Hi everyone. Some of you may be wondering why I didn't score this restaurant. It was mostly because I was so focused on the Phaal challenge for this review however I would definitely recommend giving Mughal Dynasty a go. if you wish to skip to the Phaal Challenge, it is at the 9 minute mark. This video has been heavily requested for a while now so I thought it was only right to finally brave it out. Hope you all enjoy the video!
Came up randomly on my feed and started watching and 2 minutes in was just taken by how considerate and decent a bloke Gary is. Worried about other customers, anxious about the challenge. No big headed boasts or swagger just a guy who obviously has a passion for his subject, an attention to detail to his video and is a really interesting guy with an engaging personality. I for one learned a lot from this and won’t be going near a Phaal with the Madras long established as my limit. If however I am in Maidstone will certainly visit the Mughal Dynasty. Great stuff.
Water is the worst thing to drink when eating an extremely hot curry, it makes it hotter on your tongue. Yoghurt or milk is what you need… Keep up the great work Gary…
It was the tapping of the feet under the table and the whimpering that had me giggling. I am like that with a Madras. You should never eat food that fights back. This restaurant about a mile from my house and I have driven past it often. Thanks for the review. Will have to visit.
Whenever I'm feeling a bit down, I pop back here to rewatch the phal, the bit where Gary whimpers and his lil feet drum on the floor cheers me up every time...cheers, Gary
Can't deny Gary, when you took the first mouthful and after a few seconds I could hear your feet making a running sound under the table, that cracked me up! 😂😂😂
New subscriber here after watching only 5 mins of this video. Randomly came up on the Algorithm. Glad i did... No clickbait thumbnal and a nice polite chap. Ill be going through your videos this weekend 👍👍
This has to be the “RUclips” new channel of the year. Consistent and brilliant reviews Gary,and with today’s contribution,taking the entertainment factor onto a new level. 56.7k subscribers and rising quickly…thoroughly deserved. Keep up the good work!
Yes, I agree with you and by the way I love Indian cuisine always ordering a side of vindaloo sauce but will never ever order a phall after just one mouthful of a friends 35 years ago.
@@GaryEats I read your comment before I got to that bit, but now it makes perfect sense! It's so relatable though. We have all had one of those hot curry moments.
Loved your honesty with this one ! Like the way you respected the restaurant with the previous dishes, which you obviously loved. Another great video Gary 😀
@@GaryEats You are not an idiot at all - just inexperienced. Those exceptionally hot dishes are for the punters - The indigenous curry eaters rarely if ever eat it that hot - if they want their curry a bit hotter they will chew a raw red or green chilli pepper with their meal.🌶
Total myth nothing calms heat from capsaicin, all milk and yogurt does is temporarily block the heat receptors in the tongue, you just gotta let it ride. Its not that bad anyway, I have a phal often, I have super hot peppers with most meals too and grow my own. Remember its not actually burning, it's just a chemical reaction telling your brain it is
Citric acid is actually the best thing to drink it breaks up the capiscum heat so orange juice, lemonade even will cool it better but nothing will make this cooler unless you are a serious spice maniac (I have done this once before when I used to eat more superhot and f me it's absolutely insane)
Years ago a mate of mine asked for an extra hot Phaal. The chef even came out to try and persuade him not to. I dipped my small finger in the sauce to taste it. It was like someone had shoved a knitting needle through my tongue. There is no pleasure in a curry that hot.
I stopped having them because most phaals were all heat and no flavour, so yep there was no enjoyment. If you're lucky you can find one with a nice flavour and then maybe it is worth it. It's so rare to find one that tastes good though that in the end I just gave up trying.
Thanks for giving us all a good laugh, Gary. I was concerned for a couple of seconds when I saw you start shaking, but then the giggles took over 😂. You never let anyone down, though, as I wouldn't have got past the first mouthful. Well done!
Tip from a life-long curry and spicy food addict: Don't ever talk when you're eating spicy food. All that random air going in and out over a mouthful of spicy curry. Eek!! When you're talking and eating, your normal 'taste, chew, swallow' routine gets banjaxed. Seriously - that's when the coughing etc starts! And a lassi (yoghurt) drink -or even milk at a push - is so much better than water for calming it all down a bit. For some palates, water will in fact make it worse. Much worse.
