Vas's restaurant reviews
By popular demand I have now updated my listings to include Chicken Tikka Massala (CTM), Chicken Tikka sizzler (CT) and Fish Tikka sizzler (FT). This listing will get updated as I visit more and more restaurants. Following a documentary on how chickens are treated on farms, I am now a 'semi-vegetarian' (pescetarian), only eating fish (until I see a documentary on how fish are treated!). As such the CTM and CT can no-longer be updated. Sorry!

* The Buffet lunch (Monday-Sunday, I think) is also excellent.
** Impressive alcohol prices not that I drink.
*** The best value for money restaurant around. The fish tikka is phenomenal. The Afghani Naan's are a sight for sore eyes.
**** Those of you who count calories or avoid greasy food, you will LOVE Cumin Spice.
Note that the BEST chicken tikka massala is served at the 'House of Curry's' on Durrant Avenue, Berkeley, CA, USA. This receives an unequivocal '10'.
