Overall Score: 7.950
Cost: £15-20
RECOMMENDED
Tony's belated birthday curry trip and we went local to try the food at the Curry Leaf on Tavistock Street in Bedford. Excellent offer at this restaurant - starter, main, side, rice and naan for £9.95 on any day of the week - exceptional offer!
PICKLES
Arrived and ordered our 7 poppadoms, 3 pickles offered by the attentive waiter and we also asked for lime pickle and mint sauce. Pickles let down by the lime pickle which was not enjoyed by either Lee or Tony - this reflected in the score.
STARTERS
Simon opted for the Prawn Puri, Lee going for the Vegetable Puri - both were excellent and served on a slightly thicker Puri than in other restaurants that we have visited. Tony decided on stuffed pepper, enjoyed it but would have preferred another colour from the green one served. All in all not a bad start to the meal.
MAIN COURSE
Tony decided on the Chicken Rogan and his side dish of Madra Samba, a lovely combination of spices which also had a nice little kick to it as well. We all had a taste and agreed that this would have made a really tasty main course. Simon went for the Chicken Korahi and Mutter Paneer as his side dish. Very good portion which contained a lot of chicken, excellent main course. Lee chose Vegetable Jalfrezi with Saag Paneer, again another excellent main course and side combination. Everyone enjoyed their main courses which is truly reflected in the score awarded.
No desserts this time as we had all eaten a fair bit of food - plenty left over for lunch the following day. In summary a restaurant that offers a very good deal and provides a good quality of food. Service good, only slight problem with the pickles, this brought the overall score down for The Curry Leaf.
