Thats for two (delivered), not cheap but overall I don't think its ridiculous if the quality is good.

I'm assuming central London?
That'll teach me to read smile

Still seems pricey.

Checked the menu of my local and the plain Naan was £2.25 and the rice £2.95 and 10% discount on collection for orders over a tenner.

Just Eat have a lot to answer for!

One person, two naans. £3.95 each delivered is my take on it.

Wires crossed here. I missed it was 2 naans. I thought the comments were picking up it was a meal for two people.

A curry with a side, starter and 2 naans is a lot of food for one.

Have you seen the Dirty Takeaway thread?

It absolutely amazes me how much food people can get through (let alone afford).

I drop in and out of it.

Indian takeaway portions are usually big. When I've had an Indian takeaway I know I've eaten a huge amount. It's far more food and calories than fish and chips.

I didn't anticipate that someone would have 2 naan breads on top of a full meal. We share a naan and rice, but go for different curries and usually two starters. There is always plenty left.

I thought I was a big eater.

The best fish and chips I've had over the past few years has been from 'Marinos' in Bexhill on Sea.

The normal response is Magpie cafe but I suspect there are better places in reality.

If they’ve got any sense, where in the north doesn’t?

I feel I have to defend my regular order hehe

I am greedy, but the naans, and to be honest the portions in general are not huge. It's not even really that tasty if I'm honest. No great options (quality or quantity) for takeaways where I am. Its sad.

Sorry, back on topic. My favourite fish and chips is in Brae, Shetland.

Fried in beef dripping and they quite often had monkfish which was great!

Had F&C at a local shop in Bewdley this weekend, large F&C was £12.50 and wasn’t very big at all. What really annoyed me was that the curry sauce or mushy peas used to be about £0.80p are now £1.30 for little more than a tablespoon of either. Ridiculous prices.

A spicy haggis pouch supper is much better than fish and chips. It is also cheaper than fish and chips.
