Best Ruby in Preston

mjppne · Oct 13, 2006

Up to see the folks and the game this weekend from London (2 Preston fans, 2 Sunderland fans - hopefully a long journey home for them!).

Will probably go for a curry on the Saturday night. What is the best one now in the city centre? I just remember the one on friargate and the ones down church street....

Cheers.

DILSHAN ON FRIARGATE OR NASEEBS ON FISHERGATE CANT GO WRONG

I can't remember the name of it for the life of me, but the first one (after the Adelphi) on the left hand side of Friargate. Reasonably priced also!!! Next to Pizza City. Spice of Bengal maybe????

Try Rubys opposite the Dilshan,best i've had by far,it's a newish place and you get lots of extras like a free double whisky or baileys[for the misses] for the trip home.

Do you mean the DILSHAD on Friargate?

If so, then I can confirm it as one of (if not the) best curries in a town that is not short of curry houses.

Went to the dilshad last week and it was awful. In fact it has been the last few times. Nasseb is 10 times better:mawene:

Nah...Dilshads over rated IMO...every curry tastes exactly the same...sh+te !

Give King Karai a go down near the docks...bit out of town and generally closes earlier than the city centre curry houses but a much better bet...again, in my humble opinion.

most eat in houses in preston have gone expensive and average. you should try either a new place or do as i do after a few and tell them (in a sober voice) that you work for a local paper and you will be reviewing them in the next few weeks and you look forward to your food. 😀

you may be suprised.

dammm damm given away my secret.😱

dilshad is ok but nowt special, rubys is bl00dy awful. That new one on church street has to be the best at the moment, cant remember the name but its opposite and slightly up street from last orders.

Well my old mate Mark H could tell you different, he ran and I ended up paying, used to be the best curry, but that was 20 years ago...happy days, ps Mark if you are reading this, you still owe me...LOL 🙄

Re: Best Ruby in Preston

Ahh, a thread on indian cuisine, I must add my two penneth.

The 'kizzy' was the first curry house in preston and was the best for many years. Started going in the mid 80s on a sat night with me dad after preston dogs.

Mr Ali was the owner, he was a sound bloke. We even went for xmas dinner a couple of times. 😱

Nowadays I think they are all much of a muchness. And its a case of some are worse than others. My PF would be the spice of bengal now i reckon.

The nearest quality 'authentic' cuisine I know of is in lancaster. Can never remember the name?!?!? You have to book in advance and theres no alcohol licence so you have to take your own booze. Does anyone know what its called.

Get yer sen to asda for a chicken vindaloo. 3 fer sick squid....as good as anything Ive had up town recently and the chicken is...well....chicken😀

Not wanting to fall out with you Soul but I fink you will find that the Bangali was the first circa 1959 to open in this fine City which is even before White Feather White Horse 44 where even thought of...........I stand to be corrected.

Re: Best Ruby in Preston

Went to Ruby's last night, wasn't that good to be honest! Shacks was good till the roof fell in and he ran of to India with the insurance 🙂 🙂

Re: Best Ruby in Preston

King Karai down near the docks is the daddy, but i would recommend Dilshad or Spice of Bangal down Friargate.

Just stay away from Naseeb's on church street. Shocking Ruby's!!!

Get VB to bring you one back from Dehli - now that would be authentic.

Panache Palace - owned and run by the same family that has the Papadum Palace on Friargate.

Went for a meal in there last saturday night and it was bloody good, one of the best in preston, was also a very nice establishment!

The spice of bengal always delivers too, nice service, good food!🙂

As fer the Dilshad, always reminds me a bit of school dinners when you walk in and everyone is lined up on them long tables! 🙁
