Namaste India, Costa Teguise, Lanzarote (1st October 2016)

RECOMMENDED

3rd night and 3rd curry. Today was a little more subdued due to the 6am finish from the previous evening - DJ Daz taking the biggest hit struggling with his beer.....(note: he was the youngest in the group by some distance - the youth today!!)

Tonight's choice was the highly rated Namaste Indian, scoring 5 stars on TripAdvisor.

Poppadums' with a fiery red onions, mint sauce and mango chutney kicked off the food followed by starters including a very tasty Chana chat, Paneer Pakora, Onion Bhaji, Veg Samosa and Chicken Samosa.

Mains tonight were Saag Paneer Vindaloo, Veg Balti, a hot Chicken Jalfrezi, Malahi Kofta, Chicken Biryani and Chicken Tikka Chat with a selection of rices and nan breads - all curries were good, full of flavour, plenty of it and well deserved the 5-star review on TripAdvisor (DJ Daz almost managed 2 mouthfuls!

Maharaja Palace, Gran Canaria (24th September 2015)

Price: €20
Score: 8.833

RECOMMENDEDDay 1 in Gran Canaria was eventful - early start to Stansted, cheeky beer, 4 hour flight then bar, pool, bar, lunch, bar, cards, bar, then curry! And tonight was at Maharaja Palace.

The lads were rather peckish given their busy day.

Beer and poppadoms started off the meal served with mint sauce,  mango chutney,  onion salad and lime pickle.

Starters followed with chilli Paneer chat, shish kebab, chicken chat and Paneer Pakora - clear plates all round . The overall assessment was positive with Lee and Simon scoring 8 for the Paneer Tikka and Tony agreeing with 8 for the Paneer Pakora.

Mains followed with Paneer Tikka Balti, egg Balti, chicken Tikka masala, chicken Tikka jalfrezi and mix veg curry. Lee enjoyed his spicy Paneer Tikka Balti scoring a well earned 8. Simons egg curry was very tasty, everybody agreed, with Simon scoring a 9. Tony scored an 8 for his veg curry and mushroom rice with a side note of 'more mushrooms needed.

Service was very friendly if not altogether competent scoring 7.

And value for money was pretty good, again scoring a solid 7.667.

Overall a very enjoyable meal and one the boys would return too if in Gran Canaria in the near future.
