Like I say there are just so many lot of run of the mill ones but there are some real gems, especially here in the Midlands.. Some even do specialised from certain regions of India so you get really unique dishes rather than things you'd recognise on your normal take away.

Also I know they are not Indian but look out for Nepalese Gurkhas there can be some fantastic ones.
 
The traditional "Indians" seem to be disappearing round here after taking a downward turn in quality, to be replaced by Nepalese/Gurkha-run curry houses. One recently took over my local pub and it's heaven now, tasty curries and real ale a short journey down the road :)

Can recommend these guys for curry kits, been making them for a few years

Interesting thanks for posting this
 
Just finished preparing a massamun curry for tommorow, always think it tastes better when left overnight.
We fell in love with this stuff at our local Thai restaurant, tried a couple of times now to recreate the dish, this one gonna be somewhere near i think!
 
Just done my Bombays Potatoes for tomorrows Lamb Biriani...so all set!!
 
Pity we don't get many Indonesian restaurants in the UK, I really like the food.
All to down to legacy from colonising different parts of the world!

Haha, true that. We have one thing in common though, our local cuisine is quite dull and boring.. So most exotic food comes in very handy.

If you like indonesian food, try the following cookbook (Dutch navy)
http://www.kvmo.nl/images/pdf/algemeen/indonesischkookboekselamatmakankoninklijkmarine1269977934.pdf

It's in dutch, but as it's really limited in writing so you should be able to get it right with google translate.

Some very nice dishes are;

Rendang Ayam (spiced chicken stew with coconut)
Babi Kecap (Pork stew in a soy sauce)
Babi Pangang (roasted pork)
Soto Ayam (Spiced chicken soup with cabbage and fried noodle)
Babi tjau poedak (spiced roasted pork)
Ayam paniki (spiced chicken stew-ish)

It's quite similar to the Malay kitchen. Didn't you guys own some rubber plantations there a while back?
 
Thank you Darrellm for posting that awesome site that I would have never known about
4 curry kits for £8 is amazing
 
..and my Birani was fantastic..
