The Guru Balti House

The Guru Balti House

My pre-salsa meal took me to Woking today. The Guru is in a little parade of shops in Old Woking…read more There is street parking available nearby. The interior is quite modern with a lot of wood and lots of light - they've certainly decided against the traditional, cliched Indian curry house look. The menu had familiar dishes and eschewed the trend of some places to introduce new specials. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have my favoured mango lassi. However, sometimes, old favourites are old favourites for a reason. Our popaddoms came with some nice condiments and the starter of onion bhaji was light and crisp. The lamb makhani was in a sauce sweetend with coconut. This was balanced with our other choice of chicken tikka dupiaza, which was more savoury. The flavours were distinct and recognisable.Worth a return visit if we come to salsa in the area again.

So. GOOD. When we moved into the area recently, while the kitchen was being unpacked, we found…read moreourselves indulging in ordering from The Guru more often than we'd like to admit. They aren't cheap, and so are now relegated to special occasions or the ends of especially long weeks, but if you're looking for an exceptional curry, this one will not disappoint. The flavours seemed complex and delicate, not the generic sweet curry, hot curry, etc you can sometimes get. They have what looks to be a very nice dining room, but lack of babysitters have kept us from eating in. And, as I've said with other reviews, they don't have a delivery service (thank goodness!), yet are still who we always pick, which says a lot!

Asiana Restaurant - Chicken Shashlik

Asiana is a relatively new restaurant to the St Johns area and we tried its take out service the…read moreother weekend. There is also a rstaurant but I've not tried it. Ordering was very simple and there was no issue with undrstanding. The take out was delivered free of charge (orders over £12) and arrived promptly. Unfortunately, on arrival, it appeared that one of the dishes had been made with the wrong meat. This wasn't particularly an issue for us although it could be for some. It was also late and we were hungry so we were typically English and didn't complain. Once tasted though, there was absolutely nothing to complain about. The food was incredibly good. The chicken balti was, perhaps a little rich if one were being picky and the sauce was certainly darker and wetter than one would expect. It was, however, very good. A chicken niramish was out of this world - almost a fusion of Indian and oriental food. It was perhaps, one of the most unusual dishes I've seen on an English Indian menu. Rice was good and naan wonderfully light and fluffy. Price wise this is in line with Surrey take outs - expect to pa around £20 for 2. It's perhaps not as good as Balaka in Horsell but it's a good second choice.

Good food, quiet modern décor and reasonably attentive service. We've eaten here half a dozen times…read moreand not had a bad meal yet. Good range of dishes, well prepared and presented. A bit on the pricey side considering its location. Service is good, but could be more on the ball.
