Most of them are bad in taste, super expensive and more than often prepared and owned by Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. I had worst experiences at such restaurants, both in terms of taste and value for money. Very few restaurants I visited are good, owned by Indians and somehow manage to retain the taste to an extent. Others are nothing home to write about unless its a decent upscale restaurant which charges a bomb. Also just wanted to point out that Mike ate at Bombay brasserie owned by the Taj Hotel group so I am sure this one is very good 💗 Hope to eat there someday.

Hey Mike ... Come 'on with exaggerating your cost to us viewers, because your math is a whole lot off. You ordered the 'Mayfair Classic' which is £22.50 GBP. You say it's cost you $16 USD, when in actuality, that is $27.55 USD after conversion. The GBP is still stronger than our USD (24/09/2023). The Indian Buffet did look amazing though ...
@CuteTP Жыл бұрын
Apart from Mayfair Chippy, I wouldn't recommend any of these tourist trap ones Mike went. There are a few nice spots in Southwark, North London, and SE London/Kent areas (like Golden Chippy you tried in Greenwich). Always have it with Salt and Vinegar, accompanied with Curry and Mushy peas if possible, PLUS battered sausage (not saveloy) Mike. Interestingly (maybe controversial), I do find Turkish and Chinese do some of the best fish and chips around. Some of the best places are at the seaside, especially in the South of England.

Fish and chips are always best by the sea or ocean. I love vinegar but also lemon juice on fish. My relations loved curry sauce with their chips. I found this quite funny first time we visited them. You wont find curry sauce or mushy peas at fish and chip shops in Australia but tartar sauce and gravy are offered along side salt and vinegar and lemon. Mushy peas are definitely an acquired taste.
