This, with the exception that I don't dip poppadoms and with an Onion Bhaji or two to start.

Traditional Tandoori restaurant:

Popadums + sides
Lamb byriani or jalfrezi
If the latter simple plain boiled rice
Naan or Peshwari naan
Brindal Bhaji
Bhindi Bhaji
Tarka Dhaal
Saag Paneer

Bangladeshi restaurant:

all of the above but as a main i'd have Lamb Rezala

Funny thing is the best curry I ever had (apart from at Piali's house) was a Gujurati restaurant which is entirely vegetarian as they are typically the "tight" region of India and don't really eat meat either (I am joking about the "tight" it's just what the Bengali's call them).

My favourite curries are from the East or South Indian region, though strangely the Gujurat region is West - the style of cooking is so wildly different though it's fascinating.

Traditional Eastern/Southern curries include a lot of fish - and actually having tried it, it's bloody marvellous but never my first choice strangely - lamb IMO offers the best texture and flavour for a curry, though I'd have fish over chicken.

Fish and lentils are the staple for East Indians and boy they do it and do it good! Telapia and Dhal are probably the best dishes in the world - but I seldom have them in restaurants as they never seem to be quite up to muster (so far).

So just us who caved in after reading this thread?

I had chicken korma and pilau rice plus the obligatory poppadums and naan.

It was either that or go and buy BBQ stuff. Decided that curry was less hassle and a BBQ would probably end up costing as much anyway

Well i'm rather proud of myself for not ordering a curry. Man it was close

but i've decided to wait until friday.
Currently my favourite curry is the balti chicken delight from our local house. Though you can't go wrong with either a korma or dupiaza.
