I notice you live in Cleveland. Have you tried this curry house?
The Spice Avenue Balti Restaurant - British Indian Cuisine

Haven't seen anything like it over here. It would be a round trip of $120 in the taxi from where I am so a very dear curry indeed! Still I might treat myself one day.

Yes mate been there more times than i can remember along with several other past and present members from this site . Comes highly recommended indeed
I wouldn't go about wasting money for taxi though as it's easily accessible by train via Central Station on the Cleveland line.Just get off at Birkdale (45 mins from Central and it's only about 300 yds from station across main road in same shopping complex as Woolworths. Trains run every half hour usually both ways then hourly after a certain time There's also an Irish bar (which you probably wont like ) and an English fish and chip shop a couple of doors away if you're still hungry Owners originally from Midlands and are lovely people

Well worth a visit or ten, but as Bobby says don't waste cash on a taxi, the pubic transport links are good

Well I have to get the train into central then change onto the cleveland line. Considering it closes at 8 I'll have to leave home around 4 to ensure ample time. Dear Lord back home I wouldn't even begin to start looking for a curry house till 10.

Unfortuantely we aren't back home so you have to take the best there is. Same as me wanting decent fish n chips or a keeebab after a night in the pub. Its what you learn afterr a few years in a penal colony!!

Make a trip of it at the weekend/day off and have a few beers in the Irish bar there.

Hhhhmmmm. Sounds like that penal colony is restricted to Brisbane. No issue getting a good kebab or even a curry late doors down here in Sydney.

Fish and chips after a night out...... you can have that

Decent fish ANYWHERE seems to be a major problem. Then again I guess I shouldn't complain, Australia being landlocked and all between all those other countries with no sea access... can't blame anyone I guess.

A proper pub is also a rare find, especially in the Sutherland shire as I recall where there were... none. Just the odd typical bar that looked like the sort of place you'd have a beer before you heard the words "Last call for flight FO321" before bolting towards the gate at some regional airport...

This seems to be a cultural thing though, which is strange considering the country's origins - the whole "pub culture" thing just isn't the same.
