omariqy Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Apologies if I have missed a previous thread. However, I went to Sushi Samba at the top of Heron Tower yesterday for the wifes birthday and I must say the food was outstanding. The two stand out dishes were El Topo Sushi (Salmon, Crispy Onions and Mozzarella) and the salmon skewers with peruvian dark choc. Flavours were amazing. What are some of your other favourite restaurants to go to? I'll do mine by location.NottinghamDesi Express in Hyson Green - innocuous looking place but amazing food. LondonTayyabs - amazing indian/pakistani grill foodWoodys Grill in Camden - again innocuous but the best chicken sheesh I have hadRoyal China - best dim sum aroundSushi Samba - has to be up there after thatBirminghamHajees - great autentic foodAl Faisals - as aboveEdit: P.s. Szeczney was sitting next to us. Big lad. Ridicolous other half. 1
legov Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Well, my local Turkish serves the largest, most incredible kebab rolls.
Seat68 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Broadway 2 and Saqibs for tasty quick eats. Bistro of Santa Monica, superb food. Great place to eat, great service.
Shillzz Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 You've got one in Brum I believe, but Bristol's San Carlo's restaurant is my favourite. Not cheap, but the fish on offer is always excellent and the menu is dictated by what's fresh and in season, rather than the other way around as it so often is.
donnie Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Chung ying in china town. Strada and dare I say it, nando's in the mailbox. Their is also a quality thai restaurant on the bottom floor of the mailbox. The thai rainbow in Lichfield. I love indian food but truthfully imo their is very little difference between a good one and a brilliant one. I can tell you many awful indian restaurants but their are too many good indian resturants to mention. Edited January 20, 2014 by donnie
omariqy Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 If you like Thai, try Busaba Eathai's Calamri. Amazing.

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Sushi Samba is decent, but a tad pretentious. The outdoor area irritates the shit out of me - why build the bar that big thus leaving less room for patrons to enjoy a drink. You spend the whole time there getting barged into every few seconds. But yeah, decent restaurant.
mjmooney Posted January 20, 2014 VT Supporter Posted January 20, 2014 Shababs on the Ladypool Road, Castle Balti in Warwick and any Nandos. Crust in Shirley is not bad. I had a go at their hot wing challenge;I'm a massive fan of chilli to the point that I have extra hot sauce with virtually every meal, but these wings were coated in a hellish inferno of chilli paste, sauce, powder and flakes that left me gasping in pain with fluid pouring from my eyes, nose and mouth. I ate one wing. It wasn't even the pain of the burn that made me stop, it was my chest constricting and my head throbbing as though a stroke was imminent. And that is "not bad" how, exactly? 1
omariqy Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Extremley pretentious but food was great. Probably helps that I love sushi.

That chilli wing challenge sounds like a place called Red Dog Saloon in which I experienced something similar. I like hot food, too, but I managed half a wing before feeling exactly how you described above. They also do something called "The Devastator" which is a Man vs Food style glutinous eating challenge.