Hi Gary, 1st time viewer and as a bit of a chilli head myself I actually think you did really well to eat as much as you did. Spicy food is all about tolerance, the more you eat the higher your tolerance becomes so the key is to start at a level you can manage and then over time increase the spiciness. Some of the spiciest dishes when you are able to handle them are actually really very tasty! My point is is don't avoid them just because at this moment they are way too spicy for you, build up to them, honestly you won't regret it! Kudos fella!
You don’t only get a tolerance, you get a dependency for spice. I think that your body becomes used to the effects of the spice, so you start to get the heart rate and metabolism boost in anticipation of eating. When you don’t actually get the spice hit, your meal isn’t as satisfying as it otherwise would be.
@@King-Kazma my body has never adapted, especially my digestive system, though I continue to eat extremely spicy things. Once you realise you're not going to die, you become addicted to the rush.
The wife and I came across this video on our feed a couple of months ago - you earned both our respect and subscription that evening, Gary! Loving all the new videos, keep up the great work mate!
My favourite ever food review! Great (if unwise) to try the Phaal, but a gazillion kudos to you for doing it. More importantly though, a stunningly professional review of the rest of the meal. You're a star!
What an absolute top bloke! So polite and courteous. Most RUclipsrs would not have taken the time to review the restaurants other dishes first or had the thought to seat themselves away from the public etc. Brilliant video! Thankyou!
Im watching this again Gary 2nd time around is even better than the 1st time😂😂 im actually howling at your suffering as your face goes redder and redder with each bite I do apologise. One of the funniest reviews ive ever seen on youtube..
Phaal, you nutcase! My old mate Gus, who was a flight navigator during the war in Afghanistan, reckoned as well, no problem. His already big head grew even larger and redder. THEN we saw the disclaimer, (which he had signed). 'This meal could lead to excessive blood pressure and/or heart failure!'
Bless ya Gaz, you shouldnt feel like you need to eat such a hot curry when youre not comfortable doing so. I love watching your videos mate, i loved the one where you tried the east end pie shops, and also the one where you went for fish and chips at hestons plaice, (see what i did there?) youre a very humble likeable chap mate. Keep doing what youre doing, and i will keep watching. (also, im a chef of 25 years) and its refreshing to see a normal down to earth fella like yourself reviewing food, and not some pompous, pretentious person. Take care Gary, much respect. (from a fan of yours.)
Wow from a chef that is really a great compliment, I really appreciate that. Back to normal reviews from now on this was like a furnace in my mouth 🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵
@Turbomgzt 😅😅😅 any kind if hot food. I remember eating a naga raw for a challenge. Long story. Pretty easy. Blam 😅😅😅 Well, that cobra lasted about 20 seconds 😅😅😅
You didn't let us down mate, you did very well. I am pretty sure I couldn't manage a Phaal these days. I say these days because back in the 90's I worked for an Indian taxi company here in the UK driving a 16 seater minibus on a Friday and Saturday nights. At the end of the shift at about 5am, the other drivers would all get meals from the local Indian take away. Now and again, the boss would order a super hot one for me as a joke because I told them I liked 'Asian Style' curries. Regardless of how hot it was I would eat it and try my hardest not to cringe. Back in the good old days. Tell you what though Gary, if you think that Phaal was hot now, wait till tomorrow morning when you sit on that pot. I bet that was equally as fun...........
I had this, decades ago. The staff told me not to have it, but I played the 'big man', and went ahead. The following morning, was so painful and sore, when it came out red. Never again. Who knows what it does to one's inside.
09:50 As someone that llikes things hot I can say quite confidently... NO WATER! Ask for milk, water only makes it worse by activating more capciasen...
What I love about you Gary is that softly spoken, honest approach ….. and I really mean honest approach. I really want to try (or avoid) places you go to, especially as you relatively local to me. Other RUclipsrs doing the same should take note, after 5 minutes of them talking about their car, girlfriend or whatever can be entertaining (though often tiresome) the real deal, is going to a recommended restaurant, trying suggested/different dishes and making a judged appraisal. Well done sir.
Oh Gary, I rewatched this after watching the video with Greeno having the hot curry. Honestly I was absolutely cracking up again watching this, I had tears running down my cheeks ! Bloody good on you though for doing these and I don’t blame you for not doing anymore ! Thanks Gary! 😊
