If you like Ska, R&B,
Punk; anything punchy (spicy) or different and you like your Indian’s the same way…
then you aren’t going to like the Stock, Aitken and Waterman of Indian
restaurants… “And the bland played on”
Hornsea is a one horse or
more accurately a one Indian restaurant town (there is a take-away, which a couple of the locals inform me is better than the eat in
restaurant)… and it shows!
I’ve had spicier Pot
Noodles!
Special Mixed Kebab £3.50
(Seekh Kebab, Chicken Tikka, Lamb Kebab)
The Seekh Kebab had been
made from scratch but was spiceless. The lamb and chicken meat in the Tikka were
both of excellent quality but again, were lacking in any spicing.
Chicken Rogan Josh (£6.50)
– I asked for this dish to be served medium Madras hot, in the hope that a half
decent dish be presented. Alas, even requesting for it to be made in this way
added nothing to the dish. The meal was so bland, that I ate the starters and
main course without even taking one sip from the glass of water that was
presented once I’d started my main dish.
The Naan (£1.95) was quite
good, though a little small.
The Pilau Rice (£2.50) was
ok, but over priced.
If you are holidaying on
the East coast and fancy an Indian, then I’d try elsewhere.
If you live in Hornsea and
want an Indian, then it may be worth the drive to Bridlington or Hull?
I dined at the Bengal
Lancer at Withernsea two days after I had written this review, a restaurant
that I’d recommend to anyone.
Maybe a name change to… Sonali Spiceless is required!
