Best Indian Restaurant in Stockport/Heaton Moor?

You know when it's time to leave when...

Me too.

Current reviews are that it's terrible and it will be until they properly settle in, but it still won't be great even after their bedding in period

All pre made being kept warm. Plus they do indian, chinese and even lasagne. Just doesn't appeal to me that.

I cook a lot of my own BIR style curry,make my own base gravy and all that.

Me too. It's a pain in the arse but worth it in the end.

Its close to restaurant standard I'd say there's just something missing. I've heard the oil they use is what they've used for cooking bhajis over a period. Thay extra flavour makes all the difference. Could be rubbish as well.

Any recipes you'd recommend? I watch Al, Misty etc and have a couple of books.

Bombay to Mumbai in Bramhall another level . Donia the proprietor is also a trained opera singer she will occasionally entertain the diners.

Imagine how much money they’ll be able to launder each year

The ultimate pyramid scheme.

Looking at the reviews for the pyramid it’s a mixed bag - reviews and reviewers.

It’s a slightly odd location, other than being ‘the pyramid’, I would have thought the ideal place would be at the Trafford centre - shop and eat, motorway - but presumably uninspiring buildings/space around/at the TC.

Cant say I’d make it a destination, driving vs local restaurant, and, being stereotypical, I’d prefer to have the availability of a beer - but I can see it appealing to families and stereotypical non beer drinking people.

The Kush in Heaton Moor was an institution.
Got to the stage where the food was genuinely superb. Ray Carter the Burnage butcher supplied the meat which was excellent. Ray passed away about 10 years ago. The Kush was run by three brothers who were great lads. Sadly the family suffered a bereavement and closed some years ago. Real shame… Lovely family and iconic restaurant.

The Last Monsoon was really good last year (review below). We'll have to try the Pyramid but not a fan of buffets.

June 2024. Stockport. “A gallon of Unicorn, and a greasy lamb dhansak, a night out in Stockport… ” Actually, that would have given John Denver a bigger hit than his paean to Sheff…

I don't see how such a massive restaurant will provide quality food- just suggests "mass catering" to me.

Last Monsoon is still good, the usual stuff, but done very well imo.

Some good discounts too for takeaways if you use their own app

I remember Ray training as a butcher in Pete Williamson’s shop in Heaton Mersey.
The Kush was a fav place to go after the 11pm throwing out time

The last monsoon is fine, eaten there and had their take-aways a number of times. The Crown on the other hand.....used to be a fine real ale pub, then changed ownership. Haven't been in for a couple of years now but the last time it was occupied by a number of scallys, looked like a collection from some OCG crime drama.

Ordered a pint of hobgoblin, turned up slightly darker than lager but not much. Told the barmaid who looked a bit confused, called the manager, "OOH I'm sorry" sez another dodgy looking fella, " we've changed the barrel but forgot to change the pump sign. Ordered another beer, forget which, but it turned up looking and tasting exactly like the last one, ie shite.

Got the impression it was some sort of money laundering set up run by people who hadn't a scooby. Never been back

I went several times when it was in Levenshulme and it was fantastic

Not sure if it’s true but someone said one of the chefs from the Kush now owns the ‘royal chef’ takeaway down the road in reddish?

Looks like your standard Indian takeaway from the outside but might be worth a punt

 

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

Definitely going to try this over the weekend.

The owner is a Goan spud btw and loves to talk football ! I was in there on weds for a takeaway - excellent as usual

Been to the Kush many times always loved it .
In the early days we used to go in when all the pubs were closing they would still be serving as long as you ordered food ... it was always poppadom's and lager.
The Royal Chef definitely has a Kush connection, the Chicken is not the cubed shite and the chips are more like mini roasties and the Madras is the same, maybe one of the chefs is from there but don't think he owns it.
Think its Sami that still makes the curries that you can buy for at home.
Also they have a few pop up Kush nights at the local restaurant's on the Moor, there's actually one tonight at Pokusevski on Shaw rd. .

interesting - I'll give royal chef a go then.

Had no idea Kush was still sort of going as a pop up. Pokusevski's is a lovey place. They should do something at Reddish Ale, they always have restaurant pop ups on and it's really successful.

Just a warning that I've not used it for awhile.
