Thought I'd start a new thread as the rlold onerl seems to have died a bit of a death and was making the place look untidy.

Visited the Westgate this evening and was a little disappointed, the Onion Bhaji's were nice and crispy and, although my Chicken Masala contained a fair portion of meat the taste was a bit bland.

My friend has some vegetable effort (dopiaza I think) and she claimed it was a load vegetables chucked into a thick tomato soup, and looking at it I think she may have had a point!

Some people I know swear by it, others can't stand the place - I'm undecided after a couple of visits and think I'll leave it a while before I go back.

I've not had a bad curry in there, but I've only been 3 or 4 times. I imagine like most of the Manningham curry places there's a fair amount of variability. Just a question of luck really.

The Westgate is utter e.

IMHO of course.

Ok... I'm being overly harsh since I've only been once but I wasn't impressed. Too many other really good curry options in Bradford for me to bother wasting my time again at a place that was such a huge disappointment.

The best at the moment has to be the Punjab Sweet House and Grill Centre on Listerhills Lane, a sensible distance from the fighting Cock. Seems to be the real deal with lots of Asian families, Sihk and Muslim eating there. The K2 on Lumb Lane has been a favourite of me and my mates for years but I haven't been for a while.

Must try Sweet Centre near the Fighting Cock.

Because it's only a short walk?

Yes and it despite its good reports I've never been. Any decent curry house that is in easy reach of Bradford's best pub gets my vote.

Any chance of a bit of curry and a match in mid/end of September? Last decent length of time spent in Bradford before disappearing up north forever...

I've got it on a good source that the K2 next door is the better bet nowadays, I'm sceptical - I used to be a regular at the Sweet Centre after football and never came away disappointed.

Found the rlThe Bradford Curry Guiderl while looking for somewhere new to go tonight.

It's a reasonable site but it's hideously out of date for quite a few places. Some of the reviews of well known restaraunts are several years old.

Have never been to a curry house in Bradford,would love to try one, having moved up from Brum a few years ago i could recomend a few down there.

Whereabouts are you ?
