Re: Curry - in Canada?
Surrey, BC has some of the best Curry houses in Canada. Kamloops on the other hand (where I live) has some of the worst places.
Like others have said, it all depends on where you live. |

I have no notion of what English take-away curries are like but they must be outstanding from what I read here and on the fishing forums. ...
I'm not knocking it. English Indian food is very tasty. There are plenty of Indian Restaurants in the Lower Mainland but the population here is mostly Punjabi and the food is not infused with several decades of Englishness. It tastes a little different. Sometimes very good, but a little different. |
Re: Curry - in Canada?
Green Lettuce at Vic and Kingsway and the 2nd location in Surrey has Desi style - Chinese food prepared for Indian tastes, and I love it. I've never gotten it from the one in Surrey but the Kingsway place is a must-do whenever I'm in Van.

"Proper" Indian food originated with the Bengali population of East London. It has developed in its own way and now even has dishes that would not be recognizable to someone fresh off the boat from Mumbai.

In another life, when there was always a "bottle of moose" in the fridge, I made a moose curry. I didn't make another.

I used to live in Hanwell too and feel like I have eaten in every restaurant on both sides of the Uxbridge Road, especially for the two years I worked in Uxbridge and commuted by bus. Despite enjoying the delights of Southall my favourite restaurant was a Nepalese place just by Boston Manor station. Can't remember its name though. |

I am not disputing your knowledge. I know you know what you are talking about when it comes to food. I was just trying to put caretaker's observations in context.

I never went to the Nepalese place though I have heard of it. My last visit back we ate in Sudbury Hill, very nice food. |
Re: Curry - in Canada?
never mind curries, i wish i could find somewhere that does a proper Donner Kebab, none of this Donair Kebob carry on!
i want the crap bits of the Lamb they wouldn't give to the dogs, not the crap bits of the cow! :D |
Re: Curry - in Canada?
I very much doubt there are any Indian type restaurants in Canada owned/operated by anyone not from Indian sub continent. Why don't you take your beefs about the quality, number of outlets and how to spell kabob/kebob, donner/donair up with that ethnic group. That might stop the whinging to people who have little or no interest in Indian type food.

Re: Curry - in Canada?
Thanks everyone for the replies,
must get a recipe book for road kill, will make the pennies or cents go further! Had rabbit curry once, it was quite nice.... Was thinking more of a small cottage size industry supplying ready made curry meals but thats me dreaming again;) I have to get back to reality and do more research for proper jobs I might be able to find once over. Thanks Vicky |
