After a potter around Lordship Lane on Saturday, both the bf and I fancied a curry (ever the Valentine's romantic). Having tried one of the underwhelming curry houses on LL a while back, we decided we'd rather head somewhere closer to home to try somewhere new. Two options nearer to home, both unvisited by us till now were Elachi and Dewanian on what I shall refer to as Topp Tiles Corner. Within easy walking distance, we walked past both and chose the Dewaniam based on the greater number of seated patrons at the time.
Quite an old fashioned curry house in terms of decor, with an astonishing arch fish tank to keep the kids amused, the really pleasant surprise was the food - and actually the menu.
We shared a chicken jalfrezi, a sag aloo and a wonderful venison curry. The menu includes game, trout as well as the venison. The cooking is assured and really flavoursome. The venison may not have been as pretty as something at Babur's but blimey it tasted good.
Having driven past so many times in the last 2 years, I'm really glad we tried it. We will try Elachi soon, but we will definitely return to Dewanian. (Though possibly not for the Elvis impersonator night next month...)
