice shop as mentioned above
bought some fab black cardamons and other things in there
also managed to get the best Basmati rice ever........
just like the proper old fashioned stuff
much better than the shop bought basmati rice
and a good price as well
thanx for letting me know about this lovely shop
the lady in there is very helpful as well
had some amazing home cooked curry's since now having got all the spices to cook with
still think tho.....that for fenugreek and cloves.....best place is olivers
cheers
