    One of my most favourite places you did the Intro - Balcon de Mediterraneo, it's wonderful around there isn't it. That's the thing about Beni, especially Old Town, loads of places to explore, find and enjoy - an amazing place, not even scratched the surface yet haha.
    You were walking near Cafe India and it's where we cut through to the Prom and decide which way we are gonna go, I love that prom. Supposed changes are being planned with Benidorm Council to improve the Promenade (beginning with lighting) and other things happening over the long term.
    Curry Leaf - Favoured drink - Cobra Lager, a major love I have are those pot warmers with the candle underneath, they are dinky and ace Lee. The dishes looked incredible, vibrant colours, well presented and looked so delicious, I may have to add this venue on our next visit, thanks for sharing Lee, take care pal.

    Recommendation time. For a Sunday lunch that’s fabulous go to the Admiral Nelson in Braunston Northants. You’ll need to book. As boaters we’ve had many lunches around the canal system & this is the best. Choose the Admirals Roast. Let us know when you’re going & will give you a trip on our boat.

    Love Cobra beers. I also love a good fiery curry like chicken vindaloo or beef madras. I’ve had Phail in the past and it blew my head off. Tesco do a very good chicken Tikka Masala believe it or not, in the chilled cabinet section. That one looked pretty cracking Lee, a nice place indeed. It’s always nice to get a decent curry in a restaurant. Nice vlog👌

    Another cool vlog lee and I too am a bit Samey samey when I go for an Indian which is defo the poppadoms and pickles and defo keep the pickles for later something my old dad always does and he is from India by the way and for main always a mixed Biryani dry cause I hate the sauce which goes against my old dad as he always likes it drowning in sauces but yeah not one for sharing either but I guess that’s personal preference but great vlog nonetheless 😊😊😊

It’s called Chasni and it’s normally a Chicken Chasni that is a curry with a kind of sweet & sour sauce. It’s absolutely lovely. You should try and do this next time you decide to visit Scotland.

    Love your coverage of Benidorm ...I was surprised at the cost of your meal,, sorry to say the cost of that meal would have fed me & my son for a week. We all want the best of things. But not a realistic average price. Maybe pass on starter / nan / couple of pints ect..plus you had 2mains, so in all it would reduce in price xx

    I know you’re busy enough editing and making videos, but could you maybe make a list for the top 5/10 Tikka Masalas that you’ve had and see if the future Masalas knock the others off the list? And maybe show the list at the end of every Vid x

    I am with you 100% Lee. If i ordered a meal in a restaurant it is because that is what i want to eat. Why should you have to share. Only exception is if we had a Chinese banquet where we would probably order three different dishes ( for two of us ) and have some of each.

  • @Eric_G65

    On a date, I don't mind sharing but when looking at the menu, we pick out dishes we both would like to try. If we're not sharing, I still allow my date to taste what I have ordered. Food looked fantastic, funny how many great restaurants they have down there.

    @richardgetlevog3123 8 місяців тому

    Lovely looking food there buddy. Onion Bhaji looked amazing. Always my go to starter. Masala looked great. Bhuna looked lovely too. Only thing I'm confused about is why was the Bhuna spicy? I've had many a Bhuna over the last 20-30 years and they shouldn't be that much spicier than a masala. They're normally a mild dish so a bit on the confused by that to be honest mate.
    As for the beer, I love both Cobra and Kingfisher but given the choice, I'll always go with Cobra. It's just got a slightly more crisp and refreshing taste to it. 9.5/10 for me Lee and thanks for the video👍🙂

  • @lyndontaylor4440

I never share my food I've ordered it and I'm eating g it but normally just me and the mrs and she always has a Korma and I dont like creamy foods of any sort and its Kingfisher for me cos my local in Retford always gives me a free pint if I'm popping in for a takeaway.

  • @rhodaborrocks1654
    @rhodaborrocks1654 9 місяців тому +1

    That food looked really good. I would usually go straight for a vindaloo myself, or a phaal if available but that's not for everybody and I would never advise anybody to try stuff like that unless they know what they're letting themselves in for. The thing with curry restaurants is there's usually something for everyone and it's always fun to go with a group, and while the basic dishes are similar from restaurant to restaurant the flavours are often quite different, and that keeps it interesting, and if you go home with a doggie bag, it's always as nice or even better the next day. My favourite dish of all time though would be a plate of peri-peri prawns with rice and a green salad, and I never worry about those beady little black eyes, they're not looking back at me, they're trying to figure out where you are Lee 😆

    For me Lee, I’d go poppadoms and chutneys, then Prawn Puri, then Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi or Korai or Madras or Rogon, Sag Bhaji and Mushroom Pilau. Garlic Naan on the side. Beautiful. If restaurant is in the habit of doing Lamb well then Lamb Tikka is awesome.
