Reasonable Indian food

Only in Newcastle could this happen! We went to this Indian restaurant on a Sunday evening after a match, and as the waiter showed us to our table for two he asked not if this one would do, or could he take our coats, but, “What was the final score, sir?”Anyway, to the meal, which was pretty standard Indian fare. We started with a couple of popadums, which I followed with a tasty starter of Chicken Chat Masala (shredded spicy chicken served with mini half-moon shaped puree breads) and then a main of prawn palak (cooked with spinach in a medium spicy sauce) with pilau rice. Chris started with a selection of pakoras and followed with chicken madras. We also shared a mushroom bhaji, and had a beer each, and paid £35 (not including service). There is an early evening special for £9.95, which offers a choice of starter and main course, plus vanilla ice cream for dessert - Chris's choices came from that menu, though he skipped the ice cream, which helped to keep the prices down. The décor is simple and, like the food, reasonable without being exciting in any way.