A long time ago was with a few friends and we all decided to order a phall. The waiter looked puzzled and said, "Phall is only for drunks and madmen, which one are you"!!!
@@alanholgate3442 I agree....if it gets too much, drink mint raita with it. I usually use Warsteiner though. I actually enjoy the ring sting the next day....central heating for the botty!!!! 🤣🤣
New to the channel and I have to say I was in tears with laughter. The food looked so nice but that Phaal looked evil. Bet you put the loo paper in the fridge before you used it. Cool the ring of fire when needed. Great review, very, very funny. Can't believe you managed to eat so much of the Phaal. Got to say that Laziz looked amazing as well. Need to try that. Keep up the great work.
Hello and thank you for subscribing, watching and commenting it’s very much appreciated, unbelievably I was ok in the morning which I couldn’t believe, hopefully see you on the next one tonight
Great review as always Gary and the food looked fab however in regards to the phall It’s beyond me why anyone would want to do this to themselves ? Please don’t feel that you let us down, you’ve probably saved 1000’s from doing it to themselves.
Hi thanks for following 🎉but could you send me you bank details and I'll arrange a subscription so you can carry on enjoying and helping the channel grow 😊
A glass of water actually could make the feeling of the Phaal spice _worse_ , not better. People recommend a cold glass of milk or orange juice instead.
The Scoville scale for hotness of chilis is based on how much you can dilute something in water while still detecting it. By analogy you could start with the tiniest amount of sauce mixed in with all of the rice, and try a bit: if it's too hot, don't add any more; if it's not too hot, add a bit more sauce and mix again. This would be like dipping the toe in the water whereas taking a big mouthful is more like just jumping straight in without being sure you're able to swim!
OMG Gary, this was the funniest review video of yours that I've seen so far! When you had the first taste and said "It's not that bad" - I was like.. Wait for it... I wasn't disappointed, hope ring sting wasn't too bad the next day hahaha, best wishes Stephen
Only recently started watching Gary so I'm now doing some older videos. This one was so funny! I could almost feel the pain as Gary attemped to eat it all. Great effort and we certainly weren't let down!
My favorite is a Phall. But if I'm dining out I am nervous of getting hiccups, but not happened yet. Its best just to dive in, as you did. Once you get the taste there is no going back - though some restaurants, tone it down the heat. Looks like you got the real deal - great effort and review.
Gary I love watching your videos.. your phaal challenge I keep returning to though as love it when you go into a panic… amuses me everytime!! Keep on doing what you do, you’re a legend and a top bloke!!
My new favourite video ... Respectful of the restaurant but you have balls taking on that challenge......im glad your cameraman (son?) and staff enjoyed your experience....keep up the great reviews , regards John.
You smashed it pal. So you didn’t want all… you ate MOST of it and that is something let me tell you. I had one 10 years ago and it was an absolute ordeal. It burned the morning after, and I mean number one, not just number two… never encountered that before or since. Big respect mate
That was an incredibly entertaining review - I hated to see you suffering, but you know what you were getting yourself into! No doubt you're a much braver man than me... Always love watching your reviews from afar (Australia) and it's great to watch an absolute 'natural' on camera with an honest food review. Keep doing what your doing! Cheers, Wayne.
I was absolutely stupid for doing this one, the words never again springs to mind, but I bet I will do it because I’m stupid, I hope you have a great weekend, Wayne
Gazza mate, a respectful tip for you in regard to eating Indian food .....you gotta use your fingers to eat the food so as to experience the true feeling and the spiritual connection of enjoying an Indian meal . Love your uploads ❤
Oh Gary your such a trooper, well done you🎉 what a great review. I wasn’t laughing thats for sure, I think you are so brave taking on this review, and as usual so well presented, love to listen to your description of the food you make me think I’m there as usual. Keep up the great work you make my day 😍😍
My dad is totally nuts for spiced food. He ordered a phaal years ago and sent the food back saying he wanted it even hotter, all the chefs came out of the kitchen to watch him eat it.
"It's not too bad". Famous last words, mate xxx.
LOL, yep.
I knew it was going to be downhill from there. Never speak too soon with chilli.
It was awful Paul lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol there is always a slight delay before the anguish 🤣🤣

