I agree. Twas my first curry in Braford before I moved here (my second was the infamously terrible Commonwealth on Manor Row). It's had a special place in my belly ever since, much better than those pseudo basic ones.

Warning to Bradford Bulls Curry buffs : If you make it to the GF (and I hope you do) why not visit the Curry Mile, Rusholme? You are guaranteed to have the worstcurry ever. Well on the basis of three visits and the three worst curries of my life I speak with some experience.

Is Horton Grange Road the equivalent to Rusholme, Manchesters' Curry Mile?

Nah.

The road with most curry houses on it is probably Great Horton Rd. But there are others in nearby streets like Morley St, Neal St, Little Horton Lane, Legrams Lane and Horton Grange Rd. Basically BD7 is the main curry area I reckon.

Leeds Road has a load, but I very rarely venture up there.

What, an area of a high concentration of restaurants with hardly any serving passable food?

Very true.

I've been for a cutlery special at both Pakeeza and Akbars many years ago but there are loads further in towards the city.

I'd have to agree with that summary about Rusholme.

I've been in at least half a dozen of the curry houses on that stretch of Oxford Rd and none of them have been much to write home about, and a few have been utter e... Shere Khan's being the worst.

Bradford by plenty.

Had a takeaway from Prashad last night.

Superb.

Tonights arrangements:

Meet in Red Lion just before 5 then on to Karachi/Omars reet after the game?

Sounds good to me.

Could be up for that.
