See, they are at it again! It's the multiple name game being played on Albany Road... come on down!…read moreBut at least the Tandoori Mahal Balti have integrated all of their names into a string that helps identify it for what it does, which is more than can be said for Yaus House, Chinese Kitchen, Chop Suey etc etc... In fact, they have practically created a sentence, how coherent is that? All they need do now is throw a verb at it, and Bob's your Uncle, (or, Kumar is your first cousin once removed, who you might be marrying if your parents can scrape enough dowry together to make love a reality!). Bah boom! Excuse my slight consternation... but I feel that someone should tell these businesses about the importance of clarity and unique identity... Ah dam it.. they all need a lesson or two on branding! It's becoming increasingly important to distinguish one business from another. With the advent of the internet and subsequent emergence of social media, where user content is paramount, it is easy for a business to be misrepresented beyond all recognition, and banished into the realms of obscurity, purely and simply because people will easily give up trying to make sense out of the disparate information, and will order their takeaway from the simply defined business with a coherent description of what's on offer. The irony is that multiple mentions should actually affirm the business, but if they are all saying different things and using variations on the name, it makes a nonsense of everything! That aside, Tandoori Mahal Balti is a rather fine traditional Indian Restaurant and takeaway, that is very reasonably priced. Service is great, and the staff are as friendly as you like. The Good Eating Guide have seen fit to award them with a certificate of 'Outstanding Achievement' which is displayed in the window alongside the 'Roll of Honour' certificate from Master Chef, (whatever that may mean!)

First off, for those of you that like a beer to wash down your curry, beware: this place does not…read moresell or allow alcohol on the premises. If that doesn't bother you, however, the food is really pretty good. Mirchi is a family-run independent restaurant serving traditional Indian and Pakistani cuisine, and they now do home delivery. Some of their best selling dishes include the simple but tasty Tandoori Grills, and their Karahis and Biryanis, but they also do some more traditional dishes such as Nehari, Paya, Haleem and Falouda, as well as glasses of refreshing Mango Lassi. For vegetarians, this is also a good option because there are plenty of veggie dishes to choose from. They have some price busting promotions, too - such as chana biryani for just £3.99, or their special student meal deal of a plate of boiled rice with Chicken or Chana Curry for just £3.50 (until 7pm) - they may not be the most exotic meals on the menu but they are such good value, for cash strapped students it's got to be worth a try!

Since then it…read morehas received a number of awards, along the lines of 'Welsh Curry House of the Year' etc... the evidence of which is adoring the walls inside. These awards are all a little surreal... there seem to be so many of them liberally handed out with gay abandon, but with often very little information to tell us who by... even Mohammad the owner was none the wiser when I asked him about them on a recent visit... curious! Nevertheless, Mirchi does deserve recognition. It is a large eatery that serves good food accompanied by decent service. Prices are reasonable for main meals, and they do a selection of really affordable fast food options that are well worth trying, like the Mirchi Special Roll made with Tandooried Chicken Tikka rolled in a nan bread with salad and sauce for £3.50. They also do a good range of really reasonably priced Byriani's, a favourite of mine, starting at £4.90 for the vegetarian option and ending with £8.00 for the prawn Byriani. And, best of all, they do Chai for £1.00 a cup! There's all the usual student discounts, and they have just started doing home deliveries.

This place is my go to restaurant when I fancy a ruby in Weymouth…read more The food is excellent and any particular requests are never a problem. They have Cobra on tap and Kingfisher in bottles. The meal we had on the weekend was up to their normal excellent standards. The ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant with soft lighting all round and a beautiful tropical fish tank to complete the look. The Balti House is extremely popular, especially on the weekends, so if you are thinking of going the best advice as ever is to book in advance. A call in the day is normally fine but don't be surprised if their is a lengthy wait if you turn up off the cuff.

Controversial review from Dan who claims that the Anarkali is superior to the Viceroy of India. I'm…read moresure the Viceroy would not be happy with this hastily blurted opinion. I must say I agree regarding Miah's - theirs is a gimmick Indian restaurant (in a church, innit) and the poshness of the venue does not bring it up to the level of the Anakarli or the Viceroy in terms of service and deliciousness. I think the Viceroy is slightly better because I have more amusing memories of my dad's friends asking for 'coca cola' in a really laboured way so the waiters would understand (they speak fluent English). Either way, St Helen's road spoils you for choice of Indians.

Yum…read more The Anarkali is the best Indian restaurant among the many in the St. Helen's Road area, just pipping the Viceroy to the title, and pushing many people's favourite - Miah's - into third place. The Viceroy's staff are far far friendlier, and Miah's boasts a great location (a refurbished church) but Anarkali just edges it for the quality of the food. It really is very nice. Even the Sunday buffet is good quality - much better than Miah's. It is quite amusing to read the Anarkali's menu. On the back there is a big pretentious spiel about how there is (I'm paraphrasing) no such thing as a curry, just the many dishes created by wives and mothers in Bangladesh - although that doesn't stop them from serving Chicken Tikka Massala and the like. I'm also pretty sure that a lot of Bangladeshi vegetarian wives and mothers aren't tucking into massive portions of meat on a nightly basis either. We'll let the Anarkali off though. I used to live 2 minutes walk from it. This was not good for my pot or my wallet.
