Must have been that bogey of yours that gave me chronic indigestion last night. But then again, it could have been the rotis... I suspect it is the rotis. Three different main courses I've had there recently and chronic indigestion after all three visits.

Its fair to say I've had a fair bit of wind but no gut pain or other ill effects at all.

Get yourself a korma next time.

Well now the diets over it was time to try an old restaurant,one i havnt been to in years..so after a skinfull in Gotham City otherwise known as Cleckheaton we risked life and limb and went to ..
The Royal Kashmir...horncastle street.

Starters..
2xOnion baji....deep fried, good portion, tasty, nice yogurt sauce...7/10.
Shami kebab...swimmin in grease, deep fried,but very tasty....7/10.
Mixed kebab....selection of kebabs, samosa, baji, nice but greasy..7/10.
Main..
Lamb dopiaza...good portion no fat or gristle, very tasty...7/10.
Chicken massala...lots of chicken sauce abit tasteless....6/10.
Chicken Vindaloo....Hot..plenty of it, but not much taste...6/10.
Keema madras....very nice, plenty, very tasty....7/10.
Drinks..
1 can cider..
1 can lager..

Summary...
This restaurant has been here for at least 25 years, it has a bar but only sells cans out of a fridge.The food has always been very good but is on the whole very greasy otherwise we would have scored it higher.
Defo worth a visit but it is no way a venue for a "do"..formica tables and grease running down the walls make it a "slop house" for after a skinfull.
Also time your visit before 11pm, has a reputation for being a battleground when the chavs leave the pubs....
All this for a total cost of....£28......bargin..

Went to Omar Khans last week straight after a LONG drive back from Edinburgh.

From what I remember...

Shami Kebab starter was very different to what I'm used to. Came in a batter and was kind of held together by that. Different but still quite nice, although I think I prefer the way that other places I've been do it.

Can't remember the name of the thing I had for main. It was chicken and began with a H, but it's something I'd not seen on other menus, so it wasn't a familiar name. Hirali or something was it? Dunno. Very very nice though, and the accompanying naan was also top notch.



I'm debating tonight. Can't decide whether to go to the Kashmir or the Nawaab. Neither I've tried before and fancy trying another one. (Well, I've tried the Kashmir, but I was off my face at the time, so can't remember if it was any good or not). That's all unless the girlfriend decides she doesn't want to try one of those, in which case we'll end up at the Punjab.

I take back what I said about the Punjab chapple kebabs not causing toiletry problems in the morning. I must have just got lucky the last time.

A second and slightly better report on the Agraah buffet at Shipley.

Went just as they opened on Tuesday evening with the family and it was hobson's choice of where to go.

To start off we had some popadoms and pickles. The popadoms were very good - not oily - so rank an 8/10. The pickles varied as before from nice mixed pickle and mango chutney (and I'm not usually a fan of that) to an off tasting yoghurt/mint sauce and the downright weird curry house offerings of green olives, black olives, coleslaw and a big bowl of tomato ketchup. Pickles overall rate 3/10.

Next up were the starters. These were alot better than last time. There were fish kebabs and lamb chops which we didnt try as well as some nice chicken seekh kebabs and some really nice vegetable pakora and spinach/paneer samosas. From what we had these rate at 8/10 and really did benefit from being fresh as the last time we went they'd been stood around for hours.

Also had some salads with the starters. These were a bit like the pickles - a quite nice kachoomber salad and very nice raita but also an out of place bowl of pickled beetroot and a three bean salad. Although we were there early the salads looked like they'd been made a while with things like the bowl of cucumber and the beetroot drying out. 5/10.

There were quite alot of main dishes to choose fromFootnote
The eldest woke in the small hours in order to throw up a couple of times. No sign of a cold or bug and fine before and after. Can only think it was something she ate. Whether that was at Agraah or not - no idea.

As the manningham,s are thankfully joining the white flight and moving out to Iikley we took the old folks round our new gaff then on to Bettys' for a mothers, Day treat.The folks had aftrenoon tea for 2 (£24) which was some nice sarnies on one of those stands with the crusts cut off, then scones on the next lair, then 3 little cake things, and their were 2 of those stands. Miss Manningham had aftenoon tea for 1(£14), our lass had scones but they call them sconns(£8(, I wanted egg and chips which they don,t do,, but they did this thing called a rotsi which is like millions of tiny chips fried up with a egg on top whichwas what i asked for but came with some green stuff as well which was like dark cabbage but softer (£9). The best bit was they all came with English breakfast tea but the tea bags had all berst so you were drinking mouthsfulls of tea leaves (but it was 4 oclock,not breakfast time tea). They do give you these nice baby sized sivvs but don,t tell you the bags are lible to berst. It was all servd by nice youne English girls in uniforms and it was full of white Eng;lish people. It cost me nearly 2 weeks giro,s but it was worth it to eat some propper English grub with propper English people. Me and our lass can,t wait to move.

That sounds ruddy luverly does that Bernard.

Word of warning though mate. You expect a company like heinz to play the white man with the sort of food it makes but the pc brigade has struck again and our lass came back from the co-op with one of these yesterdayhttp://www.heinz.cz/_img/pasta-spaghetti-bolognese-big.jpg" >

Now, you know me, no prejudices and take things as I find them but if Ray sees a spade he calls him a spade and she cooked it last night when we got in from a skinful at the True Briton in Leeds, and it was flamin' disgusting. The house stinks of that garlic now and it was so spicy my mouth was like fire. I've had the s[ihi[/its all morning.

Steer well clear mate and leave it to the greasy cowardly football cheating wops.

M8 I woudn,t eat French food if it woz the last food on earth.

Anyone fancy some kind of combination of curry and beer before, after, or even during the Leeds game next week?

Sounds like a plan and a half.

I'm full of good ideas me.

Popped into Omars when I got back last night, my Chicken Rogan Josh wasn't the best I've ever had but it hit the spot after five weeks without!

Went to the Prashad last week on All Saints Rd & corner of Woodhall Rd. I highly recommend it as it's a bit different to your regular curry house being totally veggie and specialising in Gujerati grub.

The place is quite small but very clean and the walls are covered with press cuttings featuring their award winning head chef. The waiter managed to squeeze our group in easily enough and was attentive to Gare Girl's need for cutlery.

For starters we just went for the popadoms and pickles which were ok without being anything to write home about. The popadoms were done freshly and folded into quarters and were tastier than average but the pickles were a bit disappointing with an bog standard lime pickle, mango chutney and chopped onion thing.

When it came to ordering mains we all went for something different so we could all have a bit of each other's. Mrs Bullseye went for a Thali which looked good value for £7.45 and was the most expensive thing on the menu. I went for the Chana Daal, Gare Girl went for something wrapped in a huge pancake type thing that came with a spicy sauce, Father Bullseye went for something with paneer and Bullseye's youngest sis went for vegetable Handi.

My Daal was excellent, it was a really distinct taste without being overpowering, the lentils were cooked to perfection. I ordered 3 chapatis but could have easily managed 4 or 5 as they were very thin.

The Handi looked a bit oily but was still quite good. The pancake thingy was alright too but Gare Girl could probably give a better description. Both the Thali and the Paneer dishes were good too without being over spiced or too oily. All in all it was a pleasant change from the usual sorts of curry to be had in Bradford. The place is a bit further out from the main curry areas around the Karachi/Omars/Kashmir but worth a visit for a a change. It's not licensed IIRC and is shut on Mondays.

I'd definitely go back.

For shame

Had a five-tripper the day after a Punjab Sweet Centre (Listerhills Lane, not Lumb Lane). But it might have been the Carlsberg. We'll never be sure.
