Eat in Mela, take out/delivery Jack Spice are my current recommendations. Mela for me is unbeatable in Swindon although it's not the cheapest.

Eaten in Mela a couple of times, it's a little dearer but definitely worth it

I've been making myself curries a lot recently from scratch.
Very pleased with the results and you can tailor the spice and heat to your liking.

I use this recipe as a base, and add a bit more chilli, a bit of tomato puree for richness and a squeeze of honey for a bit of sweet. It's delicious.

Why was it mean? Did you not put any chicken in it?  Grin

I know it's not exactly Swindon but the Gulshan Brasserie in Shrivenham is probably the best of them all INMHO

Got takeout from Khyber and was spot on. Really good.

My 15yr old nephew is at the "too big for his boots" stage and was saying how he can take spicy food, so i told him we'd share a vindaloo. I said share because i'd never had one either and whilst it was really fucking hot, it was really nice but probably at the very top of my heat threshold. My nephew managed 2 bites and tapped out. That'll teach him!

Just made the jalfrezi recipe above, but added six birdseye chillies.
Was delicious, and fucking spicy!

I love spicy food, but it gives me hiccups, which is annoying.

This is my go to curry recipe... it takes a while, but it's bloody good:  http://www.curryfrenzy.com/curry/recipes/Lamb-Tikka-Dhansak.html

I live in Reading - there is an amazing Hyderabadi restaurant in town that has reverted to vacuum packed local home deliveries over the past few months - they are starting nationwide deliveries very soon - highly recommended.  https://www.clayskitchen.co.uk/

1. No "my boy" of your own then? Unlike some on here.

2. Getting one over on a teenage lad is really big. Or maybe you are a teenager yourself? Please advise.

3. I hope that on a Mumbai City forum there is a thread about take-away food where people are bigging up how good their egg, chips & beans recipes are.

1. What business is it of yours whether Chubbs has a child or not?

2. It's his nephew, there is some context. It's not like he's smashed the face in of some random kid on the street. The second part; incredibly rich, coming from yourself.

3. There likely is. But it is mostly a discussion regarding the best way to cook Potato Waffles and Smiley Faces.

Remember, don;t feed the troll, not even really spicey curry.

Although point 3 did make me smile as it reminded me of Goodness Gracious Me and going out for an English, I hope that was the point.  Vindaloo is English anyway.
