For many months now I have been ignoring the hysterical conspiracy

However, as of this evening, I am now a believer �?? The Shanaz is
better than The Spice Merchant.
There, I�??ve said it.

Had an awful takeaway from the Shannaz last night. Full of gristle and other inedible things.

I tried a curry from the Ganges in Ringmer for the first time last week. Worth a try - and they deliver too.

To Lewes all the way from Ringmer how much for delivery?

Why is there such a discrepancy between the quality of a meal at either Shanaz or Spice Merchant with the quality of a "delivery" from these establishments?
Should not a delivery version of one's favourite meal bear at least some resemblance to what one would expect at the restaurants themselves?
I've enjoyed only a small percentage of the meals I've had from the aforementioned places - and yet still look forward to the next time...

I think delivery is free from The Ganges for over a £15 order. I like the Shanaz, Spice Merchant (favourite) and Chaulas, but I was over there at the time and many people do like the Ganges too. The Veggie Pathia, Chicken Tikka Korma, Bombay Aloo and Mushroom Rice was very good. (Getting hungry writing about it). They'll make anything up if you ask.

We have ordered twice from SM - BOTH times they completely messed up the order and we ended up famished after waiting another hour for the correct order to appear.
Shanaz is always good value and decent curries. I hear good reports of Chualas.

Been in the Shanaz and SM very recently, SM is still slightly better in my opinion, but everyone taste buds are different! Very tempted to try the Ganges again, the last one from there was amazing... but it was about 5 years ago.

if they do not have at least a 4 star environmental health rating on the premises, do not use. I deal with a large number of takeaways, pizza, kebab, india, Asian, Chinese, chicken, etc and have done since the mid 70's in a lot of cases standards are not any better now, and the environmental people in the local council accept much lower standards now.
