    Perhaps they've been kept in their original state for posterity.

    and you take your own booze, which families/parties do by the boat load.

    Shimla's ok, not a patch on Kiplings curry wise. The decor is better at Shimla but the service isn't. Kiplings every time for me - cracker barrel next door, food, service and cost far outways Shimla. Shimla win on the decor.

    I've never been to the other 3 you mention is Shipley as they look like a place that you'd be ill for a few days after eating.

    Bibi's is massively overrated too, never been impressed by the place. I think, like Shimla, the decor, the 'ambience' does nothing for me. Too shiny, big and loud.

    It is worth buying the Prashad cook book. I have made quite a few recipes from it and all I have tried work really well. I think it is definitely worth ordering a la carte and not the tasting menu.
    Last time I was there Marcelo Bielsa was dining along with lots of men in suits. He was the scruffy one.

    " Ultimate Dining", very funny! I would open a CLEAN basic place and trade on it's name. Especially as the Karachi & Kashmir are now just taking the piss.

    That's fine, but Kipling's? It's decor is just plain weird, what was it before?

    Bibis competes against umpteen Italians in Leeds but is successful because its glitzy, the food would have to be b.a.d for you to not enjoy your night out. Same, on far lower level, is Shipley Shimla.

    You can take as much if your own booze to many places, but unless the place lends itself to "night out", it's not a USP.

    Why does it win "Every time" over the Kebabeesh and B&B?

    Better food, in my opinion, and service second to none.

    Make a point not to order fish & chips etc out here. As they're a letdown. Forgot my rule last night and I decided to order pie and chips. Miserable. No gravy. The content was watery. $17 for the privilege.

    Gravy with fish and chips? Sorry i'm not having that. Fish with gravy? Should be a criminal offence.

    Apologies. I meant no gravy with the pie and chips. I would never get gravy at the chippy. I am partial to curry sauce though, lovely stuff.
