Lamb tikka will generally be less tender due to the tandoor high temperature cooking, whereas the curried lamb will have been pre cooked slowly for tenderness. I know I don't have to tell you that 😉
Thank-you Darren for another splendid revue love the way you try different things makes it more interesting and the same as your breakfast revues great mate wish I could get it in Thailand
Hi Darren, lovely video, happy you enjoyed the Bombay blast it looks delicious 😋😋. And the lamb starter looked good as well . Such a great video thanks 😊
Darren, having seen this video when it came out I had to try the place, went yesterday & it was absolutely brilliant, thanks very much for the video & the recommendation!
We don’t have Cobra,in the US it’s Kingfisher,or Taj Mahal here.Yes I love spicy food,I have a jar of chili flakes by my cook top.Where I live it’s Bangladeshi takeouts,and your choice is beef,goat,or chicken curries,they tend to be very spicy especially the beef,only one of each home style cooking,2 fish curries,difficult to eat as they are made from small river fish with lots of bones,an though I eat by hand,I still have trouble with the bones.Darren someone suggested you try Indonesian food,I think you would love Beef Randang,so flavorful,and their other dishes are very good too.
Lovely looking Indian food there DJ. Lookes great all round. Lunchtime or evening, I'm always happy to have spicy food no matter the time of day. I've had phalls and vindaloos for breakfast before from leftovers lol. I do enjoy Cobra with my curry. I enjoy Kingfisher also but Cobra seems to be the most available in restaurants where i live. As for Naan breads. I love a Naan, especially Keema. However, in more recent times I've gone for a Paratha instead. Its not too dissimilar to naan but its pan fried in oil rather than baked in a tandoori clay oven. So it's got that fried bread type taste to it. Stuffed Paratha is nice too. Thanks for sharing the video mate and glad you enjoyed👍
We have the Portuguese to thank for introducing chillies to India in the 16th century (I may be off by 100 years) after they found them in South America. They did the same thing to Thailand in the late 1600''s "look what we found on the other side of the world, give them a whirl."
Your face told the story pure pleasure. The quality looked fantastic both starter and main. You are number one on food vlogs for sure so descriptive. For me the price was fair especially in London. Cheers Colin.
I feel you have already got a pre conceived opinion on a lot of these places you visit regularly. Watching it back the starter in your own words the lamb was not as tender as you would like..that is a pretty big issue. The main looked okay and the decor is excellent.
I like your 'local flavour' walking bits before the restaurant. If that's what you like to do, don't bow down to the negative viewers. We can all skip the first 2 mins if it's not our bag, I personally enjoy seeing parts of London you clearly are proud of. Keep up the great content as long as it makes you happy, and we will love to watch! #IsleOfWight
Looks absolutely delicious DJ. Your channel doesn’t half give me the desire to get some Indian food. Been marinating some lamb cutlets in tandoori paste and yoghurt for the last 24 hours so that’s on the cards tonight. Hope I enjoy them as much as you enjoyed your Bombay Blast. All the best DJ👍
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G 🎉 And no , not dessert after an Indian meal but I am quite partial to a Benedictine liqueur coffee ☕️ (One of the very few places you can find this Monks liqueur now is at an Indian restaurant)
I think Darren emphasises the quality and that’s obviously so important to him. He’s supporting British Restaurants which is brilliant. Looked fabulous to me but I am always surprised how he eats so much. The starter would have done me with a few spoonfuls of rice🤩🤣🤩Thanks Darren.
Darren, could you review an Indonesian restaurant mate. When I lived and worked in Australia I feel in love with their food. The Beef Rendang is actually named the king of curries. Incredible intense flavour.
Went to the Indian 2 due to your review with my pals.Had the Jalfong Chicken myself really outstanding DJ and this will become a regular from now on.Everyone has their own opinions of Indian Restaurants and are very protective of them. This goes straight into equal first place with the Naz Balti in Twickenham.
I have to confess to being a chicken tikka massala addict - and every time i visit a new curry spot im torn between enjoying a known favourite but wanting to expand my horizons. I think you are tempting me to slide up the spice scale. Do i ever have dessert - no chance. After poppadoms, a starter, a main with rice and perhaps a naan im incapable of speaking let alone a dessert DJ. Another venue for the growing bucket list.
Looked absolutely delicious 😋 From memory you have a love hate relationship with King Prawns, you absolutely loved them at City Spice as a starter. Would love to see some King Prawn Indian main dishes.
Hi again young Darren. An excellent Indian meal, quality all the way, plenty of food there, would have fed two diners. Price ok for London. Off the Charts, a 10/10.
My favourite is Chicken Tikka Ceylon. Nice heat and flavour. I find Madras a little bland for me. I occasionally have a Chicken Tikka Vindaloo because of its unique flavour and heat. I normally have a Tikka dish as opposed to plain chicken but Definately NON Tikka if lamb as I find it makes lamb a bit chewy. Normally I find non tikka lamb curry just melts in the mouth. I used to prefer Cobra to Kingfisher as it tasted smoother to me. Nowadays it’s soda and lime 😉. Pistachio Kulfi ice cream is hard smooth and delicious.
