Four nights in Manchester this week, and three closing time visits to delhi2go (119 Oldham St., Manchester M4 1LN England), and not for Curry. It is two years since Hector last had Curry here, the likelihood of this occurring again, the future shall reveal.
On Tuesday, it was the ½lb Cheese Burger (£6.50), no photo, a mountain of overcooked Meat, way too Seasoned, overdone, not a patch on the impressive Burgers I have been verbally recommending in recent years. No need to write them up here.
Way too Seasoned, overdone – yes, the Hector has written this, that should reveal all.
Another important piece of information was gleaned. Chef Rashid has long gone, no obvious Maestro has replaced him. There was a kid in the kitchen, working alone.
How could he possibly know the means by which delhi2go had produced such impressive Curry in bygone days?
If there is to be a late night Ancoats Curry, in future I may return to Golden Tandoori, which due to the ongoing Northern Quarter redevelopment have moved a few doors down.
Last night, Pizza: Meat Feast (£8.80), and I managed to have the necessary Black Olives added at no extra cost.
Consumed within minutes of its purchase, hot, fresh, tasty. Way more than the Hector needed, half was given away. Amazing how people who didn’t buy food suddenly become hungry when offered, guilty.
Tonight, a Kebap of some kind was in mind. Having watched others enjoy Seekh Kebab earlier at Lahori Badsha, a Seekh Kebab Wrap (£6.99) captured the Hector.
Packed before I got to add Pickled Chillies, this was again eaten moments after purchase back at t’Travelodge. A pity I had to unravel it to investigate the contents.
The number of Wraps purchased by Hector could well be counted on one hand, never taken to them. Compared to the Mexican equivalent way more manageable. Two Kebaps inside would have bolstered the experience, also, my own choice of accompaniments. However for a late night snack, not too heavy.
Usually, there are two visits to Manchester at the start of the year, but I missed out on tickets for IQ at Bury this year. Maybe next year?
