Welcome ...

... to our semi-serious guide to curry houses in the City of London. Each restaurant is marked for food quality, ambience, service, beer and VFM. This site contains restaurant reviews, photos, maps and the occasional amusing comment.

Go to the Alphabetic Listing for information about all the restaurants we have visited - see our reports,
some photos, maps and (where applicable) links to the restaurants' own websites.

Use the City Map to find a suitable restaurant in your chosen area of the City - the map shows
the location of each restaurant we have visited (and its current star rating).

Team News

Our guest this month was "Tall Tony", a friend of Richard. Remarkably, this was TT's 7th outing with us (surely a record for a guest?) [Ed. Yes!]

Unfortunately, our esteemed photographer for the evening didn't manage to get a photo of TT so I have had to delve into the CurryMarks archives for this one.

Top of the Flocks!

Here are the current leaders - the top 6 at the end of the year to be re-visited next year. (Go to the Overall Rankings to see the full table.)