That's ok Gary ,why not just rate the restuarant in this comments section .You did very well though to get that far !
Aww Gary. You’re braver than me
Really felt for you
Well done 😊
You’ll need to have a rest after this Gary. You’ll be having the flag of Japan in the morning.
What was the name of that chicken dish? Look great , kept missing the nMe

That’s a really kind comment Luke and really appreciated thank you very much 🥵👍
You captured my experience perfectly, too!
Madras is my max heat along with mint yoghurt, but we have to all take our hats off to Gary for attempting the phall xx
Try the chicken ding when you go… That’s chicken in a microwave 😂😂😂😂
Water is the worst thing to drink when eating an extremely hot curry, it makes it hotter on your tongue. Yoghurt or milk is what you need… Keep up the great work Gary…
Gary, your manners are so amazing.Its a pleasure sitting at a table with you.very good and fair comments too.
That’s very kind to say, Gail thank you very much. It’s really appreciated.🌹🌹
‘If you’re laughing at home…..I don’t blame you’ 😂😂😂 This is brilliant, Gary.
Thank you I think Christopher lol 🥵🥵🥵
Pissing myself I had one some years ago and it is bloody hard work🥵🔥

@GaryEats: Pleasure, Gary xxx.
Brought up on hot curries , I was told spoonful of curry to 9 of rice, with naan , and minted yoghurt

Totally agree, similar to when I first found Rate My Takeaway, both gents are a pleasure to watch in very different ways.
Great authentic content and channel. Hats off to Gary
Yes, I agree with you and by the way I love Indian cuisine always ordering a side of vindaloo sauce but will never ever order a phall after just one mouthful of a friends 35 years ago.
There’s a desperate little bleat at 12:19…I burst out laughing 😂 Well done!
Thank you very much. This was simply too hot.
@@GaryEats For me, heat is like salt. It shouldn’t overpower a dish.
Oh the bleat is comedy gold!
@@GaryEats I read your comment before I got to that bit, but now it makes perfect sense! It's so relatable though. We have all had one of those hot curry moments.
Gary, you just became a legend. I especially admire your politeness towards the genuinely polite and a bit sadistic staff. The restaurant looks great.
Thanks so much Liam. Yes, they were enjoying my pain lol
I've been there about 30 times, it is always good quality and reasonably priced. The owner is a genuinely lovely bloke
I agree Jason thank you 👍
Do you fancy him?
@@chefduke3719i cant answer for that bloke but I've heard your mom's a bit of a goer so I've taken a fancy to her.
Awhh how lovely! The real question is do you even know your own mother? Or father for that matter @@markwillies7666 🤣
What a boring comment
“That’s not too bad” and then it hits. So funny. Well done Gary. Love all your videos mate.
Really appreciate that 👍🏼
I felt so bad for him!
That was funny.😅
Lol yeah I think we were all grinning and just saying ''wait for it...'' there.
The fact that the staff were all watching makes it even funnier!
Nothing funny about this one it was so hot. I panicked in the end.
Loved your honesty with this one ! Like the way you respected the restaurant with the previous dishes, which you obviously loved. Another great video Gary 😀
Thanks so much! 😊
Loved the sound of your shoes shuffling on the floor at 11.24, the exact moment the spices kicked in.
😊 thank you lol
Milk. You needed milk not water.
Thank you
I've always heard that bread is the best, as it soaks up and scrubs away the capsasin oil. 🤷
I find that a mouthful of sugar seems to instantly stop the burn. I guess it works to soak up the oils from the chillies
Orange juice is good to help stop the burn. As the comment above said, sugar helps nullify the spiciness.
Lassi is the way to go and definitely not water!
The presentation of the food looks gorgeous ! , your a brave man Gary ! , another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Best to calm it down with the boiled rice & yoghurt -
Drink milk not water for the burning sensation.
Spot on, im an idiot lol

Nothing works. Just got to wait it out. 🔥
Always order plain yogurt or raita with a hot dish!
i really love your channel you are such a genuine chap and that shines through
That is very kind to say thank you very much and have a wonderful Sunday
Years ago a mate of mine asked for an extra hot Phaal. The chef even came out to try and persuade him not to. I dipped my small finger in the sauce to taste it. It was like someone had shoved a knitting needle through my tongue. There is no pleasure in a curry that hot.
I fully agree, you were lucky to get the little finger back lol 👍🥵
Yup.. Can't see the enjoyment in eating something so hot your tongue melts
What did your mate think of it though?
Drink milk with it to avoid a stomach ulcer.
I stopped having them because most phaals were all heat and no flavour, so yep there was no enjoyment. If you're lucky you can find one with a nice flavour and then maybe it is worth it. It's so rare to find one that tastes good though that in the end I just gave up trying.
Recently found this channel and love it…and this particular review certainly made me chuckle!
Thank you Nigel that’s really appreciated, this was just too hot 🥵

