Best curry place hands down is in my own home, the wife's curry, self taught and made from scratch not a jar in sight, from vegetable korma to chicken tikka masala, best homemade onion bhaji's this side of the pond and even that creamy minty sauce, Tandoori Chicken went down really smooth tonight, all washed down with a cold one

You're making my mouth water and my dinner seem rather inadquate!

You just give off quite a strong air of belligerence and it doesn't smell very nice.

Yes, clearly I will have to emulate your "humour" as you like to call it and then typically finish with or because that in itself makes it hilarious

Many thanks for the link.

I tried Bukhara Grill in Bloor West Village expecting the usual bland offering but the Chicken Bhoona and Jalfrezi are the closest I've had to a Brit style Indian in Toronto (I asked for medium spicy). Really not bad at all

If any other west enders want to report back I'd be very happy to have BG survive rather than the likes of Pukka et al.

Looks good but I'd of added some finely chopped cilantro/coriander leaves to the marinade.
