I think the curry places in Hertford need to watch out. I've found another not so far away that I think is better. Turan in Hatfield does not have an extensive menu but it is superb - that is based on three visits during the past few weeks. I'd be interested to know if any other Hertford-ites have tried it.

I will certainly try it....but tell me, what makes it so good?

Do they do free deliveries to Hertford and free taxis there and back so that I can have a skinful when I dine in?

We went again yesterday and it was just as good. Main difference, to answer wizkid, is the food quality. But service is also good. Only minor problems yesterday were Xmas crackers on the table, some naff Xmas music playing instead of the pleasant modern asian music (but they did revert to the asian for some of our meal). You do need to watch out for parking there. It's free for the first hour but you have to pay for longer. We overstayed yesterday and were lucky not to get nicked. They only do free deliveries up to 3 miles so we are too far.

Parking ??? Driving to a curry house rules out about 99% curry lovers .

I think you will find the best curry anywhere is in Bedford. Rajkot. Two Indian chefs, from India, and a menu that does tapas style dishes, so three dishes for £12. Best I have ever had by far.

Bedford is a tad too far even for a curry. Can you tell them to open a branch in Hertford? They can move into the Paddyfields site next week.....

As we seem to be drifting into a most un-Hertford pi##ing contest I would offer Charcoals in Glasgow. Any advances? [B)]

I'll have a word with Sam, the boss, next time I see him. Paddyfields is a bit too big, the present restuarant is about the size of Louise's photography place, but it seems packed every night.

Re your comment Leo, I haven't recently looked at the rules of this forum but surely it is ok to mention places that are within easy reach of Hertford? I'm sure all the curryphiles of Hertford would be happy if the local curry houses took notice of the fact that there is serious competition in Hatfield, St Albans or even Bedford....

"The Discover Hertford Online Forum is provided as a means for local residents to discuss local issues and events. The term 'local' refers to Hertford and it's immediate locales" Technically Cole Green, Stapleford and Brickendon are probably pushing it a bit [;)]

In fact less so, given that London's are easily accessible by public transport and possibly closer to the place of work of a large number of Hertford's residents.

Yeah - I might toddle off to Brick Lane or Tayyab after work tomorrow but don't think I'll be talking about it on here. Certainly easier to get to than Bedford and probably St Albans without a car.

Okeydoke chaps, I won't go off in a sulk, but the place I mentioned in Hatfield only takes 15 minutes by car.

I can get to Bedford in 45 minutes and I don't speed. I'm surprised this hasn't turned into a "I eat hotter curry than you" that is a fun game lots of men play. Not me, I'm a real curry wimp.

Which side of Bedford? I used to have to travel to visit clients in Bedford two or three times a year and reaching the environs of Bedford was no problem - negotiationg a way round/through it was tortuous. Anyhoo.. I have yet to try the Turan (although I fully intend to) but on other recommendations sampled the Raj for the first time last night. Instructed by Mrs Sarto to get some sundries on my way home to supplement a supermarket curry (supermarket Bahjis are never up to scratch) I was so drawn in by interesting sounding dishes I've not seen elsewhere that I managed to trigger the "free bottle of wine" threshold. I was not disappointed (by the food - haven't operned the wine yet). Raj is now top of my list in Hertford.
