I'm a bit new to the curry takeaway game - usually my rules are simple;
Chinese is for thrown and crown, Indian is for going to town.
Sadly, Chinese isn't an option tonight, and I don't have the mental petrol to go to a sit-down dinner. So, Indian Curry takeaway it is (Indian Curry > Chinese Curry by a country mile).
Now, usually, my sit down strategy is to make sure I order the hottest curry I can, but not too much that I make a milk delivery system of myself. The perfect blend of looking well 'ard but sensible - but, it's just me tonight and I don't have the beers at home to deal with the hot stuff.
What is a good combination of things to suit the solo customer - also, I don't mind over ordering as leftovers tomorrow is perfectly valid.
I always order the curry that I think will taste best. I like to try a few different ones when I get a chance to. Why care about eating something so hot it isn't pleasant? Who cares what other people think? (And who bothers thinking anything good or bad about anyone who eats a particularly hot - or otherwise - curry?)
If you order hot food you clearly do t understand Indian cuisine.
Perhaps a highly spiced piece of dog or some Mexican stuff would suit you
This confirms my suspicion that if I order hot food I have a deep understanding on Indian Cuisine - As for Mexican food - one of the nicest you can find, if you have the capacity to ignore tex mex.
Lamb Jeera (not him) if they do it or Karahi A daal side of your spice choice Garlic Naan (never a Peshwari you're a grown man I assume) Rice of your choice Saag Paneer
This gives you decent levels of textures, spice and options with enough for tomorrow and the ensuing flavour/fart interaction to know it was a good feed. Plus you'll glisten at most rather than look like a Tory accountant being audited.
For what’s it’s worth.. my actual order tonight if I ever get off this poxy train will be a Chicken Rogan, 2 Bombay Potatoes, Pilau Rice, Plain Naan, Bag of Chips and 2 poppadoms.

I had an Injun last night from the highly recommended Masha but I wasn't too keen on it if I'm honest.
Main dish - Lamb Balti, it was a bit like a lamb stew with not much flavour.
Best dish - Fish Biran starter

You could go for a lamb sheek kebab starter (otherwise known as a dogs c*ck). Don’t forget 4 poppadoms.
For mains, tandoori chicken, Aloo Gobi, mushroom rice and a bicycle seat (naan bread) - either a keema nan or plain.
As an alternative main, chicken jalfrezi, pilau rice, aloo gobi, bicycle seat
Or - chicken tikka biryani. With that you get a vege curry, your rice of course and to really pig out, order another meat dish - a lamb bhuna or maybe a dopiaza. You can always nuke some of it the following day if too much.
Just had tea and feel hungry now

Masha is OK, from exprience - I'm struggling a bit with Indian IP takeaways recently, although Spice Hut on Spring Rd (used to be Cinnamon) do a pretty tasty Biryani.
Last couple of Bekash's have been gloomily average, Jaipur is infinite money cheat, and Bay of Bengal massively hit and miss.
Maharani still pretty good, to be fair.

Speaking from sh*tloads of experience l, a good flying solo setup is:
Popadoms + mixed chutney tray (bit of sweet, bit of savoury, bit of heat) Jalfrezi (chicken, veg or lamb according to preference) - full of flavour and enough heat to know you’ve had a curry Pilau rice (my pref) or a naan of choice for some extra calories (naan and rice if you’re really hungry, but that’s too much for me) 1, or preferably 2, large bottles of Kingfisher
I don’t think you need much else. If you’re a greedy sod, throw in an tikka starter or a side dish (eireblue’s aubergine suggestion is spot on, but may not be for everyone).
That’s my standard sit in solo feast, but I’m sure it’d translate to a takeaway (always better to sit in though, even as a Naans Solo - book is a good substitute for a friend).

Maharani is decent but Ghandi is my go to, back in the day the Gulshan was a personal favourite.

Maharani is decent but Ghandi is my go to, back in the day the Gulshan was a personal favourite.
And Lucans order is exactly what I order.
Funnily enough the one I had before Bekash was Ghandi and that was ok as it happens, Maharani is also reliable.
Bay of Bombay was my normal place go to but that's hit and miss now, they must have changed the chef - before that it was Cinnamon by the Old Times but that went a bit iffy after a while - they all go up and down if and when the chef moves on.
Gulshan - 100%, that was the best by far!!!!!!!!!!!
