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!
British Berry Butter Chicken
Contains dairy. But alas, sometimes its tastier to do things the 'Anglo-Indian' way. Here, chicken tikka pieces are cooked with butter, berry sauce, cream (a lot of it), and a mild Indian spice blend to provide a creamy luscious golden-coloured dish. Not like in India, but certainly tasty. (Naan to be ordered separately).£16.90HalalCreamy 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. Mild, creamy, coconutty, and sweet, perfect for a child who really is not up to the challenge of spice after such a tough day. (Rice is to be ordered separately)£14.90HalalAll 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)£15.90HalalMango 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.£16.90HalalChicken 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)£15.90HalalAuthentic Lamb Bhuna
To bhuna a dish is to continuously let it cook, until the sauce becomes so at one with the spices it could be a nursery rhyme like Jack and Jill. At Spicewala, our bhuna is authentic to its core, cooked in the morning and stewing throughout the day - just like it is back home. (Rice is to be ordered separately)£16.90HalalChicken 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.£15.90HalalLamb Saag
Oh what a dream dish! A house favourite no less. Authentic and awesome, tender lamb cutlets are spiced before being added to a sauce with sautéed spinach and cloves of ginger and garlic.

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.£15.90HalalLamb Lamb Pathia
Tamarind, mint, green chillies, and about a bajillion other things are stewed in this curry to make it that famous sweet and spice flavour profile when dining.
