Indian food in Stafford
- Thread starter Attaboy!
- Start date
We went in the other night and 'as we're regulars' they let us have the special offer of 4 courses for £10.95 which really brought the prices down. (I wouldn't call four visits in two years regular but who am I to complain?)
Poppadoms, starter, main and rice or a naan in there, so the bloke and I shared a rice and naan between us. The only restriction was that any fish or prawn meal added £4 to the overall bill but apart from that we had the choice of the menu- some of the mains alone cost as much as the entire deal.
I don't know if it's an offer they do for everyone, I don't recall seeing it advertised, but it's things like that and the fact that they always know us that makes me love the place.

I had a takeaway from Shuma Balti on Common Road last night. It's been a couple of years since I last went there, but I was really disappointed. Has anyone had good experiences recently, was it just a one off? Unfortunately there isn't really another takeaway in walking distance at my end of town...
Just been to Karma. Excellent!! Having eaten in all indian restaurants in Stafford and having lived in Southall down south amongst Asians, I can say that these guys know what they are doing. For me this is the one everytime I want to eat Asian food now. Brilliant! You must pay a visit to decide foryourselves. Thank you ShmayJay.ShmayJay said:

Excellent, will def give them a go.
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!Pie & Ale said:
I just know so many people who either don't know Karma is there or know but have never bothered to go that I thought it was time to spread the word.
I also realised the other day that that special offer I was on about (4 courses for £10.95) is included on a voucher they sent round with posted menus- so if anyone is planning on going, it's worth seeing if you've had a menu delivered lately that you haven't noticed.
... no, I don't work for them!

hmm, high praise indeed.. i've just booked malabar for a party of 17 for my birthday, now i'm wondering if i should have taken a chance on these karma lot!Pie & Ale said:
what's it like inside? is it suitable for a sit-down meal (e.g. like malabar) or is it just a couple of rickety chairs in a cafe (e.g. like dilshad's lol)?

Looks nice from when I've walked past, but never been in. Is there an online menu?

i get the impression from your previous post that the food is more "authentic indian" than the "brit indian" stuff we are used to.. would you say that's correct? i'm just wary about bringing such a large group there, in case some are a bit picky (i.e. me lol)..Pie & Ale said:
what are the prices like? compared to malabar, for example?
like tek, would defo be interested in an online menu.. i think i've got a paper one at home, so i'll try and remember to photograph it and upload it later if there isn't an online one..

where is karma?
ive been to malabar and i have to admit i wasnt over impressed. it was tasy and reasonably priced but honestly, my mum makes better.
this isnt to put their food down, its just my mum is the most amazing cook.

right next to the cinema.. used to be some kind of steakhouse i think, and was a mexican a few years ago.. you know, the little place right next to the alley..cookie_monster said:
completely agree.. i've never had a bad meal at malabar, certainly, but like you say the food isn't quite on par with (for example) dilshad's.. however, malabar is the only place i know that is a proper restaurant, hence me always defaulting to there for birthdays, etc! and the atmosphere is always good, i've definitely had a great time every time i've been there..cookie_monster said:
still, i'm tempted to try this karma place

there used to be a back room at what is now karma....i remember we had a hen do there many years ago so if they still have that and arent very full, they may be able to squeeze your birthday party in.

I love Malabar, but I can't help feeling its not as great as it used to be. Maybe I'm more used to it, maybe Spice Delight has taken the shine off it, I dunno. Will try Karma though, when I eventually get out for another meal. Been a while!
