I find most Indian restaurants formulaic. Very rich sauce, with the basic ingredients out of a sack. We are lucky to have a couple that are a little special - the Dewanian and Barbur - but they charge for it! Best Indian food that I had was in Kanataka. Outside this there are some places off Brick Lane, Tooting and Bradford, that are more authentic. There are also good Keralan restaurants in Portland Place and Drummond Street.

Can readers tell me why one curry house is better than another?
