I like to have some knowledge of a cuisine before venturing an opinion. To compare this outstanding restaurant to the grotesquely overrated Tayyabs is ludicrous. It is quite expensive for Indian food but absurdly reasonable for the standard and intricacy of cooking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-16854899736078696882010-11-22T19:05:41.432+00:002010-11-22T19:05:41.432+00:00The Brilliant serves the very best Indian food, I ...The Brilliant serves the very best Indian food, I am Indian and trust me this is as authentic as it gets.

I thought the whole point of going to Southall was for an authentic meal and not an exorbitant price. <br /><br />I would also like to say that Delhi Grill in Islington is the bees knees and very reasonable too. I would disagree with @Greedy Diva and @Kaveyf as I thought the lamb chops there a much better option than Tayyabs.

We are always comparing everything to you know where I suppose but then of course we are, it's brilliant. That chicken tikka sounds rough and I don't know why places bother with that food colouring either, turmeric does the job well enough.Helenhttp://www.helengraves.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-70862355241888069232010-10-18T15:02:01.417+00:002010-10-18T15:02:01.417+00:00No restaurant named so arrogantly will ever live u...No restaurant named so arrogantly will ever live up to expectations...

I have ended up in the rather sad position of having to go to Birmingham every time I want a shockingly good curry. Tayyabs is good for the grill and all, and I did love what I saw of Delhi Grill too, but seriously, when are you going to take the trip to the Midlands with me?<br /><br />Or, if you do fancy DG, let me know - it's just up the road from me.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617365453508369118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-44010607582984731652010-10-18T14:38:20.388+00:002010-10-18T14:38:20.388+00:00LuckyLuckyJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617365453508369118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-66232144501727445432010-10-18T13:25:13.241+00:002010-10-18T13:25:13.241+00:00Glad to hear I am not missing out overly by contin...Glad to hear I am not missing out overly by continuing to eat in Central London and not going on a massive journey across town to Southall!Michelle @ RoastedMontreal.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09129676740222838607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-87360935791124769572010-10-18T12:26:46.006+00:002010-10-18T12:26:46.006+00:00I'd heard good things about the Brilliant, eve...I'd heard good things about the Brilliant, even from Indians as well.

More if you guzzle a lot of beer but otherwise really well priced. There's a review on my blog of the first visit, not of the second. What I love about their food is that it genuinely tastes like my ma's. High praise indeed.Kaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662875905365870280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-20387474913690722752010-10-18T11:40:04.258+00:002010-10-18T11:40:04.258+00:00So funny, Chris - I travel from central London to ...So funny, Chris - I travel from central London to that "godforsaken place called Brentford" for work every day! Glad someone else now feels my pain. I had some great chicken tikka at Delhi Grill (Islington) this week although I don't think you'd find the lamb chops a match for Tayyabs.Greedy Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114726748321671965noreply@blogger.com
