I haven't had a Punjab curry in way too long.

Ever since I finished with the last girlfriend, I just don't eat enough curry. I knew there had to be a downside somewhere, I've finally found it

Just look out for the loner with the notebook and binoculars.

I see one of the waiters (white haired guy with tash) in Shipley so I'll ask for a copy of the timetable. I know Friday lunch is usually to be avoided (although last time I was in there on a Friday it wasn't salty!!)

As I said it's a shame as it was very good apart from this one 'blemish'.

All the time, you wouldn't believe . . .

Well I've survived the crucial third bog visit of the morning, which all beer followed by curry aficionados know is the killer. Had a few very pleaseant pints of White Lion in the FC last night, partly in the company of the delectable Mrs Aardvark & her oik of a husband (thanks for the beer BTW), then on to the Punjab. As FA commented in our chat youcan usually tell a good curry house when the clientele is mainly Asian, which is usually the case here.
I had chana chat to start, whcih is a cold chick pea, potato, cucumber in a spiced yoghurt. Very nice but spoilt by being too cold, probably straight from the fridge. Nearly everyone else had masala fish, which they all oved, but made my clothes stink. I continued with the chick peas, this time in a masala. SPot on, with a strong garam masala presence. The rotis were superb. 8/10.

The special mixed starter at the Punjab is fantastic, especially the lamb chops. Bit pricey but sometimes have this instead of a main. I'm still too scared to go back to Chapple kebabs though, they are quite tingly the day after.

Few birthdays coming up...maybe worth a trip out!!

Plus Manc curries need investigating!

They really don't, not if you have been brought up on Bradford curries!

If compelled to try then Saagan's in the curry mile or Pink Garlic are not that bad.

In Manchester city centre, Chinese is the way forward, left to the Yang Sing or right to the Pacific. Mmmmmmmm.

Anyone tried the new Nawaab restaurant yet, the one which used to be lapwater hall.?? if not then i will consider it my duty to sample and report back to the masses...
