SCOTTISH INDIAN FOOD LOVERS UNITE!!! We almost bypassed this place til we seen ‘Scottish hoggies’… and we were intrigued. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!! Not only were lally and dolly (the owners-who once lived in Renfrew) the most delightful and passionate people iv ever met about their food.. cooked freshly in the shop and ready to plate… but the fooooood!!!! Chefs kiss x100! After chatting to the guys about how we missed Scottish pakora- we decided on the munch box that had mushroom (insane) chicken(off its chops) and veg(wtf!! Great) it also included onion rings/chips etc… price was very good value and let me tell you… they include the all famous, ‘pink sauce’/‘spicy sauce’/‘spicy onion’ omg… this is everything I wanted in oz.. did not disappoint! also. We had irn bru.. listen, iv not got a baby- but I imagine how taking your first child home from the hospital would feel… and this was my feeling taking this munch box home in the uber….. it was everything I wanted and more- THAT great! Lally and dolly… only missing thing was the tiny cabbage salad on the side to allow me to pretend to be the healthiest human alive and you guys would’ve nailed it… Cannot wait to go back! It’s...
Read moreA Hidden Gem for Late-Night Cravings – The Best Chicken Tikka Kebab Around If you're a fan of Indian-style kebabs, you have to try this place. I've had my fair share of chicken tikka over the years, but this one has genuinely become my go-to. What makes it stand out isn’t just the perfectly marinated, tender chicken or the char from the grill – though both are spot-on – it’s the clear care and passion that goes into every part of the meal. The owner, who also happens to be the chef, handcrafts everything himself. I’m talking about the crispy, warm naan bread (which is miles better than anything store-bought), and his oven-roasted garlic sauce? Unbelievable.

What also makes this place such a lifesaver is how late it’s open – six days a week until 4am. Whether it’s after a night out, a long shift, or just a midnight craving, it’s the kind of comfort food that never disappoints. It’s not flashy or overhyped – just consistently delicious, homemade food made by someone who clearly loves what they do. Can't...
Read moreIn 2017, a blessed year, I found myself in City Kabob and Curry House in Washington DC. A kebab but it's wrapped in naan, and it's got curry sauce in it? Americans are right to think the world revolves around them. For eight long years then I knew that for all its Opal and Gladys and bubble tea, I wasn't living in a real city. What's a city without curry kebabs? A world class transit system shuffling around empty souls, deluding themselves that the void in their hearts can be filled with 'community', or 'bouldering', or 'pints for schooners'. What we needed was onion bhaji, doused in makhani, wrapped in a big old naan. Now we've got it. Thank you Urban Daddy, I've never felt so...
