actiondell4 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I had Lamb rogan josh at "Neeroys" in Soi Chaiyapoon and it would have to be the worst food I have ever had. They advertise their curries as "Bradford Curries",I presume thats in the Uk. Well they made the curry ok,but the beeef seemed to be old and non chewable as well,I have NEVER had Rogan Josh with Tomato sauce dolloped on top? Is that how they make Lamb Rogan Josh in Bradford ? For 140 baht a bowl,I expect better,no bread butter included ,just a bowl ,same size small creal bowl with old beef ,curry paste and tomato sauce. On a brighter note,opposite there is Canterbury Tales Cafe,food was very good,BUT Neeroys,sorry seems no pride or care for the tripe you dish out.

Jingthing Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) You sure that was beef and not the dodgy mutton you often find in Indian food here? I agree the food is very poor at Neeroys. I also tried some curries and later possibly the most shockingly awful fish and chips imaginable. Actually the chips were fine, but the fish, OMG.

Deserted Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Have to say I was also disappointed with their curries when I ate there a month back. Generally, Soi Chayapoom, isn't great for food quality-wise I find, but some nice bars nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 A guy orders a LAMB curry then proceeds to tell us all just how bad the BEEF was in this LAMB curry Am I missing something here ? The fact you also wanted / expected Bread and butter with a curry tells me you are the last person on earth to give a recommendation of a curry house meal. No Nan bread, Chapatti or Rotti OK but bread and butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Doesn't matter, that place has poor curries no matter the professional qualifications of the reviewer. I don't recall if they offer beef there as a rogan josh option, but I won't ever be going there again to find out either. They do sell Indian breads a la carte.

bob4you Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 try Spices 2 on 3rd road just past the back entrance to Carrefour. I had Lamb (Mutton) curry a couple of weeks ago, it was not on Menu but when I asked they agreed they had it and would make it. I got a huge bowl with lots of tender lamb for B275, they also served a buffet (it came out after I was done eating) from 7:30 to 10:30pm mostly vegetarian but some chicken dishes for B199 and everything in the buffet was very tasty. This place is a stop off for large tour buses of Indians, I recommend it highly. The price of drinks (cokes and beer) are not just reasonable but even could be called cheap.

PattayaParent Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Rogan Josh is always lamb, if they gave you beef you should have returned it. The tomato ketchup was probably to give it the red colour that it is famous for. Sounds like an awful meal but to expect bread and butter in an Indian restuarant is weird.

I also tried some curries and later possibly the most shockingly awful fish and chips imaginable. Actually the chips were fine, but the fish, OMG. I think I had one of those fish a few months ago. A really thick (and soggy) batter - I had to leave it. Not quite up to the Village Chippy or Goose's standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danlo Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think someone said that the Village chippy and chinese had closed, not sure if thats so as its a bit out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Really? I heard the politically incorrect Village Chinese place had indeed closed, but no news about the Village Chippy. That would be a little surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tried some curries and later possibly the most shockingly awful fish and chips imaginable. Actually the chips were fine, but the fish, OMG. I agree completely. I tried Neeroys' fish and chips a while back based on a review (in response to a thread you started, JT) by a chick poster here saying that Neeroys does "an excellent english style fish & chips". It was wretched, the worst I have ever had anywhere. The place was empty, and after I tried the fish I knew why. The only plus was that I had no lingering signs of food poisoning.

kerryk Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Admittedly it was a couple of years ago but I used to eat the lasagna there a couple of years ago and it was good. Not authentic by any means but really filling. Across the street at Seaside was usually good and also cheap. Is Seaside still OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champken Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The fish and chips at Neeroys always used to be quite acceptable although i must admit i haven't eaten there for a while, but that whole environment in that Soi hardly lends itself to gourmet style food and i wonder what a health and safety inspection would come up with in any of those kitchens in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattaya_girl Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I use to frequent Neeroy's quite often. Did not like his Indian style food, it was tasteless, I use to eat the Fish & Chips, and enjoyed them, but not been for such a long time, maybe it has changed. I did have his Mince & mash one time and was stuck on the toilet for days after, it kinda put me off the place. However, Seasider restaurant up the Soi I always find to be OK and have never been sick from eating there in 10 Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
