Great local curry house
Long-established local curry house, usually full of family groups on a Saturday evening.
The food is excellent, very consistent. My favourites on the large menu include the chicken massalum which contains chicken, mince and a boiled egg in a medium sauce. My girlfriend always has the tandoori chicken since she cannot tolerate chilli. The balti is also great, and the sag aloo (potato cooked in spinach and vegetables) is unmissable.
Their signature dish in my opinion is the salmon chilli massala, a tandoori fish dish in a hottish sauce. Pricy but superb. Also very good is the fish curry massala which is a whole trout, well cooked in a gorgeous sauce.
The Chef's Special is a medium chicken curry in a superb sauce with an occasional sultana.
The mixed biriani is like an Indian paella! recommended.
The restaurant is at the top of Station Road, opposite the Barnet Odeon. (Cue Pearl & Dean) Tel: 020 8449 0510.