You laughed Christine, I’m disappointed in you 😳…. Just joking even I laughed when I watched it back 🥵🥵🥵
Oh Gary I love you 😂
You didn’t let anyone down. I wouldn’t have touched it.
You are an amazing ambassador for your channel xxx
That’s very kind to say thank you very much on this occasion the curry was just too hot. Nearly blew my head off ha ha xx

For some palates, water will in fact make it worse. Much worse.
Thanks for letting me know
I agree milk helps a lot. Love my "Bunny Chow"
A sweet (mango) lassi is definitely the way to calm down the heat.
I tend to eat naan to reduce the heat. I heard that water is the worst thing you can do as it washes the protective saliva out of the mouth.
11:08 its not too bad
11:28 oh my god

Brilliant. What a setup with the "not too bad." Pure gold.
It hit me like BOOM 💥
Water is the worst thing you can drink with spicy food. You want dairy to neutralise the spices. The food look lovely, presentation was top notch

Mango lassi has never yet let me down when facing a powerful curry.

Wow, thank you
I love it how even the most refined and erudite of brits can't resist making the "I'll be suffering tomorrow" comment when eating hot food.
Thankfully I didn’t suffer the next day
Amateur mistake to eat the Phaal with water. Every mouthful gets progressively worse. Needed a cream/milk based drink. Lassi always goes down a treat.
I know now Dave 🥵🥵
👆good advice
or sugar
I always (and have always told people this) it's like trying to put a fire out by pouring petrol on it, does nothing but spread the burn
Yoghurt and banana works well
Laughing!!! I was crying! You said not too bad and then mouth on fire! Hilarious !!
I was in tears... literally

Great recommendation so we travelled from Folkestone to try it
10 out of 10 best food we've had in a while
Thanks for the review Gary
I’m really pleased you gave it a go and all good 👍
Good God, I can’t believe you actually managed as much of the phaal as you did!
I gave it a go
That bill really makes a mockery of the £37 fish and chips, in quantity and quality.
Im watching this again Gary 2nd time around is even better than the 1st time😂😂 im actually howling at your suffering as your face goes redder and redder with each bite I do apologise. One of the funniest reviews ive ever seen on youtube..

First time watching you and you’ve had me in stitches 😂 thank you!!!!
Thank you for watching 👍🥵🥵

