Topic: Shabab, Radford Road,Nottingham

I got food from the Shabab, Radford Road, Nottingham last night
Chicken Roghan Josh, Veg Vinadaloo, Veg Madras,Veg Rhogan Josh ,3 Pillau Rice, 1 Naan,Poppadoms and chutneys.
(I have recently lost my favourite takeaway and this place was recommended)
I collected as they don't deliver, and there was some sort of a celebration going on
There was a gang of people outside chuffing away on their ciggies and I fought my way through
The restaurant was absolutely packed
All seats taken, and people shoulder to shoulder
They must have been making a fortune

I paid for the curries and brought them home
I'm told that this restaurant is run by Pakistanis, so I was expecting a different type of curry
Most of my locals have been Bangladeshi places

The aroma from the carrier bag filled the car and that's always a very good sign
The food was really excellent
A clean fresh taste with a hint of ground cummin and fenugreek leaves
The vindaloo was really hot & brilliant
The madras full of flavour
The rhogan joshes were smothered in fried garlic and tasty
I would definitely use them again
They aren't the best I've had, but they are pretty good
At the moment, I don't know anywhere that is better

good report haldi, finding a decent takeout establishment is getting harder to come by. I had a Chicken Madras from a takeaway last night and it was s**t, chilli powder overload and no flavour.
