when it's got a bubble wall you just know it's gonna hit different
Magic growing hot towels!

If they could have found some complimentary aperitifs they would be the top of the tree
But nonetheless we can celebrate that after some failures, good curry nights are so back❤️

Taste of Goa, Crouch Hill
2025 best in North London
Homely in a no frills way. Plastic plates, no glamour, but good food. Flavoursome curries and really good breads. Decent chutney trays.
No towels or mints or aperitifs.
Desserts from Aroma but none of the usual (good) staples
6.5/10

"Honey chili potatoes" were loaded fries
Ghandi's famous quote about customers?
Hara Bara kebab quite dense and farmyard-y, curries all quite boring and unseasoned. Breads actually good!
Think it's our lowest yet
4/10 popadoms.

Namaaste Kitchen, Camden
Best in London Suburbs, 2014
Flavourful! Well spiced! Good selection of specials. Enjoyable spongey breads. Limited BIR style trinkets (no warm towels, mints or aperitifs!) but overall quite solid.
Playlist very Rihanna heavy but played quietly 😌
