Big fans of Indian grub, my partner and I had a favourite restaurant, and, though we still love to pop in there in person, we were always disappointed by what ended up being delivered. Then as if by magic: Shallots opened up around the corner and we decided to give them a bash and we will never look back.
We are now Shallots regulars. And what's not to love? The dishes are flavoursome, the staff are friendly and often throw the odd yummy freebie and the biggest bonus... (but one that only applies to me really) is that they are a five minute walk, so orders are always delivered speedily and are piping hot.
I'm a big fan of the vegetarian section and often opt for 2 sides instead of the main. Himself mostly goes for the main curries and the only downside to this place is that they don't have a veg only option for staple favourites like rogan josh or vindaloo. Non-meat eaters are relegated to the vegetarian menu. I've never been disappointed by the starters and sundries. Their Garlic, Onion and Coriander naan is lovely and light. Also, the meal comes in a branded green bag and pretty white boxes - a very pretty site for hungry eyes. read more
