Where in the world did you eat the best curry you've ever tasted?

It was located near the Ice Rink opposite the mortuary,.

Convenient!

Leicester, in several different places serving Gujarati vegetarian fare. We tried several on Belgrave Road over the years, as well as one on Narborough Road.

Other best - Bombay street food, which was rather similar to the Gujarati stuff so no wonder I liked it, though something I ate or drank there did my insides no good at all.

We do have a good crop around here. The downside is you don't get many other types of restaurants, the Chinese are not up to much, noyhing Thai or Japanese to talk about. Virtually nothing Caribbean or African, a bit of a monoculture foodwise.

True enough, but as monocultures go, not a bad one to have on your doorstep. We missed it when we moved away.

This is my current Coventry favourite - my old one changed hands and then lasted barely a year.

Don't know that particular place, but I've had some of the weirdest curries ever in Coventry, all the fragrant spices but without even a hint of chili. Maybe they only served this rubbish when a big all-white workplace party came in. My colleagues loved it.

I thought the most interesting Indian food in Cov was around the Foleshill Road, including some good takeaway stuff.

Mumbai in Khar west. Great price and food.

Pataks jars seems to have a new and improved line out, tastes good especially the saag.

Bilas in Teddington does the best curries ive tasted.

I'm surprise that no-one has mentioned Vesta curries.

The only curry I have ever had.

All this talk of curries got my juices going, so despite being in unknown territory when it comes to curries (Indian restaurant in Lake Buena Vista, Florida) I had to go for it...

I can now report that the India Palace will not be getting a repeat visit. Lamb Kadahi consisted of an onion and pepper stew with a few bits of lamb thrown in. I asked for medium strength but it was mild (that's always subjective of course). $8 for the bottle of Kingfisher to wash it down with!

The Jamaican curried goat with rice 'n' peas I had for lunch 2 days ago in a no frills place in Kissimmee was much, much better; and a third of the price. I'll be going back there before Tuesday .

Bengal Pride, Hull - followed a close second by Ray's Place. The rest I don't remember as they are usually at the end of the night when pretty much anything spicy and edible looks like curry to a ...

It was a bog standard curry place in Clayton le Moors, now called the Baltistan. I was entertaining some quite religious Syrian visitors and when I offered them lunch, they declined but I knew they were hungry so I said: "If I can get halal, would you go?" Of course they replied "Yes". So we rang around all the local restaurants and after a lot of calls found this one who said they could do a halal meal. We turned up at about 3 pm and I told the chef just to cook us anything he wanted. We waited an hour but when the food came it was astonishing; absolutely delicious, like nothing I'd ever tasted before. When I asked the chef why, he replied: "Because I couldn't use the sauces; I had to cook everything fresh from the start, which is why it took so long and why it tastes so good!"

That was my education on industrial curry sauces that come from a sauce factory in big white plastic buckets.

Did you mean the Plaza?

The suicide curry was a once in a lifetime experience for me.

The local curry house does a good Chicken Shashlick. I don't go there now though as when I looked them up on the FSA site and they only get 1 star. The place looks really clean front of house!

Another home cooked Thailand one.
I was out on a dive boat for a days reef bothering off Koh Tao. At lunchtime the captain brought out various plastic boxes, curries, rice, salads. All stuff his wife prepares every day for his customers. The chicken curry was sublime, hot but fresh and so well rounded, it was not like anything I've come across in a restaurant either.

Restaurant food is never like home food

Palace or Plaza? (Run by different brothers after a falling out circa 1975)
