Anyone been.........

[meelin]

to the Three Singhs or Saffron restaurants, if so, which one do you recommend, bearing in mind that Mrs Meelin, who is paying, can't stand curry, and would be hoping to get an omlette or something similar.

[Jantje]

Three Singhs is top notch Meelin, been several times, good food, friendly staff, good service & they are City fans!!!...what more do you want!!

[terrynewpack]

Take your season ticket or a matchday ticket to the Three Singhs and you get the 'buy one get one free' treatment.

[Devil's Advocate]

You can't have an omelette in a curry house, it's blasphemy.

[Edwin Fitzgerald]

Agreed about the 3 singhs- quality place!! Great food; great service, and city fans! They even sponsor some of the players!

[meelin]

Yeah, I know, but believe me it has been a major achievement to get her into a curry house in the first place.

I have the same problem as Sharron does not like anything hot(apart from me) and dont go for cuury at all. So she has had Scampi and chips on the rare accasions we have ventured into a "curry House"
They dont go this kind of simple food very well it seems according to her:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Surely even the Asians can fry some scampi and chips to good effect if they can produce some of the most tasteful and invigorating food money can buy.:confused:

My missus is the same... she swears they fry the scampi in the same oil as the samosas so won't go anymore.

Who their right mind would marry a woman who didn't like curry?....:confused:
Not being a fan of football, beer, the types of music you like - fine, but curry?...:eek:

Tell me they at least can cook, iron and clean.....:eek: ;)

The list of food my mrs doesn't like is unbelievable,and almost endless, if we go out for a meal it is generally english type dishes, if we go for pizza, she always has mushroom, no extra herbs, and she never eats the crusts, if we go for chinese, it's always chicken and cashew nuts, never has curry or spicy food of any type, but to be fair to her, if I want a curry or chilli when I get back from the game, she will make one from scratch, and have it ready for me when I get home.

Went to Three Singhs last night, was well impressed, the starter I had nearly blew my bollocks off, it was some kind of cheese tikka served on a sizzling plate,with onions and peppers, and some kind of paste that had the exposive quality, followed by king prawn karahi, the mrs, true to form, had spring rolls, an omlette with chips,followed by tiramisu ice-cream, and she was still up half the night with the galloping sheites!

Shame there wasn't more people in there last night though,Ipresume they make thier money at the week-ends?

Thanks to all who recommended it, I will go again, don't know about Mrs Mellin though.:D

[Garlic Breath]

Yeh Sharron is much the same..."dont make it too hot"...."dont put any of that in it"........."can I have chips"....."what are these stringy bits?"......"not Sesame seeds again"...blah blah blah blah blah........some burds just have no culture.:rolleyes:

I made some Tacos with mixed vegetables the other night...I sliced up a Quorn fillet and stir fryed the resulting mass of fine,healthy and meetfree vegetables....oops there I go again preaching:rolleyes:
Anyway I had to pick out the bits of Quorn to put in my Tacos,leaving Her with none as per Her express directive.
Anyone else would have got a slap.:D

[Blue Monday]

Quorn Fillets FFS - Got invited to a brown rice brigade BBQ last summer with the wife:rolleyes:

Quorn is shite!!

[Sleepless in settle]

If you have a mrs that doesn't like spice, Zouk on Leeds Road have an open grill and cook meats at a fairly mild level.

Their curries are awesome (the deghi kebab curry is to die for as is the lamb passanda) the breads superb and the service impeccible (they beat one of gordon ramsey's restaurants in a front of house award) - its niceley decorated but unlike the themepark that is mumtaz (jeez i'm brave criticising that) it has style and substance and is much more affordable.

Haven't been to the three singhs, will have to try that out.

Do they sell booze at Zouk? I can't eat a curry without a nice, cold, lager. Which is why I don't fancy Mumtaz. I could drop into my old haunt the Wagon for a pint if I went to Zouk. And then bare my arse to the patrons of Akbars for old times sake. Those were the days. :)

Oh yes, you can have the proper strong 8% King Cobra as well or for the light-weights the Cobra light. Zouk does fantastic food as well.

