bruno22rf Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Nearly Β£10 for a Korma? Did you not check the prices before ordering - we ate out at one of the highest rated Indian places in MK last night, 4 x drinks + 4x Curries and assorted side dishes (Rice, Chips,Naan and Bajhis) came to under Β£100.

decoy1979 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 It's just down the road from me, we used to go there reasonably regularly. We found that the prices started creeping up and food quality & customer service dropped off so don't use it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I still have fond memories of eating 25p curries in Bradford when I was a student 50 years ago. No cutlery, just a bowl of curry, two chapattis and a glass of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellors Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 We were over there a few weeks ago couldn't believe the prices in cromer tried to charge Β£5 for a jug of water and 12% service.Β On top of that most places only open 5.30 to 8pm they reckon its not worth opening later.

Best Gunsmith I've found in recent times. Adjusted my gun for free and talked me out of buying a new one as my current gun was more than adequate once adjusted.

No, it was further up Gt Horton Rd, beyond the university, in one of the back-to-backs off to the left. Probably now demolished. Certainly when our daughter went there in the 2000s, we couldnβt find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
