I've tried many places in and around Stoke-on-Trent for an Indian takeaway, and having read various reviews about this place, decided to give it a try.
The Karahi Master has now moved to the top of my list! The taste is so home-cooked and nothing like so many thrown-together Indian takeaways I've tried and never returned to. Although the place looks more like a pizza takeaway from the outside, and a small cafe inside, don't let that put you off.
The cooking has an authentic taste, with individual spices shining through....none of the tons of chili powder experienced elsewhere, in an attempt to cover up poor flavour.
We tried three dishes: Chicken Jalfrezi - apna style (authentic), Lamb Bhindi Gosht, and Chicken Khurma. Every one had totally individual flavours. I can honestly say I've not tasted a Jalfrezi like it before! So rich. Everyone else enjoyed their meals thoroughly too. Gorgeous was all everyone had to say.
The rice was perfectly cooked and tasty too. Tried the Roti as well....perfect.
All curries can be cooked mild, medium, or hot.
Give it a try and I'm confident you'll be back without a second thought. I can't wait to work my way through the rest of their Indian menu. read more
