    Look at the menu, Jalfrezy or Jalfrezi? 😂 The food looked great, That starter platter alone would have stuffed me Darren! I can't believe you ate all that! I would have to be winched out by a crane after eating that lot! Good effort! 🤣BTW jalfrezi is my favourite Indian dish with a Dhansak, Biriyani or Bhuna a close 2nd! 👌It's great to find an Indian restaurant like this that you can go out out to (LoL) again and again and get a decent curry rather than trying out new places and getting a naff curry for your hard earned 👍

    Tried it,nothing special whatsoever. Ordered the jalfrezi,which was very bland,I didn't receive the same amount of chicken either. Rice was fine,although the mushrooms seemed very dry. Overall I was not impressed.

    You also forgot to say about the 12% service charge they also add on.

So I am hoping your going to get out of the smoke into the real Thailand and taste the food. I love Indian food and tomorrow i am cooking our family a chicken byriani. Great channel you have. I was originally from London.

    Nice elegant looking restaurant, tables could have been spaced out a bit more. I'm old enough to remember "Barney Rubble" 😂For me, the samosa didn't have the crunch 😢The rest were a fine spread. I'm not sure how you ate your meal with such a wide smile on your face 😊When you met the chef, the double take, made me blink😉The chef was a very well spoken man who new his craft. And was rightly proud of himself. A true creative artist. Darren, your honesty is a becon. Telling us of the extra things you were given. Brilliant. Allan&Family

    Google Streetview. A banner showing, "20% off during their Grand Opening in July 2022". Known as Thai City in Dec 2021. Not a lotta people know people that. Michael Caine.
    And no vegetarian main dishes. Lots of sides though, including Onioned-BARNEY!
    What camera(s) do you use? You said you used a 360' when it was empty. A 360' when walking too? I'm looking to buy a 360' camera and your works. And something steady you use to film you eating? You seem to adjust the pan/tilt and zoom with ease whilst talking. Fascinating to follow you.

    @sanjsharma8184 5 месяцев назад +1

    Most Indian themed restaurants rarely get seekh kebabs right and we had that here too as it was way too thick. Thin and slender is the way to go as it cooks differently. You get more of that charred taste going right through the meat if it's pressed onto the skewer thinly. You also get a better balance of flavour and mouthfeel. It's these details that make all the difference. Good review as always DJ 👍🏽

  • @Simon-50gtf
    @Simon-50gtf 5 месяцев назад +1

    So DJ what was the cost of the dishes that you didnt get free ? 😂 Lol methinks it was all free as a pre arranged promotion ? No problem for that as thats how it rolls and with that of course comes a completely great review ....which again it could well have been that good.
    But i guess to know for sure you can only judge by visting the place oneself.. ..looked good as in generic british formed ( bengali food ). But its nowhere near actual Indian / regional / bengali or other .
    But thats just picking holes...i will give the place a go when im back for a visit in the Uk in June.
    Nice one.

    My God, that really looked a treat, Darren. That lamb , you could see just how tender it was when you held it up closer to the camera.
    Fresh spices and fresh ingredients meticulously prepared but all done with an added unique take. Whats not to like?
    That whole selection just looked so good. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
    I will take that. This meal was clearly off the charts Darren. A lovely find.
    You have great personal video editing skills, Darren. I thought your personal selection of Asian music was pleasantly soothing and congenial
    All in all, another very good video.
    Thank you,.
