If I'm allowed as a 'Fax fan to comment I'd like to relate my recent (tea-time today0 experience of The Karachi.
The place was my introduction to the "authentic Bradford curry experience" more years ago than i care to remember, but i hadn't been for at least 4-5 years, going by tonight's experience it will be a lot longer until my next visit.
The starters should have served as a warning. Ordered the "mixed starter" and yes it was. The Pakora/onion bargee (can never really tell the difference) was passable but much more garram to onion than i recall. the (shami?) kebab however was scorched to within an inch of it's life.
However the "quality" of the starters palled into insignificence when compared with the mains. We had a Meat bhuna plus a Meat/Channa something or other. Absolute garbage, we both agreed that the meat had a burnt taste to it and had clearly been introduced to the sauce a the last possible moment. And yes I do know that this common practice but it's usually done with a lot more skill. All in all a very poor offering, not improved by the sight of a kitchen assistant appearing to be engaged deep frying the chicken tikka between wiping his nose on his sleeve.
Just goes to prove that you can't live on your memories, or your previous reputation.
See you SL XVI

I went on Monday after the City match and had Sheesh kebabs and a Keema Karahi. It was most excellent.

I usually go to the Karachi twice a week nowadays, can't remember the last time I felt underwhelmed by anything I've ordered, although I don't think their sheekh and shami kebabs are the best.

Went a month or so back to the Karachi and had the chicken bhuna, it was really good. Think any news of it's demise was totally wrong.

I was there [url=http://viewtopic.php?p=12232134#12232134in December[/url and hated it.

I agree on this. I went to Kashmir probably around the same time (2000), and the food wasnt great. Even worse was the trip back to uni on the coach the next day - It was HELL, running in and out of the coach toilet. I feel sorry for all the other travellers on that journey!! I will never go back to the Kashmir after that.

Zouk on Leeds road is clean and has nice deserts. Anams is also clean but the food isnt the greatest tasting.

A big roup of us went to Prashad a week or so back; absolutely magnificent again & totally diiferent to most fayre on offer.

Isn't that a veggie place? (Gujerati?) Not for me thanks although a mate at work brought some of their dhokra in and it was the mutt's nuts!

i go regularly to the kashmir before games, its great. i think one of the best in bradford. you should deffo try it again sometime soon.

It is, everyone sits around on bean bags eating from banana leaves with their fingers, in between chanting & doing yoga.

Went to the three singh's on sticker lane last night and the food was on a par with akbars and safrons, plus on mondays its buy one main course get one free. Its well woth a try!

Gujerati foods ace



. Although the dokra's she does are horrid. Saying that a fair bit of what she makes now is rubbish. its slipped a bit over the years.
