Red Peppers Restuarant & Take Away

Very impressed with Red Peppers. Im fussy when it comes to Indian food (being Indian, I know what to expect), most Indian restaurant serve pretty much the same dishes, theyre either too oily or the lamb/chicken is ridiculously massive and overcooked! But, everything from here was bang on! 2*Popadoms came with the order for free (which usually you have to pay extra for on takeout). I had the meat samosa to start - was very impressed, the pastry was nice & crispy but the meat I wasnt expecting the spice as theyre normally not spicy, but it was a nice spice and not too overpowering (I guess these are brought in and not made on site?). I then had the Balti garlic achari with mushrooms (similar dish Ive had before, everything else on the menu seems the same as other restaurants but Im sure the chef(s) offer their own twist). Once again very impressed with this dish, started off having less than half to start off with as I noticed the pieces of chicken and lamb were quite big (I prefer bite size pieces, so had to cut them down so it would fit in my naan), but it was very moreish and had the rest of it! Could taste a few bits of pickle in it and the occasional chunk of garlic. The sauce it was cooked in was very nice and cleaned up with the remaining naan bread & fries. Had a garlic naan bread as well, theres some hint of sugar in it, which is annoying and unexpected. Mint yoghurt & chilli sauce were provided and both of these are very nice, yoghurt mint was a nice consistency and moreish, whereas the chilli one had a nice kick to it. Fries were hot when they arrived, however had some bits that tasted like it was over cooked or from the old batch of previously cooked chips. Overall, will be ordering again and hopefully visit to eat in. Highly recommended. Only took a picture of the starters, should have taken a pic of the mains, but trust me it was bang on.
