Indian YMCA, 41 Fitzroy Square, W1T 6AQ

Have been meaning to go to the Indian YMCA for a while now, finally got round to it today.

I decided on some pilau rice, vegetable curry, dhal, pickle and a poppadom, which cost me a handsome £4.15. Most reasonable. While the pilau and poppadom were pedestrian, I can say with confidence that the dhal was one of the finest I have tasted West of Bangalore. My manservant settled on a lamb curry which he was equally satisfied with, although the spicy aromatics left his Hibernian complexion flushed somewhat.

Despite the bizarre canteen-style seating arrangement and the prevalence of dreadlocked student types, it was a fine dining experience which I would recommend should you be in the area.
