Bombay Flavours — Restaurant in England

Macc’s latest Indian restaurant, but one of the more interesting ones offering ‘Indo Chinese’ dishes. The restaurant is situated on Chester road in what used to be Frenjabi - in fact the decor and dining furniture has remained exactly the same.

We were walk-ins early Saturday evening and it was good to see they already had tables occupied. Stale poppadoms did not provide the best first impression though.

The starters were good (okra chips were very tasty, and the seekh kebab also), and we both found our main courses to be excellent (sag prawn and chicken Madras).
