Coincidentally (or is it??) two days after you posted this ecm, we got a flyer for the Shahi Manzil through the door.

They used to run the take away at Willowbrae and if they maintain the standards we experienced last night they'll soon establish a great reputation!

Are you referring to the same takeaway as ecm?

Yeah, we got one too.
Ali noticed that both the takeaway menus for the SM and the Bonoful have the same warning about management reserving the right not to serve troublemakers!

I reckon it's the same crew which is a good thing. Might try the set price lunch this week as it's offering my favourite of Chicken Tikka Korma.

Was there on Sat with Mr Poppy, Mr and Mrs Lizzie and A N Other. Very busy, and we had to go to the Glassblower [which has gone really downhill BTW] for a drink. However, the food, decor, service and free Cointreau back a Bonoful more than made up for the delay - I reckon the bus strike might have made more people stay out of up town and eat here?

I went on spec last night, just back from hols and in no mood to cook. Nicely refurbished and I thought the food was pretty good. I hadn't read Marya's post about the prawns at that stage, but my King Prawn Balti Special was well up to standard and they were also happy to cook me a dish not on the menu.

We'll certainly be back.

Excellent meal in the Bonoful tonight. It was reasonably busy for a mid week night.
Nice house wine.
Can't type anymore as i'm pissed as a fart.

We just had a (very early) dinner in Bonoful, and I have to say it was brilliant. The food was excellent and I couldn't fault the service, even to running round to our house to bring the food we'd forgotten to bring home! We will definitely go back.

Yeah, we've had 2 or 3 take aways now and sat in once. The food is very good.

It always looks fairly busy anytime I go past. I think it's going to do very well.

I tried the Domethong in Northfield Broadway (both sitting in) and takeaway and was very pleased both times. Rose and I are Chinese fans and she is a complete convert to Thai now. Its very nice and looks and tastes a lot more real than Chinese.
