'Is this tiny Prestwich takeaway really the best in the UK? I drove for forty minutes to find out'
Forty minutes in the car on the M60 on a dark, drizzly Tuesday evening to pick up a takeaway seems like a bit of an undertaking. Actually, let’s upgrade that to ‘daft’. But what if it’s supposed to be the best takeaway in the country?
I’ve already phoned in the order, but when I pull up, things are hectic. The kitchen is hot, loud and small and there are five cooks in the back, each head down and clattering pans together, moving between each other easily despite the squeeze. “We’ve given you an extra portion of bhajis to say sorry,” he adds. I’ve only been waiting five minutes. I like this place already. Flipping open the carton once in the car, I think ‘not all you lads are going to make it home’. They do not. No one knows I got the extra portion. It is the perfect crime.
Much of it doesn’t get off the kitchen counter before being descended upon, and I will admit to eating much of this standing up. Having been sat in the car with it for half an hour , manners deserted me. The saag aloo is heavy with leaf spinach rather than the more often minced, canned kind, which is fine by me too, by the way. It’s buttery and the slightly waxy potatoes have kept their shape, and simply melt. The saag chana is subtly different, spicier and soothing. The charred paneer is first rate.
