Johanes de Silentio Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Kushi's in West Nicholson Street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Kebab Mahal is very decent but it's difficult to get a seat at the best of times. Kushi's is ok, nothing special. There's also Mother India Cafe just down from Chambers Street which again, is ok, but not a patch on the Glasgow branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Mother India blows everything in Edinburgh out the water (Infirmary Street) Ate there on Sunday night, best Indian grub I've had in a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Mother India blows everything in Edinburgh out the water (Infirmary Street) Ate there on Sunday night, best Indian grub I've had in a long time Yep, another vote for Mother India. I liked the tapas idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Striker Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm a bit late with this as just saw the thread but if anyone is looking for an Indian in the "Clerk Street" area I recommend Kismot on St Leonards Street (a hop skip and a jump from the Queens Hall) http://www.kismot.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Mancini Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 mother india is the dogs bollox, agree with boris that the tapas idea is great as the portions are just the right size to let you try a few things without being too bloated, also cant believe no-one gave the kahlpna a shout, granted its veggie food but some of the nicest indian food i've had. kushi's is trading on a reputation of once being a great resturant that served lovely food at a fair price, where as now the younger generation of that family run it, it seems to be the parallel opposite, ie ****e and overpriced.

Le Chat Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Its been a couple of years since I've been but the King's Balti in Buccluech Street was pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmiyaRomanova Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Its been a couple of years since I've been but the King's Balti in Buccluech Street was pretty damn good. As a home delivery, it's variable - had a superb meal from there one week, only to receive pretty tasteless gloop (yes, tasteless) when we ordered again the following week. Steer clear of it now, as there's better - and more consistent - in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberjambo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 NATAL CURRY CONTEST If you can read this whole story without laughing then there's no Hope for you. I was crying by the end. Note: Please take time to read this slowly. For those of you who have lived in Natal, you know how typical this is. They actually have a Curry Cook-off about June/July. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the Royal Show in PMB. Judge #3 was an inexperienced food critic named Frank, who was visiting From America. Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a Curry Cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Beer Garden when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Natal Indians) that the curry wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted". Here are the scorecard notes from the event: CURRY # 1 - SEELAN'S MANIAC MONSTER TOMATO CURRY... Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2 -- Nice smooth tomato flavour. Very mild. Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy ****, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These people are crazy. CHILI #2 - PHOENIX BBQ CHICKEN CURRY... Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of chicken. Slight chili tang. Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who Wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver! They had to rush in more beer When they saw the look on my face. CURRY # 3 - SHAMILA'S FAMOUS "BURN DOWN THE GARAGE" CURRY... Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse curry. Great kick. Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of chili peppers. Judge # 3 -- Call 911. I've located a uraniums pill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drain Cleaner. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting ****ed from all the beer. CHILI # 4 - BABOO'S BLACK MAGIC BEAN CURRY... Judge # 1 -- Black bean curry with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a curry. Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Shareen, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 200kg woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? CHILI # 5 LALL'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER... Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong curry. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 -- Average beef curry, could use more tomato. Must admit the chili peppers make a strong statement. Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Shareen saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really ****es me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw them. CHILI # 6 - VERISHNEE'S VEGETARIAN VARIETY... Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety curry. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I am definitely going to **** myself if I fart and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Shareen. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone ice-cream. CHILI # 7 - SELINA'S "MOTHER-IN-LAW'S-TONGUE" CURRY... Judge # 1 -- A mediocre curry with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. (I should take note at this stage that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably). Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with curry which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least, during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing- it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. CHILI # 8 - NAIDOO'S TOENAIL CURLING CURRY... Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending. This is a nice blend curry. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced curry. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the curry pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor man, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot curry? Judge # 3 - No Report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
