The **Now Eating** Thread

Last of the Turkey, @ 75 quid a pop I wasn't throwing any away!

...I may have overdone it on the meat this year, I'm still getting through all the turkey. Got almost a whole turkey crown left to eat.
Had a couple of turkey & coleslaw rolls for lunch, wish a side of stuffing and cheese:

I've also got a tub of flying saucers as a present to get through... I only eat 3-4 of them a day, so they're going to last me a while.

Price increases aren’t too bad if it’s a treat every now and then but when it consists of 50% of one’s diet it certainly adds up.

My biggest issue is the reduction in quantity of Curry yet the prices have increased, give me a decent portion and I’d not mind too much.

@SimonRigga

I’m with you, that level of price increase is a kick in the teeth! What are they thinking… they will only be worse off that’s for sure since you won’t be the only one.

Boycott them! Get yourself down to the cheaper local :D

@Gilbert89 - plenty of choice in Birmingham for curry!

Shababs Balti always a favourite, but plenty of choice on Ladypool Road!

Purnima in Bearwood is our best local. Had a superb Christmas Eve meal there this week. I can personally vouch for their pathia!

Hen and Chickens is one of the original and best Desi Pubs. Definitely worth checking out.

Asha’s is more upmarket and is great food to go with it (many others all mouth and no trousers in this segment IMO).

Zindiya in Moseley, Rajdoot and Lasan in the Jewellery Quarter and the Indian Brewery in Snow Hill all get honourable mentions.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had regardless of cuisine is Opheem. It’s probably the most expensive meal I’ve ever had, but it was just on another level. Aktar Islam is extremely talented and made a point of serving a dish to every table and seemed pleased to spend time with customers and took pleasure in explaining the dish. It was great to speak with him as his knowledge and research on the food became evident.

I’m sure I’ve barely scratched the surface!

Thank you, this evening I’ll look those up online and if I’m ever in Birmingham will try it pencil one in. :D

Sometimes in Walsall and have been known to go Birmingham for a night out :)

I've not been back since.. so I guess they have lost my custom

Been out many a night in Walsall.. and there was one decent curry house on the way out of town that was open 24hrs.. was popular with taxi drivers etc.. not been there for years though so no idea if it's still there, i'll see if i can find it..

and can also attest.. some very good curry houses on Ladypool road.. can't go wrong really!!
