Tandoori Hut

My friends had moved to a flat up in Low Waters Road and we decided to ring in a takeaway one night, choosing an Indian randomly from the Yellow Pages and hoping it would be ok!
The man on the phone took a while to get past the language barrier, but after ten or so minutes of shouting ‘no, chicken Dansac not dopiaza’ down the phone, we finally got our order placed.
We decided to drive down and get it in the end as delivery was going to take a good hour and we were starving! I went with my friend and we drove down the road to what can only be described as a shack, which looked a lot like it should be closed down.
It’s really small inside, with barely enough room for 4 or 5 customers, but it looked clean enough so we tried to brush our initial reservations aside as we waited on our order. It came out in pretty quick time with free popudoms and spicy onions, and off we went.
To be frank, we weren’t expecting much after the state of the take away. It really is horrible, and if we had seen it before we ordered we definitely would have decided against it!
The portion sizes were huge and we had enough left over to feed the five thousand. The prices were about reasonable for an Indian take away but I wouldn’t have minded paying a little more for the amount we got.
I had a chicken dansac with fried rice and Peshwari Nann and it was out of this world, by far one of the nicest Indian meals I have ever had, and most definitely the nicest take away by a million miles. The sauce was rich with plenty of lentils in it, the rice was soft and fluffy and the nann was packed with coconut and really sweet, absolutely yummy!
My friends have since moved away, and I always compare all of my Indian meals to this one. I haven’t had one better since.
This is a prime example of not judging a book by it’s cover
