Ruby Murrays - Slang for Curries

In the 1970s, thanks to a select group of enterprising Bangladeshis, Indian curry houses exploded in popularity. With these classic curries canvassing every menu, here is our tribute!

Chicken Tikka Balti Balti
Balti became popular in Birmingham, of all places, when amazing Pakistani-owned restaurants put their own twist on their 'curry for the day'. Putting the balti on the map (quite literally in Birmingham, Google the Balti triangle), the balti differed restaurant to restaurant. At Spicewala, our balti consists of an amazingly spiced tomato and onion sauce, with incredibly flavoured fresh vegetables and chicken tikka pieces. (Naan to be ordered separately)
£15.90
Halal
Damn It's the Chicken Dansak
A personal favourite. Chicken pieces are tumbled with cooked moong dal (that's lentils for those not in the lingo), and then made creamy and somewhat spicy though a pineapple and chilli blend. (Paratha sold separately).
£15.90
Halal
All Hail the English Chicken Tikka Masala
Contains dairy. From Karens to Karans, this is the dish that won the heart of England. Tomato sauce, coconut, and demerara sugar, marinated chicken tikka, topped off with decadent double cream. Our Spicewala tikka masala has a twist of tamarind, elevating flavours intensely. (RICE to be ordered separately)

Creamy Creamy Chicken Korma
Contains dairy. The ultimate dish for every Indian child that failed their exams. Your dad would scold you, but your mum would make you a korma.

£14.90
Halal
Mango Goa Lamb
Contains dairy. Something refreshingly Indian, yet mild to ones with a discerning palate. Creamy mango pulp is layered on top of a base of cream and mildly spiced puréed onions, to create an aromatic sweet curry. Next, add some tender lamb cutlets, and you have an amazing moreish curry.
£16.90

Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi Spicy-Fry
Jalfrezi in Hindi means 'hot-fry', which is exactly what we do at Spicewala. Take marinaded chicken tikka pieces, fry them with a good kick of spice in a sauce which we then fry with 'hot' onions and 'hot' peppers. The dish which helps give Spicewala its name! (Naan to be ordered separately)

Not like in India, but certainly tasty. (Naan to be ordered separately).
