the nearest place serving good food to london is birmingham! good food is generally known as kashmiri cuisine
kashmiri cuisine in birmingham??? you sure??? I havn't seen any kashmiri restaurants in birmingham, theyre all mirpuri who serve the same punjabi food as other pakistani places but just label it 'kashmiri cuisine' :/
If there are REAL kashmiri cuisine restaurants in birmingham, would be nice if you could tel us where. :)
Someone posted a link for Benares...i went there last month. Although its expensive, the food is excellent and atmosphere is amazing. The food is prepared by Atol who has won a michelin(sp) star.
Another really really fantastic restaurant is Cafe Lazeez. They have a branch in Soho. They have one in South Kensington but undergoing refurbishment.
These 2 are not your typical desi restaurant but modern and classy where you might have to make an effort to dress up esp with benares! You wont regret it! Food is delicious!
We went to Bundo Khan i East Aldgate this week when we were in london and we felt like we have become Budhu...it was disgusting food! But the service was quick!
the best one in the east end is Tayyabs, nearest tube station is whitechapel. go there very often with uni mates. if you do go there try their mango lassi
but be advised to book ahead. if you dont you will be queuing there for about 2- 3 hours, seriously. when u call, speak urdu, they for some reason, tend to give u room more quickly, lol.
Try Lahori 2 that's a really good restaurant on Commercial Road, Whitechapel. If you go to Tooting in South West London try Dawats or Spice Village, both of these are very good. Dawat is very reasonable. In West London (Southall to be exact) go to Gifto or Mirch Masala, both very good food.
does it have to be london, i dont know any, but when were talking mcr, forget just a cuisine, weve got wimslow road, full of very good cuisines/restaurants. i have to say NAWAAB restaurant is very good, in longsight :D
