The entrance as soon as you enter the restaurant upstairs is very inviting and the staff are extremely polite. After I ordered my food to take-away I was shown to a seat to wait and was given a complimentary glass of fresh orange juice. The food took aroung 5-10 minutes to prepare which I was fine with as everything is made fresh. When I recieved my meal and drove home I was very pleasantly surprised to find 4 complimentry onion bhaji. As I tucked into my curry I found that the Korma sauce was very nice and thick and creamy but not to thick or creamy to make it inedable or sickly which I have consumed in the past from other take-aways. The Bhuna was excellent, I could not fault this curry at all. In both the Korma and the Bhuna, the chicken was in very large chunks and pure white breast, This restaurant does not skimp on it's ingredients like most places. Overall, I would give this restaurant a very big thumbs up and if your looking for a place to take your loved ones for a quiet family meal, you've got to give the Sangam Balti House in Lostock Hall a visit. I can assure you that they will definatly see me again and again.

I read a review about how this is one of the best restaurants on the "curry mile". We went in at…read more2ish on a Saturday afternoon. There were plenty of tables. The waiter was extremely nice and helpful! What I ordered: I decided to do the dansak curry with vegetables. The curry was delicious; although, I kind of wished I would have tried something a bit spicier. It was a very sweet curry! If I lived here, I would be back to try some of their other Indian dishes!

As soon as I sat down I decided that I was going to try something different to my usual choice of meat samosas and lamb rogan josh. To start I had the chicken tikka pieces. The chicken was juicy and the spice balance was perfect, it even came with a little side salad to help cleanse the palate. For main I opted for Haleem, which is a dish made from a mixture of lentils cooked with ground lamb cooked in a rich sauce. It came topped with crisp onions, stem ginger and coriander. This was a bit of a let down to be honest, the texture was peculiar and reminded me of melted cheese in that it was quite clumped together and stringy. Bit off putting really. The peshwari naan was exceptionally sweet - a little too close to being a breaded dessert to be honest. It wasn't the best food I've had on curry mile and the service was pretty average.

Bay of Bengal, as the name suggests, specialises in Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine which you can…read moreenjoy in the comfort of their restaurant or, if you so wish, in the comfort of your own home as they offer a takeaway menu as well as a restaurant menu. The choice of dishes is pretty large and varied, with the menu including a useful selection of chef's recommended dishes which are especially tasty, spicy and full of flavour. The dishes themselves are nothing particularly different from a normal Indian restaurant menu, but it is all made to a fairly high quality and can be enjoyed in a restaurant which is nicely decorated and set out. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, helping you to choose a dish to suit your palate (as well as warning you off any very spicy dishes) and ensuring you to have a lovely dining experience whilst in their company. A very pleasant place to go if you fancy an Indian meal in a restaurant environment.

Whilst visiting a nearby medical establishment this place was reccomended by a couple of the staff…read morethere. They were right on the money and I'm grateful to the for pointing the place out. The interior is nothing exceptional, standard 'curry house' kind of theme but its clean and inviting. The staff received me warmly and were pleasant and polite throughout. I had chicken Madras with plain rice, Garlic Naan and Poppadoms. The food was beautiful, the Madrass was just how I like it, just hot enough and not enough to enduce dehydration! the Naan was fresh and flavourful and was a great accompanyment. With a couple of Cokes the bill came to around £15, which I think was pretty reasonable.

Booked a table for 5 people on a Thursday evening, I was surprised how busy it actually was. We sat in the waiting area whilst everyone turned up and then were shown to out pre-prepared table and served drinks. Staff were polite and were soon taking our order. I went for poppadum, a chicken tikka starter and chicken tikka biryani for main, followed by a coffee. The food was delicious, probably the best tasting food of any Indian restaurant I've been to and everyone was of the same opinion. 5 different people, 5 different dishes, 5 different opinions, 5 overall very happy customers. After the meal we were served with hot wipes and then provided with the bill. The only negative I can possibly think of is that unlike some other Indian restaurants, we weren't offered a complementary 'shot' at the end, but that's being very picky.