You didn't let us down mate, you did very well. I am pretty sure I couldn't manage a Phaal these days. I say these days because back in the 90's I worked for an Indian taxi company here in the UK driving a 16 seater minibus on a Friday and Saturday nights.
At the end of the shift at about 5am, the other drivers would all get meals from the local Indian take away. Now and again, the boss would order a super hot one for me as a joke because I told them I liked 'Asian Style' curries. Regardless of how hot it was I would eat it and try my hardest not to cringe. Back in the good old days.
Tell you what though Gary, if you think that Phaal was hot now, wait till tomorrow morning when you sit on that pot. I bet that was equally as fun...........
Thank you, that's very kind. It was so so spicy wow
I had this, decades ago. The staff told me not to have it, but I played the 'big man', and went ahead.
The following morning, was so painful and sore, when it came out red. Never again. Who knows what it does to one's inside.
Oh Gary! Hilarious! Well done for having a go!
Thank you for watching and commenting
Hat's off to you Sir for trying it! You must be mad 🤣🤣🤣The other food looked delicious!
You are completely right I should’ve ordered a korma lol 😂
I just had to show this to my wife she cracked up laughing as well.. brilliant review as always.. thanks again Gary ❤❤❤
Thank you Dave I’m pleased you both enjoyed x
09:50 As someone that llikes things hot I can say quite confidently... NO WATER! Ask for milk, water only makes it worse by activating more capciasen...
Thank you very much for the advice
Joghurt or a Salt lassi only...no water!!!!!
Great job Gary, would say you nailed that.
Food looks delicious & reasonably priced for that meal.
Thank you and I totally agree 👍
You did NOT let us down. You should be VERY PROUD of yourself for eating as much as you did. Well done.
Schoolboy error is ice water .. you need riata , yogurt or milk
Or maybe just order a korma
What I love about you Gary is that softly spoken, honest approach ….. and I really mean honest approach. I really want to try (or avoid) places you go to, especially as you relatively local to me. Other RUclipsrs doing the same should take note, after 5 minutes of them talking about their car, girlfriend or whatever can be entertaining (though often tiresome) the real deal, is going to a recommended restaurant, trying suggested/different dishes and making a judged appraisal. Well done sir.
That’s very kind thank you and so much appreciated, have a great weekend 👌😊
How many seconds from Its not too bad to Oh my god 😅 i burdt out laughing Gary
It was about 15 seconds, blew my head off lol 😂
Me too, just saying to myself `give it a few seconds` and then `Oh My God`. I burst out laughing .
Oh Gary, I rewatched this after watching the video with Greeno having the hot curry. Honestly I was absolutely cracking up again watching this, I had tears running down my cheeks ! Bloody good on you though for doing these and I don’t blame you for not doing anymore ! Thanks Gary! 😊
A long time ago was with a few friends and we all decided to order a phall. The waiter looked puzzled and said, "Phall is only for drunks and madmen, which one are you"!!!
Lol!!
I'm usually both 🤣🤣
@@RUclips_hates_truthpour all rice in and eat the lot with naan bread piece of piss lovely 😅😅
@@alanholgate3442 I agree....if it gets too much, drink mint raita with it. I usually use Warsteiner though. I actually enjoy the ring sting the next day....central heating for the botty!!!! 🤣🤣
@@RUclips_hates_truth it never gets too much for me I dont get ring sting no more I can eat hottest food going not a problem mate 😂😂
New to the channel and I have to say I was in tears with laughter. The food looked so nice but that Phaal looked evil. Bet you put the loo paper in the fridge before you used it. Cool the ring of fire when needed. Great review, very, very funny. Can't believe you managed to eat so much of the Phaal. Got to say that Laziz looked amazing as well. Need to try that. Keep up the great work.
Hello and thank you for subscribing, watching and commenting it’s very much appreciated, unbelievably I was ok in the morning which I couldn’t believe, hopefully see you on the next one tonight
Great review as always Gary and the food looked fab however in regards to the phall It’s beyond me why anyone would want to do this to themselves ? Please don’t feel that you let us down, you’ve probably saved 1000’s from doing it to themselves.
Hi thanks for following 🎉but could you send me you bank details and I'll arrange a subscription so you can carry on enjoying and helping the channel grow 😊
@@mattsandilands6380 To release the endorphin Dragon.
You need to get out more if you were Im tears of laughter mate
"It's not too bad!"
2 seconds later:
"😶🤯🤯🤯"
Hahaha
Famous last words!
Absolutely brilliant, so genuine and funny. Keep up the great work
Thank you very much
Toilet roll in the freezer for this one !
Definitely Andy lol
😂😂
A glass of water actually could make the feeling of the Phaal spice _worse_ , not better. People recommend a cold glass of milk or orange juice instead.
I appreciate the information thank you 🙏
@@GaryEats You're welcome. That's at least what I've read from doctors online.
Thanks for making these great videos Gary. You always cheer me up 😊
That’s great to hear thank you
Gary i could watch your content all the time mate. You're just a really happy and lovely man. Hope you keep it up, sending you lots of best wishes 🙂
That is very kind to say thank you very much
Hilarious, I especially liked the whimpering. This is something I would NEVER try. So well done on giving it a go.
That’s very kind to say, but I was a bit of a Muppet for doing it Daniel
Fair play to you!! I like that you tried the other food first, a true gentleman!!
I think that was on,y right 👍
