The article should say English Curry Awards.
The British Curry Awards don't take place until the end of November.

I keep meaning to try this Davyham but its well out my way. A lad I used to work with delivers for them and he rated it highly. I'll talk the missus to a trip up. :)

Gav it is just a take away not a sittydoona.
-
Yeah I know that. I've passed it many times (including tonight ??? )
-
It's a 30 mile round trip for me. Might drive down Saturday.

Haha, it'll nearly be that for me. I've driven a lot further though. ;D

The Jaipur T/A West Road Newcastle upon Tyne
This place must have lost it?s award winning chef. It wouldn?t last a week in somewhere like brick lane.
On a score of 0-10. I?m afraid I would have to score it 0.
I?m so disappointed, This is the 1st time I?ve ever posted a food review, but I feel so disappointed.
I was looking forward to trying this take away after reading about it here.
I buy my spices in West Road and thought it sounded good, But what a disappointment.
I ordered a Chicken Karai, Pillau Rice and a Plain Naan.
I like to keep things simple on a 1st visit to a new restaurant.
All of these items I have eaten many many times in lots of different restaurants and T/A?s over the last 40 years. Often in London and Bradford.
This was by far the worst I?ve had.
Some of the chicken was hard, almost unable to cut, and certainly inedible.
The sauce was a bland tomato sauce without the slightest hint of garlic. If I had made this sauce I would not have been able to feed my mates with it, It would be binned.
My 1st impression of the Naan bread was, I thought they had mistakenly given me a Chapati.
It was heavy and flat, it appeared that it may have been under proved and under cooked, absolutely shameful.
The rice was just about ok, but way below my own standard.
This place must have lost it?s award winning chef. It wouldn?t last a week in brick lane.
On a score of 0-10 Im afraid I would have to score it 0.
The staff were very attentive and polite, almost to the point of making me feel uncomfortable while waiting.

You like Brick Lane then?
-
Brick Lane ........ hmmmmm. Saw a video on t'internet not too long ago of a poor geeky looking white guy walking past Indian restaurants there minding his own business when he was basically set on by asians - some seemed to be waiters coming out of the restaurants to join the melee. He was thumped, kicked when on the ground and as he staggered away, one maniac. Waiter smashed him over the head with a large metal advert sign. How he wasn't seriously damaged / killed is beyond me. Pure evil racism at it's worst. You wouldn't catch me anywhere near that area.

It must have changed beyond all recognition from the 60's, then. In those days you could rely on Brick Lane for authentic Indian cuisine as eaten by the locals -- no pulao rice, only steamed white, and a huge complimentary dish of onions and fresh chillies. I sincerely hope that what you observed was a one-off; or was a case of misinterpretation -- it sounds so out of character to me.

These days there are some no go areas where some asians make it clear others are not welcome. Brick lane has been depicted as one such case as the cctv footage clearly showed.

I cannot help but feel that officially naming a region of London "Spitalfields and Banglatown (http://content.met.police.uk/Team/TowerHamlets/Spitalfieldsandbanglatown)" is not in anyone's best interests ...

The whole episode is beyond belief - enough to put anyone off venturing anywhere near the place in search of a curry.
Rusholme in Manchester at Eid is also a dangerous place - and police checkpoints have warned people about the potential for trouble as you enter. I know - I was up that way one Eid - having forgotten the 'celebrations' were on. I turned my motor round and went elsewhere for our curry night.

The name Spitalfields appears in the form Spittellond in 1399; as The spitel Fyeld on the "Woodcut" map of London of c.1561; and as Spyttlefeildes, also in 1561.[2] The land belonged to St Mary Spital, a priory or hospital erected on the east side of the Bishopsgate thoroughfare in 1197, and the name is thought to derive from this.

Er, T63, it was not the "Spitalfields" element to which I was alluding ...

Banglatown was just a marketing tool that used the point that most of the inhabitants were from Bangladesh as opposed to being from India.
No wicki on Banglatown, which tells you something.
