Four of us dined out at Raj Durbar (formerly Tripti's) last night for the first time since the staff took it over. It was sad that there were so few diners in on a Friday night (though lots calling for takeaways) because the meal was absolutely sumptuous (esp my butter chicken and the naans, also the tarka dall, and ....)and the bill was far less than we expected. Add to that the warm and friendly yet very discreet (attentive but not hovering) service, and it all made for a truly lovely evening. We were made to feel most welcome indeed. Will certainly visit again very soon. Thank you Raj Durbar (and eid Mubarak to you).

I have always been a fan of Tripti, but, having had an average take away from there some weeks ago I thought I'd give Delhi Spice a try. Mainly because they offer a choice of main dishes that contain neither meat nor fish. I was very impressed and have now switched my allegiance to Delhi Spice.

I do still prefer to make my own, but some days cooking can be too much effort.

Can't comment on the food as I won't eat in a place where the decor reminds me of Habitat! I want flock wallpaper with elephants on and Indian music and plastic vegetation, with dim lighting and tables separated for some privacy and maybe a fish tank. Hmmm now where do I remember that from?
Have to agree with the real ale comment but many would say that a Cobra is the only drink to accompany a curry.
