The Cambridge Curry Community

I decided to go for a wonder down Brick Lane a while back and pick a place at random. I was in one of those moods where I was tired of doing home work and research. I was in the area and thought I would just stumble in to a random curry house and see what I could find. Naturally, this is where the blaggers of Brick Lane come in to play and try and drag you in to their restaurant, but hey, I was game, its all part of the dance. So many different people representing the Indian houses of Brick Lane trying to convince me to come in and eat at their establishment. It was all a bit demanding and manic but part of the Brick Lane experience.  Everyone was claiming to be the best, everyone was claiming to be the cheapest, everyone was claiming to have won awards. I felt like the bell of the ball!  I ended up being convinced by a young man who gave me an irresistible deal at a place called "Chillies", which claims to have won chef of the year. The place was somewhe...

After a brief weekend away with my girlfriend we had a hankering for something to eat the moment we got off the plane. Naturally the first thing I hanker for when travelling abroad is a good curry. Europe has never been able to do a good curry in my experience, so on the drive back from the airport we decided we were a little too tired to cook so we put an order through at Royal Spice.  Royal Spice is one of my favourite Indian take away's in Cambridge. In the past it has always been punctual, good value, and had the best (and most generous) food portions. So I was well looking forward to getting stuck in after a long day travelling as we were both dead tired. What better thing to come home too? Royal Spice, Victoria Avenue -  01223 304455 We managed to get home about half an hour after ordering it in the car, we had timed it just right...or so we thought!  Usually this would leave the average Indian restaurant about 15 minutes to get to your house in...

After my god awful experience with Royal Spice the other week, I decided to continue my take away review saga and see what the Kismet had to offer. Like Royal Spice, this place has a sterling reputation with people in Cambridge, especially in the Romsey Town area. One could argue that it is a bit of a hidden gem in Cambridge. Its an easy place to miss and a hard place to find. Its dead in the centre of Romsey Towns residential area of many many identical streets and one way systems. Though in my opinion, its a place well worth looking for...or better yet, just order through Just Eat and get it delivered! As we all may or may not know, Just Eat couldn't be easier to order from. Everything is listed and you just tick what you want. They had a decent selection of cuisine on the menu and a selection of English dishes. Being located dead in the centre of Mill Road they are excellently located, so deliveries shouldn't take too long. Luckily for me I was ordering from my ...
