Im going to have a sit in soon. I tried the takeaway and it was okish at best.

perhaps hes not as familiar with food as he should be was my point

I am genuinely curious as to what is in it for you when you promote these places, if not the odd free pakora thrown in

I've eaten in a couple of times and thought it was good even though he did bring out the Pataks base sauce and said this is what he uses! It was the best british style curry I have had in Dubai but when I was back in the UK a couple of weeks later my local curry house was far superior.

We did get a take away about 2 weeks ago and the chicken tikka masala was not good at all.

I like Curry Box.

It's curry. It's tasty enough....and it's delivered in a box.

Cool or what?

It does the job.

that's a shocker. I'm not shocked by the use of the sauce, more how they managed make the korma on BC's website look like vomit when it came from a jar.

it takes a special talent akin to “I only know food, it’s all I can do”

Bit of a cheap shot really but that's the kind of petty mean spirited guy I am

Me too actually, is it just to keep busy or is there some other reason.

What do the restaurants think they are getting out of it?

In fairness to BlueCat I've read some of her stuff and been tempted to try some off the back of what she's written.

Weasel; you're just jealous that your book doesn't get you free cuzza!

Blue Cat

there is nothing in it for me, I like the guy who owns the place, we pop in their once a week or so, we enjoy the food.

commander

Does he give you a portion of his special sauce?

Blue Cat

the packaging is great as is the food at Curry Box, have you tried Bunny's Tandoori it's in JLT

It exorcised some demons and that was enough for me. The free curry is a benefit I will have to forgo at the moment.

Mind you I am sure there is some space left for another Dubai food blog, there aren't too many of them

Hmmm a blog...

Judging by the picture, it was drizzled on her korma.
