Review of Masala Zone

Hectic zone 
I went here last night with five friends because it can be quite daunting to try and find a good and at the same time reasonably priced curry in town. Turns out Masala Zone is the perfect solution to this problem.
The grand thalis on the silver platter come with rice and chapattis, two veg dishes, dhal, indian salad, rhaita, an indian canape and a curry of your choice from the main menu.
The only reason I am not rating this restaurant with another star was the service. One of our friends was a little late and we had ordered some wine and told our waitress that we would be waiting until she arrived to order food.
In the end we did order without her, only after having at least five different waiters ask us whether we wanted to order and, yes, five times we had to literally fend them off.
At one stage we counted no less than 14 staff runing around like headless chickens when one probably only would have needed half that.
However, the food was gorgeous and very very reasonably priced. If are looking for a quiet night out don't go here as it's loud and a little chaotic but after a few glasses of wine you'll probably not notice anymore.

Review of Maida Vale Tandoori Restaurant

Best curry in the West 
I lived just down the road from this Tandoori for about seven years and miss it dearly. All I can say is, thanks god I still live in their delivery area now.
Fay Maschler (remember the Evening Standard restaurant critic?) once was taken here by her cabbie (in about 1998 or something) and her very favourable review is still gracing the front of the take-away menu today.
But anyway, make your own mind up when you're in the area. Go there after having been to the pub at the weekend (they are open until about 2am :)) or just for normal dinner.
Chilli Chicken Bayang is my current favourite but the Saag Goscht is the one I will always always default to after a while. Yum!
