I've been there with one of my former shags and we both thought it were great. The Three Singhs there kept referring to us as Sahiba and Sahib respectively and we were both well impressed with that kind of bowing and fawning deference as the staff there all seem to know their place. No chips on their shoulders at all, if only other muslims were like that, eh?

The food was rubbish though and the chicken tikka wasn't even cooked properly. They eat with their hands in India as well. Or is that China? And you never know where their hands have been.

Prefer a Birds Eye boil-in-the-bag curry and rice any day of the week though.

Ok I'll take that as a no then.

Regarding the Shimla and the Shearbridge pub, I miss the one inbetween far more. The Shezan curry house was a very frequent haunt of mine when I was at Uni, as was the one just up the road that's not there any more. (The Shabina was it?)

Shezan used to do the best chicken kebabs in the world! We used to go there after Rios on a Wednesday when I was a student

Shimla do stonking chicken kebabs. I'm not sure keeping the mayonaisse they drench them in next to the kebab burners is the best idea they ever had like, but the price you pay for that is definitely worth it.

Aye! Sadly departed!

The best curry house I ever went in.

Where was the Shabina? I don't remember that one.

Just a little further up Great Horton Road from Shearbridge roundabout on the right (on the corner of a side road).

I think it's something else now, but I forget what. I'll be driving down that way in a couple of hours, so I'll swing by and have a look what it is now.

and if it's a place that seels food you c be sure he'll sample it & critique it.

Ah, I know the one. On the corner of the first right up from the roundabout? Right opposite the new private halls that have been built? At the moment the entrance is a bit of dry seclusion from the elements for the people who work in the council depot on Shearbridge Road to have their fags in. It's also where I roll my first fag of the morning walking in to work on windy days.

There used to be an indie venue underneath it as I recall, if we're thinking of the same place. I went to a few punk gigs down there in the early 90s.

atm it's nothing but an emptry building otherwise.