If you're looking for a decent curry in the Bury area then look no further - Jewel in the Crown is…read morewhere you need to go. Delicious food, excellent service, and great value for money - suitable for large groups or casual/intimate dining. You are usually greeted with numerous smiling faces as you walk into the bar / waiting area which instantly makes you feel welcome - something that is often missing in restaurants these days. Unfortunately, if you do have to wait for a table (quite likely) the seating area is tiny, so I would suggest booking in advance, especially on the weekends as it's usually jam packed! Located in the town centre, the restaurant is just a 5 minute walk from Bury Interchange, or a 2 minute taxi if it's raining (again, quite likely!), so now you know where it is get booking a table!

This is not meant to be disrespectful to the many 'Indian' restaurants in the area but the Ceylon Spice makes them all look average. The big big difference for me is that they (the owners) know how food should taste and have their own ideas. They haven't just cloned a menu because they think that is what you do! Food is perfectly spiced, proportioned and you don't get lost on the menu. My personal favourite has to be black pork with coconut rice. The restaurant has a lovely finish and the staff actually look like they want to be there. On a rare Saturday night off I visited and was charmed by the owners parents who where extremely happy that my 3 year old was enjoying authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. You just cant buy that!!!

I've always thought Kasturi sounds more like a Japanese martial art than an Indian restaurant. As…read moreit is, kasturi apparently means 'musk' in Nepali, although when I think of musky smells they're not particularly positive. Thankfully, when I think of Kasturi the restaurant my memories are a lot more positive. This well-sized restaurant on Southport's Eastbank Street is one of the few places in the area that specialises in Indian cuisine whilst offering a cosy and comfortable environment in which customers can enjoy a meal. Their menu has a wide range of dishes, incorporating everyone's tastes whether you prefer your curries spicy and hot or creamy and mild instead. Their menu also features a selection of specialities and chef's recommendations for those of you feeling adventurous or fancy going for something a bit different. They also have a website which features pictures of some of their meals, so if you're one of those people who decides what's nice by what the dish looks like, this is an especially handy feature.

Spicy Hut is simply outstanding. I've been a number of times and so have family, friends and…read morefriends of friends and I've yet to hear anything other than glowing feedback about this small but perfectly formed Indian on the curry mile. If that isn't enough to get you interested, then perhaps their list of awards will, including National Curry Chef 2004 and the Gold Award for Manchester's Environmental Business Pledge. The first thing you'll notice is the presentation and professionalism of all the staff that work here. The decor isn't anything spectacular, but when the food and service is as good as it is here, it doesn't really detract from the overall experience in my opinion. If you want to get the proper Spicy Hut experience, then you have to order one of the restaurant's Sizzlers and Sizzling Shashliks. Flambeed at your table, the taste can't be beaten. My favourite dish of late though is the Lamb Mirchi Charm, prepared with honey, hot Spices, fresh Green Chillies and peppers to give a hot and sweet taste. It's got some kick to it but the honey balances out the flavours perfectly.

The best curry houses are simply not on the curry mile. The top three ar Akbars in Castlefield, Moon in Withington and East z East near Oxford Road. This though, is one of the better curry vending establishments on this mile long stretch of curry vending establishments. Vindaloos are hot, Kormas are mild. It annoys me when a Vinda is not hot enough and when people say (i never get ne myself) that the Korma is spicy. this place has got both just right, at opposite ends of the spectrum. And better than that, the hot curries here are not just tomato sauce and chillies, but actually have great unique flavour as well. You cant ask more. Spicy Hut? Sounds like an inauthentic option because of its English name, but its the best in Indian food available on this illustrious mile.

For those that don't drive, this place is right next to Moston train station which is a 4 minute train ride from Victoria. Mumbai Spice has undergone a refurbishment since my last visit, the decor and ambience is right on point. Poppadoms are served as a pre-starter with the usual mix of onions, chutney and mint yoghurt. For a starter I had the mixed kebab which I really enjoyed. For mains I shared a chicken jalfrezi and a chicken sizzler accompanied by rice and garlic naan. The whole meal was delicious, I couldn't fault it. They do accept the tastecard for 2 people but not on Friday or Saturday and you have to book which I would recommend as it can get full. Our total bill for 2 people came to £33, not bad considering we had 2 drinks each. They do finish off by providing you with a shot of Baileys, a hot towel and an after eight mint which I thought was a nice touch. I'm looking forward to next time to try something else off the very extensive menu.
