althegeordie's restaurant reviews
Part 1 in a series I may add too when I eat in a restaurant.

The Needoo Grill New Road, That there London (Near Aldgate Tube)

This place was recommended to me by none other than our very own Monty Boyce as it is run by the former manager of the New Tayyabs, which is a very fine restaurant just round the corner.

The problem with the Tayyabs is it gets incredibly busy, I took some other b3tans there and we queued for two hours to get a table, it was worth it, but still, that's two hours of standing drinking beer out of cans while waiting to sit down. In comparison at Needoo Grill when me and the mrs turned up at about 7.30pm, the place was full, mainly with one very large birthday party, but we were the first in the line and waited about ten minutes to get a seat. In comparison, the queue for the Tayyabs at this time was almost out of the door as we walked past.

The food is the important bit though and the seek kebabs were just as good as Tayyabs, and the chicken tikka I think was better, but the mrs disagreed. So I gave her a good talking to and then after she had some ice on her jaw she agreed with me. The lamb chops, the highlight of any visit to the Tayyabs, were okay. They were tasty, and spicy, but just not as good as round the corner. The sauces though, were much better than the Tayyabs, the mango chutney was the same as anywhere else in London, but the yoghurt and mint sauce had far more chilli in that the Tayyabs equivalent, and the spicy tomato sauce was more flavoursome than the Tayyabs.

On to mains, the Dry Meat was fantastic, easily as good as Tayyabs, if not better. Not too spicy, but just gorgeous. The Karai Chicken was also very nice, with the chicken being very tender.

All in all we spent £23 in total on food, which makes it laughably good value, and the service was super quick.

The following day I did regret scarfing as much yoghurt sauce as I suffered a serious double burner, but it was so worth it.

So in conclusion: If you love the Tayyabs but can't be bothered to queue for all that time, try this place, it's almost as good (and in some ways a bit better, but the atmosphere isn't as mental as the Tayyabs). If you've never been to the Tayyabs, go and try it, but if you're too lazy to walk the extra 50 yards round the corner, you could do far far worse than eat here.

All in all 8/10.

What about the decor?
I like lots of deep red and gold colours in an Indian restaurant and some modern Indian music tinkling in the background but no singing. My favorite local Indian has a huge flat screen TV to watch when the person I'm sitting with starts to bore me.

Were the poppodums nice and crisp?

Did you get free sweets?

These are far more important things to think about.

It was very nicely painted and with a wooden floor
and to be honest I didn't really look at the decor, I was more interested in getting lots of spicy meat down my throat.




Just like you.




Only I was in a restaurant and not hanging out by the docks.

OH YES HE WENT THERE!
