The best ones do.

The curry house on Manchester road above Friar tucks is open from 11am on match days and has put a poster up welcoming Bradford Bulls fans. I wonder if they know we have such a famous curry guide on this forum and could drive some discounts

That said I'm more of a curry on a friday man than a sunday lunchtime

Its really nice especially the more obscure dishes on the menu plus you also get 10% discount if you show your membership card. Bloke is very welcoming and is willing to talk you through some of the more unusual dishes.

I'm very picky when it comes to curry, so here's what I think (this is all my opinion and not that of rlfans)

I gave the one on Manchester road a go and the quality of chicken was very poor.. I ordered a vindaloo and it was like a corma.
3 Sings, good quality chicken, nice and spicy. The sauce reminded me of the one on great horten road next to the Indian working men's club, which by the way is better if you eat in.
Spicy Cottage, a fave of mine.. Good quality chicken . You must eat in though as they take extra time over your food.
Future Bolti, chicken not that good, I got chillies chicken, nice deep flavours.

Mumtaz, QUALITY.. you get what you pay for!

And the chicken?

Last time I was in there I curried bone with slivers of meat attached. To be fair though, Microsoft paid for it.

Never really liked the Mumtaz, never made to feel very welcome and no beer. I think that the best no beer "asian style" food is served at the Punjab where the staff are very welcoming.

Although its obviously down to personal taste I think that the Spicey cottage is the curry equivilant to a greasy spoon cafe and i found the quality of the meat to be average at best.

I spoke to the bloke at Awahd about the vindaloo because I was a bit worried it would be too hot for me and he explained that the vindaloo curries served in most curry shops were an invention for the brits in which they just add a shed load of chilli powder so that the punters can proove how tough they are. Apparently the vin in vindaloo refers to the viniger it is marinated in previously to being cooked. I enjoyed it and found it spicey but not offensive.

Your right about the vinegar, but it’s not a Brit invention. It was introduced to India by the Portuguese settlers when they brought chillies over with them. Until then Indian cooking used pepper for heat.

I nearly always get a Keema Vindaloo from Karachi on Neal St. Its pretty good. Who's had the meatball curry from there?

I meant the vindaloos sold in most curry shops were a brit invention as they bear no resemblance to the genuine article. But im crap at expressing myself.
