<![CDATA[Greater London - Islington - Archway - Eating, Drinking and Nightlife - Indian Restaurants - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Can't Stand The Heat? http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/archway/indian-restaurants/red-rose-tandoori-n194dj.html#r13401 The alarm bells should have started ringing when I first saw both The Darkness and Anthony Worrall Thompson on the leaflet pushed through my door but still I ordered a Chicken Jalfrezi....

I was expecting something that should have blown my head off but unfortunately ended up with a bland concoction that couldn't have blown it's way out of a paper bag.

I don't want to be negative but for this fact alone I won't be using this place again - sorry.

I ordered a set veggie menu - all classic Anglo Indian stuff - Onion Bhaji, Mushroom Rice and a Veg Jalfrezi - for a tenner! There was way too much food, enough for two, and they serve Cobra and Kingfisher lager, although it tasted a bit like the first pint out of the barrel (I was first in on a weekday evening, having just moved to the area). There was a bit too much fat floating about for my liking, and I don't mean the waiter, who was friendly, polite and a bit of a geezer. And best of all, it's two minutes walk from my house. Very small, but doesn't seem to get busy. No parking either, apart from on the side streets off Archway. But a great place to grab a takeaway. They deliver too. Pop in for a popadum today

It's a nice little curry house and its reasonably priced. Of course this Darkness advertising helps pull in the crowds on the weekend so if you do go at the last minute make sure its a weekday night. Other wise this is a nice little place to go especially considering its on Holloway Road.