[yankeebantam]

no wonder they dont like curry,s,the wanking in the food an filthy kitchen sometimes put me of a tad.bring on fish an chips drowned in mushy peas,at least they dont use month old meat an veg.

[mowgli]

Just to update this I went to the 3 Singhs with the girlfriend and my little lad on Monday and it was really busy but only had to wait about 10 mins for a table. She went for Chicken Korma, I went for Chicken Tikka main and the food was lovely. Service was fast and they have got rid of the massive bar that was in the restaurant and replaced it with more tables. Decorated it a bit differently in the bottom part too.

It's buy 1 main course get 1 free all night now on Mondays, got a glass of wine, glass of lemonade, 2 glasses of coke, 2 fruit shoots, 2 main courses, extra rice and naan bread for about £25.

[Yeadon Bantam]

Ill add a bit.

I think the Saffron in Guiseley is owned by the same chain as one in Bradford et al.

Anywho went for a nice curry tonight to the newly refurbished Saffron in guiselLEEDSPOSHENDAWAYFROMCITYCENTREey.

Decent grub, nice surroundings!

Theres loads of decent asian places round here if you can be arsed!

Was in Zouk last night, only complaint was it was very busy, as were all the big names on Leeds Road. Restaurants packed out on a Wednesday night - what credit crunch??


The Zouk is owned by the same bloke who run the Kebabish in Greengates (great guy BTW) and would recommend either.

Which one is best? I'm in Bradford over Xmas and fancied Zouk...but will be staying in Greengates, so a short walk up the hill to Kebabish wouldnt be so bad either. Really looking forward to a nice curry.......

My boss went to Kebabeesh last week as part of the Lord Mayors Appeal Curry Run & he said it was very good indeed , well worth the visit apart from the piano crooner who kept turning the volume up as no one was listening:rolleyes:

Tallin - both are good - but the ZOUK is open from breakfast serves breakfasts / good spicy meals and some great desserts/puddings. Peter the owner is a lovely guy as are is sons and staff. Service can slow down when busy like a lot of restaurants - but gives you time for another cobra! Both Keebabeesh and Zouk do a Christmas day menu - if you want something different from Turkey! Keebabeesh has a magician if you are taking kids!

While the Zouk & Kebabeesh are both great, they've a somewhat different personality - I guess otherwise theyd' have the same name.

Kebabeesh is more in the traditional mode. Personally I'd opt for the Keba, especially if I was close by..

[Tallinnbantam]

Cheers for the info. Is Keba Indian though? The name implies that its more kebab/turkish orientated? There's no such thing as a curry over here, but every second restaurant is a georgian, ukranian kebab house. Looking at Zouks menu makes my mouth water - I'll have a look and see if Keba has a website.
And yeah, I do want something different from Turkey this Christmas, which is why me and the mrs are spending it in Cyprus! :)

[Tallinnbantam]

Think I'm gonna go for Zouk...looks like its more curry based than Kabeesh. I'll be stuffing myself with grilled meat over in Cyprus the week before, so I'll be looking for traditional English foods like curry and fish and chips.........

Which brings me onto the next question. Which chippy is the best?! My grans swears the one in Idle is the best (plus it gives her the chance to show me the working mans club and laugh herself silly....for the umpteenth time. Got to laugh back though - she's 86 bless her!).

[Giantstrawstacks]

The Kebabeesh is in fact Kashmiri.

[Tallinnbantam]

so...any chippy suggestions?

Understand the weather was not too good for a few days in Cyprus over Christmas Tallin - hope the others made up for it - a bit unlucky that as it has hardly rained this year. You should blame the women in Yeni Erenkoy on the Karpas in the TRNC part - who I understand did some kind of rain dance. Seriously though the island needs the wet stuff badly - with water supplies being rationed - sorry some it had to fall during what was probably a well earned holiday. Hope it did not spoil it too much though!
