The parsi dhansak was a real treat , the main curry was every bit as good as our local Indian restaurant and take away ,flavours simply poured out , we did top it off with a good handful of chopped coriander which lifted it to another level. The tamarind chutney unfortunately was not to our taste , we have had this before at our local which was less bitter than yours ,but as it is a side it did not make a great difference
