This takeaway opened in 1998 as the Riverview Tandoori, and wasn't very good in my opinion. In September 2002 it re-opened under different management as the Curry Inn and I reported a basic, bog standard formula curry, lacking flavour but marginally better than the previous incarnation.

It changed again to its current name in about May 2005. It is not linked to any other restaurant in the vicinity, although has links to one East London (unfortunately, not the Lahore Kebab House, although the friend of the front man works there as a chef, so I suppose there is some loose link!). It is a comfortable take-away, with a few tables. They tell me they considered having some tables, but now decided against it, but it does provide a spacious waiting area. It also has a few comfortable chairs, plus a good, clean toilet, which is an unusual amenity in a take-away. I am pleased to say that the food is an improvement on both predecessors. Tandoori Chicken a good, well marinated example, while the Chicken Tikka Dhansak (which includes rice) and Vegetable Bhaji were good formula curry, if slightly oily. Tarka Dall of the thicker variety, a bit like thick custard, and for my taste the poorest, but all in all a competent formula curry.

It's worth mentioning that in the Autumn of 2005 they ran an excellent value promotional offer of 25% off prices for deliveries, but a massive 50% off if it was collected. To try this out I ordered  £50 worth of curries, and collected it. Sure enough ut was only half the menu price, and the portions were the same as normal. It was all good standard stuff (except, again the Tarka Dall which I find to thick and cloying) and represented excellent value.
