The Goan Pork Vindaloo currently on the Curry Leaf Cafe menu takes a lot of beating.

Bangladesh was part of India and is mostly Bengali in culture, same as they other side of the border. This line about them being Bangladeshis and not Indians is really ill informed as it implies they are somehow not authentic, based around a political border

I know a little about the area. Quite generally speaking, India is quite different from Bangladesh, with different cultures, different languages and different foods that are allowed to be eaten. Bengali regions of India are more aligned with Bangladesh in terms of identity, obviously. Bengalis do not generally identify themselves as Indian, but rather Bengalis, because that's what they are. Indian takeaway food can neither be said to be authentic Indian or Bangladeshi/Bengali. Whoever they are owned by, they do not generally serve authentic foods, so it doesn't really make any difference in that sense, irrespective of what they call themselves. This is what I was implying. It doesn't matter what your culture is if you don't serve foods authentic to that culture. Obviously the British public associate Indian takeaways with a certain kind of food, which is not Indian, so it can make sense to call yourself an Indian takeaway, even if you're not Indian.

Good to see Dhansak doing well. Just the right strength with a lovely texture. Bhuna is also a favourite although it can be a bit dry so the mango chutney goes well with it.

All of them. Depends on which way the wind is blowing...

...and whether the windows are open.

I'll eat most, saucier the better with naan. DO miss an SA mutton bunny chow in Durban but midlands balti houses, well it my staple diet now in the cold times. Why are they always SO much better to eat in. My problem is loading up on too many poppodoms though with the salad, lime, and chutney, snacking heaven
