Glossy recommends the Pav Bhaji at £6.95, an Indian classic consisting of a thick, spicy vegetable curry served with a soft muffin. The Gobi 65, deep-fried cauliflower flavoured with curry leaves and homemade spices, is £6.95.
The ‘staff’ curry features succulent chunks of tender lamb in a thick traditional gravy, fabulous with rice or naan. This is what the kitchen team eat so it’s got to be good! And at £10.99, it’s a steal.
Another must-try is the chicken Kolhapuri at £11.95, originating from the city of Kolhapur in Maharashtra, with tender chicken breast pieces in a thick, spiced gravy, which is best served with a garlic and chilli naan, just £2.95. With a decent selection of wines, and Cobra for under a fiver a pint,
Chef Platters offers excellent value for money.
