Indian Fast Food - Gloucester Road

-
Mus uni non fidit antro. The mouse does not rely upon just one hole. And so we embark upon out curryous journey through the warrens of Bristol's Indian indulgences. Our first foray witnessed our footsteps alighting upon the doormat of a curry house apltly named... Indian Fast Food. High hopes we had not, but our curiosities were piqued by Patrick's inquisitive investigations into online reviews. Upon stepping over the hearth the welcoming we received was warm and the smiles genuine throughout the course of our stay. Immediate impressions of ambience were that of a clean, wholesome, dining restaurant utterly prepared for the casual diner. However, lay yon eyes upon the surroundings for a few moments longer and one may begin to tune in to the signs of a curry house willing to embrace a deeper level of inebriated clientele.

Location: Indian Fast Food. Google rating at time of writing: 4.6 BYOB: Yes Mood: Excited to embark on the quest of a lifetime. Attendees: Peter Gil, Will Kemsley and myself (Patrick Littlewood) Ambience: Just a few other diners initially. Picked up later in the evening: 7/10 Decor: Classic. Pleather. Metal. No wood carvings in sight.  Bit trashy, like myself, but no pretensions:  7/10 Starters: 4 Poppadoms, fresh: 8/10                Bhajis - Dry : 5/10 Service: Polite but relaxed. Main: Tilapia Jalfrezy (which Peter Gil shamelessly copied).  Spicy and remarkable: 9/10           Garlic Naan & Pilau Rice both very good: 8/10 Conclusion:  For me, this was your classic Indian restaurant.  Down to earth, good service, excellent food.  Peter and Will were on good form. The perfect storm.  I'll be very happy if the next meal lives up to this. Overall Score: 8.5/10.

The inaugural visit, the first step on our journey to greatness, Indian Fast Food. With summer drawing to a close and the evenings getting ever-shorter, it seems fitting to rekindle the annual tradition of sculpting a totally sweet winter bod. With that in mind, we made our way to one of Gloucester Road's many restaurants, and birthed the brain-child of Curryous George: A tale of adventure, intrigue and gluttony . Indian Fast Food isn't located in the most stand-out place; nestled between Asian Spicy and Oh! Calcutta it has tough competition right out of the gate. With a google rating of 4.6 (at the time of writing) it's enough to catch out eye, and the not-quite-shutdown-able decor is just captivating enough to draw us through the door and onto the red, pleather bench seats. The staff are friendly and welcoming, albeit with a relaxed sense of urgency, but as it's a BYOB restaurant there's no need to take a drinks order and we're soon underway. P...