The Scoville scale for hotness of chilis is based on how much you can dilute something in water while still detecting it. By analogy you could start with the tiniest amount of sauce mixed in with all of the rice, and try a bit: if it's too hot, don't add any more; if it's not too hot, add a bit more sauce and mix again. This would be like dipping the toe in the water whereas taking a big mouthful is more like just jumping straight in without being sure you're able to swim!
Thank you very much for the information
I'm new to this channel and you didn't let anyone down.
That’s very kind to say, thank you, Nick
My new favorite food content creator . Really well done..ive watched nearly all of these already 👏
That is very kind to say Dean, thank you very much, I really appreciate you watching and commenting
@GaryEats not at all Gary..im a retired chef and can only bear the creators that love food more than themselves 😂
OMG Gary, this was the funniest review video of yours that I've seen so far! When you had the first taste and said "It's not that bad" - I was like.. Wait for it... I wasn't disappointed, hope ring sting wasn't too bad the next day hahaha, best wishes Stephen
Thank you Stephen, the spice hit me like wow 🥵🥵
Only recently started watching Gary so I'm now doing some older videos. This one was so funny! I could almost feel the pain as Gary attemped to eat it all. Great effort and we certainly weren't let down!
Glad you enjoyed it Stuart thank you
What a trooper! You gained a new subscriber mate, top bloke here
Thank you very much a bit of a muppet doing this really Alex
@@GaryEats you’re a badass mate
My favorite is a Phall. But if I'm dining out I am nervous of getting hiccups, but not happened yet. Its best just to dive in, as you did. Once you get the taste there is no going back - though some restaurants, tone it down the heat. Looks like you got the real deal - great effort and review.
Thank you Mike
Gary I love watching your videos.. your phaal challenge I keep returning to though as love it when you go into a panic… amuses me everytime!! Keep on doing what you do, you’re a legend and a top bloke!!
That is so kind to say thank you
My new favourite video ... Respectful of the restaurant but you have balls taking on that challenge......im glad your cameraman (son?) and staff enjoyed your experience....keep up the great reviews , regards John.
Thank you very much, John. This was a bit silly but it was a bit of fun.
This is one of the most British videos I've ever seen. Brilliant! 😂
That’s really kind to say thank you very much, Joe
You didn’t let me down Gary, I was in stitches!🤣🤣🤣🙏👍🦘
Thank you very much, Tim, unfortunately it was a bit spicy 🌶️
You didn't let anyone down. That was a brilliant effort!
Thank you very much Gerard 👍
I was laughing hysterically as you said "if youre laughing, I dont blame you". This might be the funniest video Ive seen in ages.
I’m pleased you enjoyed, I’m not sure I did 😂🥵🥵🥵
What a gentleman. You were polite to the staff and gave the restaurant a fair review.
Thank you very much, Terry
The sound you make at 12:18 tells the perfect story. The fear in that alone!
Unfortunately, it hit me like an express train 🥵🥵🥵
You smashed it pal. So you didn’t want all… you ate MOST of it and that is something let me tell you. I had one 10 years ago and it was an absolute ordeal. It burned the morning after, and I mean number one, not just number two… never encountered that before or since. Big respect mate
Thank you very much but it was too hot in the end 🥵🥵
Keep going lad, ive been in stiches 😂 watching you do this challenge, good on ya
Legend! Thanks Phil
12:17 the whine you made as the spices soaked into your mouth 🤣🤣!!
Great video!
Thanks! 😃
well done gary a true gentleman to the end, best reviewer on here in my opinion
Thank you very much John
I love these..it’s seriously addictive..my mouth was watering watching this
Thank you!!
You could easily open the restaurant of your own. I’m sure youd do amazing business.
That was an incredibly entertaining review - I hated to see you suffering, but you know what you were getting yourself into! No doubt you're a much braver man than me... Always love watching your reviews from afar (Australia) and it's great to watch an absolute 'natural' on camera with an honest food review. Keep doing what your doing! Cheers, Wayne.
I was absolutely stupid for doing this one, the words never again springs to mind, but I bet I will do it because I’m stupid, I hope you have a great weekend, Wayne
Gazza mate, a respectful tip for you in regard to eating Indian food .....you gotta use your fingers to eat the food so as to experience the true feeling and the spiritual connection of enjoying an Indian meal . Love your uploads ❤
I do understand your points, but I can’t do that as it’s a review
My first ever curry in the 1970s was a phaal ,toilet roll in freezer best way to go, had several since, you've not let anybody down.
Very nice of you to say Robert, thank you
Oh Gary your such a trooper, well done you🎉 what a great review.
I wasn’t laughing thats for sure, I think you are so brave taking on this review, and as usual so well presented, love to listen to your description of the food you make me think I’m there as usual.
Keep up the great work you make my day 😍😍
Now tell the truth, Sue, you did laugh a little bit, this was simply too hot and I was a bit of a Muppet 🌹❤️🌹🥵🥵🥵
Food here looks excellent, very nicely presented! You were brave tackling the phall. It looked painful. 🙂
I agree with you the food was very good, but as you know that Phall was just too hot 🥵
My dad is totally nuts for spiced food. He ordered a phaal years ago and sent the food back saying he wanted it even hotter, all the chefs came out of the kitchen to watch him eat it.
I’m not trying to be rude at all, but your dad is mad 🥵🥵
@@GaryEats mad don't cut it, he's got a death wish.
