    I find a good Vindaloo is actually sour and tangy rather than super chilli hot - it can get confusing if they DO add some chilli, though.

    Hey DJ! I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to curries. Can only have the mild sweet ones. Never think about having lamb in curry either. Even though it’s my favourite meat. I always have chicken. Nevertheless a nice looking starter and main dish - not that I could eat those. Your face spoke volumes again. Could tell it was OTC. Very nice relaxing video as always and the restaurant was fabulous inside. Take care 😘👍🏻

    Can't beat Indian food. I had some great Vindaloos in Goa back in November. They're weren't 'burn your mouth hot and make you prance around looking for your raita' hot. They were 'hot', definitely, don't get me wrong, but a slow, lingering heat, and it is genuinly enjoyable. The thrill of the heat sensation opening those endorfines is such a heart racing experience and such an adrenaline rush. Those Vindaloos that do nothing but burn your mouth use dried red chilli powder which burns your mouth, and that is not a good feeling and definitely not traditional Indian style!

    The thing about the beer from the American bar owner/tv personality, is purely about speed of serve and increasing profitability in busy busy bars and then your own preference when it comes to drinking lager/beer that’s carbonated!

    I live in France now and love it...but I do miss a good curry.
    I discovered an Indian restaurant 1/2 hour away and went. I asked for a vindaloo as they, not the French, eat it.
    They were worried it would be too hot but cooked it for me.
    Then they stood around watching me eat it ! 😂

    St Pancras station is a fantastic looking building, I can remember it in the late 70's before the refurb. We used a pub called the Euston Tavern close by and a KFC in the same area and if I remember right was open 24/7, a novelty for the 70's.
    The prices at the Indian Lounge are very good for London, the food itself looked excellent as well as the restaurant décor.

    Brilliant filming and music. As a rugby playing student in the North we had a tradition. First match for the first XV we had to play the game, run a mile after the match...sink four pints and eat a vindaloo...all in 40 minutes. I hate beer, cannot stand very hot food but WTF. Darren is like my dad. He could tell me every bus I needed to get from A to B in London and we lived in Yorkshire. Going to London with him was always good news as we would hit amazing restaurants, pubs, museums. We had our differences but who doesn’t?

    I can't even handle a vindaloo in New York any more, although I used to be able to. A vindaloo in London is much hotter, as I discovered about 30 years ago, so I'm not likely to try again. But I will watch the video because I like your food reviews and I've finally subscribed as well. Also I now think I owe you a watch of the video just to be sure that your head doesn't fall off. I wish I could still eat these very hot things, such as dried Sichuan peppers, but I cannot. I even pick the jalapeno bits out of dishes that come with them. I don't want to endure the reminders that come the next day.

    Hey Darren that looked like a nice place and the food and beer looked the business. Vindaloo how hot was that. I used to love that, unfortunately 15 years ago I copped for a bit of stage4 throat cancer and my mouth just can’t do spice or heat. A small price to pay. I have a local Indian restaurant near by in Massachusetts and he makes me the best very mild roganjosh or chicken tikka masala. My wife however loves hot and spicy stuff so we are all good.

    You wouldn't think a dish that was of Portuguese and Goan origins would have become so popular as a curry in Britain. Traditionally made with pork.
    A really tasty dish, although not as hot, in its traditional form it is the wine and garlic along with some heat gives it a sweet and sour element. Really enjoyed making it and the eating. Making butter chicken this weekend. 😁
