In reply to mike123:
I had my first genuine curry about 30 yrs ago at a place called Saleem's in Sparkbrook Brum. It was a cafe where the local Asian population went but was also popular with students because of its value for money. I just looked it up and it is still there and gets good reviews it seems. I would be interested to know if it really is still as good as I recall. Perhaps you could check it out.
I also wonder if there is scope for a new Forum on UKC - Climbing Caffs! Apologies to JMc.
Just checked some of the reviews and one has the announcement that it will close later this year - better get there quick.
