    If anyone is looking for a cheap alternative, Asda have their own Indian food brand called Bom Bahia and it’s banging. Their black dal is incredible.
    Their Goan-inspired king prawn curry is excellent

    Standard affair: Bengal Lancer in Chislehurst
    Something different: Indian Essence by Atul Kochhar in Petts wood, gets booked up well in advance though.
    Rumour has it that if you phone for the police in Bradford they send out a Troop of The Bengal Lancers.

    Gurka Kitchen in Bexhill was excellent when myself and @jimmymelrose sampled its delights a couple of weeks ago.

    Mamaris probably the best mate, or Mega Bite on Westmount

    Charlton lost, I got the wooden spoon in my 1st golf society day & I'm having a cheap asda meal for my Saturday night dinner rather than a takeaway curry. Saturdays don't get much better than this.

    Will report back shortly to give my verdict on Bom Bahia.

    Goan style risotto with prawns.

    The bottom one is Ghee roast pork rib.

    Very very nice. We got the Goan one and the butter chicken with the gunpowder potatoes and rice. Lovely and a bargain for a tenner.

    Definitely the Cafe Eltham. I'm in there now and I confidently say after 12 years of eating there it is the best around.  Have recently been in the Shampan, Cinnamon Culture, Indian Essence, Royal Parade indian, some I can't remember atm and Cafe Eltham in my opinion is still the favourite.

    So we went to the Star in the end. It was about 80% full most of the time we were there. Staff were efficient and pleasant. They had London Pride available. We thought the mains were pretty good, but lacking recent local experience I underestimated how hot the Fish Jalfrezi would be. I would say the chillies  over-powered everything else. Sister had a dhansak, BIL a balti (wish I’d gone for that). Overall I’d hoped for something a bit more out of the ordinary in the mains menu. If Mr and Mrs @Baldybonce opened an Indian we’d be there in a heartbeat. But if you just want recipes you know, the Star does everything pretty well.

    BTW, the menu card tells you it has been there since 1969, and that it offers “Bangladeshi and Indian food”.

    Afterwards it was an easy hop to the Long Pond, Mike (@Riviera) was in running the show, so we had a good chat. He seems happy with how the pub is doing even though I was surprised how empty it was. He said Covid up-ended all the old patterns of going out and midweek 17-20h are now his busy times.

    Just looked it up, does it not have a drinks license? Doesnt seem to list any booze on the menu.
