Thanks all, I look forward to it.

Solomona ate it

If you're going high budget then really I think Omar Khans (as I said above, end of Wilton Street, on Little Horton Lane, with back entrance from the Wilton Street Car Park) is a fine choice as it is a bit posher than your average and the food is more interesting and richer.

Otherwise deffo International but its nowhere near as 'posh'.

here's the curry thread. Just waiting to re-appear like many a saturday night Kash

Depending on what you order though you might get it in a novelty pot/bucket. That's posh, and you can make a curry castle with it.

Really?

Really. Turn it upside down, tap it on the top and the sides and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Get a toothpick from the counter on your way in and make a chapatti flag for it.

I forget what I ordered to get one of those now. Something like a chef's special karahi, but I forget the actual name.

Yeah you can make a curry castle, I've done similar, although I can't remember what I ordered either. Pretty much any balti comes in a mini bucket and depending on the texture of the curry, you can make your castle.

As far as Omar Khan's go, I would agree it's nice, but I still think the International tops it for food. But yeah, it depends if you're wanting the place itself to look nicer and have all fancy napkins and stuff.

True, but the first catch is that I would be wasting valuable eating time in turning the receptacle over. I know I now have a leap second to play with, but still it is a problem.

The second is that I can guarantee - for any meal - that something will fall on my shirt. So I think such dextrous manoeuvres might be a bridge too far for me.

May have to ask to ensure I get one!

Not really bothered about the decor as long as the food's good. There will be two couple and no kids going to the panto after the meal...

Oh yes there is...

Inevitable for me too I'm afraid.