Hi DJ Just found you Your f&c’s Prague then India 3 and subscribed Now and then I stick a hot one in It rude not too 🤗🤗🤗 Great videos btw Al si Thei 👍👍👍
Great video Darren believe this restaurant used to be a bar years ago we used to frequent this area and always moved from bar to bar Your meal looked really good ❤
Good Evening DJ. From what. i could see of the Restaurant. This would be were i would go and have my Indian meal at. Your starter and main course looked absolutely Delicious. The meat looked so Tender and succulent. Your rice dish looked very well cooked. The Bombay Blast like rather a Challenge. Too Hot for me that would be, i like my Indian food nice and mild. I love a curry that is nice and has a Good Sauce with it. India 3, what an Incredible place to have some Excellent Top Quality India Food and a cool pint or two of Kingfisher Lager. What a Great video this was DJ. Thank you for sharing.
Used to a great Indian in Glasgow called balbairs lovely place ..at weekend had someone.play piano. And there salmon in tandoori oven was to die for no longer as owner retired
That curry looks incredible! I’m a bit of a chilli head myself, I love making a phall curry. Love your Videos Darren, great watch as always. Best wishes from Scotland 😊x x
Darren, before you cut to the intro drum beats, preceeding the opening music, and said " I've been to India 1..and India 2.......I've just gone and found India 3.....!! " the clearly happy and excited expression on your face was priceless!! You make great TV experience for the viewer, Darren. You are a great showman and a lot of what you convey is through your natural expressions and a lot of the continued interest is in your own magnetic personality... You are yourself and thats what we love about you but im sure you couldve turned your hand to acting and done a more than competent job. I'm noticing an evolution in your filming style. There seems to be a maturation in your presentation. You seem more thoughtful, and considered and im noticing it as well in your narration. You engage the viewer and you are an interesting worldy- wise person. Im with you on the Kingfisher's but then i dont like the owner of Cobra Tony Bliars mate 'Lord Billamory'... Thank you Darren.
@@DJsFoodTravels I'm not on social media, Darren ( for personal reasons). I will continue to show support on here for your channels all the time I continue to enjoy and get entertainment value from them. Keep doing what you're doing and have patience because you ARE growing your channels organically. Think of it as marathon not a sprint... Thank you, Darren.
Hello DJ 🙋♂️ Hope you are good !! I thought 💭 you being a three (3) star ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Michelin Chef 👨🍳 (Retired) you would have remembered when starting luncheon, one always start using the cutlery 🍴 from the outside in !! Bet Luke would have known that !! 😂😂 James 🫶✌️
Amazing looking place & ambience, food equalled the surroundings. I enjoy a salad with Tandoori chicken or a steak, but a curry has to have a nice thick sauce.
No bad comments from me its quality food, don't think certain channels would pay that its delicious. Absolutely can't put a price on quantity amazing food
'Vindaloo 'is originally a standard very aromatic masala, but the British made it synonymous with melting your face off?I've made some sauce and it's in the fridge at about tikka heat,then I put more chilli in it during cooking?ENJOY DJ from BIGMICK IN HULL 😋
Choice of Beer - Cobra, but I do remember Dortmunder, that was a Good Pint. Never eat a Hot Curry, just stick Rogan Josh or a Chefs Special, was told by a mate, about Spicy Curries, if you have a Chicken or Lamb, you should taste the Meat first then the Spices. Another good Vid.
I love your videos Darren. Will you consider doing an audit in Sutton, not far from Carshalton Village where you've been before? It's a lovely little Indian restaurant call 'Indiya Indiya'.
Lovely inside the restaurant and the food looked very tasty....I'd have to go mild or medium hotness! I don't think the price was too bad for a Lovely Restaurant 🍴 tasty food 🍲 & a drink 🍻 Lizzie 👌👏🤗
Love the new Channel Darren .. Big fan of all your content though x .. Coming down from Yorkshire to race the marathon in April with friends staying near Borough market .. any pasta recommendations ?
Great review. Place looks fantastic. Price is fair for London. Would be the same in Manchester. I prefer Cobra tbh. It's my goto. Yes I love hot. Your meal was just my type. Yeh as you said, OTC.
Place looks good . I love lamb .you are a foodie just like me . There is salad and salad .lol . Looked delicious my mouth was watering .I think lunch food is totally different to evening food in spices .I going my taste buds are different at night perhaps it's the alcohol makes it taste different.. how good did that look. Bet it tasted really delicious. Well jell lol x
I have to say regardless of the food content, your editing skills and background music are amazing. What is the editing time typically for a video like this? I appreciate that the more you do, the faster you are, but i would guess at least 3-4 hours. What are rules on using music in the background?
Looked yummy curry abit to high on the rector scale in heat for me tho ,new sight numbers creeping up nicely but you’ve got to change the jingle at the start prob something on the lines of the original 😊
I haven't drunk much King Fisher I like it's story and the Cobra story is a good one too. I like Cobra. Also if you ever can review a Dal Mass some day, I think you will like it.
That looked utterly delicious and I tend to err on the side of spice. So, a Phall is my usual “GoTo”…but…There are Phalls and there are Phalls. Some are just powdery, awful messes and some are beautifully fragrant, citrussy, deeply flavoured masterpieces.
Looks tasty Darren. I'm with you mate, I prefer a hotter curry in the evening. How appropriate this video is, as I made a nice hot Indian beef curry for my dinner which I had earlier.
Well i must tell my Indian next door neighbours that they aren't cooking authentic Indian food because some of their dishes (in fact the majority) are spicy in the extreme , i don't like spicy food and even their non spicy food can be to hot sometimes, the mother says its because of the blend of spices she uses its nothing to do with the chillies. Yet another great video.
