Used to go there quite a bit ages ago and used to prefer it to the Royal Bengal, (the late bar was a big factor), but really rate the Royal Bengal now.

That's the one, I popped into the Royal Bengal and it was rammed, they said an hours wait, I was starving so went up to Bombay Palace, it was dead apart from one other person waiting for a takeaway, I should have known it would be dreadful.

As above. There's also about 6 'indian' restaurants in the vicinity, the best probably being Akbar's (alway very busy, book in advance for weekends) . There's also Millys for mixed affair - can be a bit hit of miss sometimes but decent enough).
Earlsdon's got some decent pubs as well (including Millys, but try the Royal Oak). And whilst like most busy places at the weekends there can be some rowdiness, it usually peaceful (well, apart from when Fester City fans visit the Open Arms).
Less than 10 mins in a taxi from the city centre/rail station.

Went once and really liked it, but again, we are talking about a number of years ago.

I looked too.it Seemed comparible to the prices at Pierre Bistrot, Zizzi, Wagamama and Los Iguanas.
Maybe I am mistaken though. I looked and was expecting it to be more than it was.

Doesn't seem that bad in the grand scheme of things.
A couple of weeks back I went to Cafe Rouge and it was nearly £12 just for a baguette.

Just you I fear
I'd agree it's expensive but, so's everywhere these days! Blame inflation and the EU.
Mind you, I'd pay more for a plate...

I can remember when fish and chips was 1/6 (that's one shilling and sixpence).
I think that makes me 250 years old.

I went to an Indian at the top end. Wife picked it not realising.
It was absolutely awful.

Leave it to Esmie’s is excellent! Well worth a visit.
I haven’t personally been to Sultan but heard good things. Same with Habibi’s. The Nigerian place provided the catering for an event at the Uni the other week and the feedback was excellent.
Pasha is a bit more spit and sawdust but does a mean large chicken shish, spicy rice and salad and they always throw in a free bowl of soup!
The Ukrainian/Polish place is actually run by a Belarusian but, randomly, was with a Ukrainian girl in Poland last week and was telling her about this place and she said the menu looked good and certainly very traditionally Ukrainian so have promised her I will try it out.

Thats called Leave It To Esmie. Its brilliant. Theres the Caribbean burger with jerk curry filling. You have to be very hungry to eat it though! The burrittos are nice too.
Thry have a big vegan menu too I believe.

Forgot about The Pod which should be right up your street being a vegetarian place and again I haven’t been personally but heard good things from colleagues.

Oh, never heard of it. Where's that exactly?
In Earlsdon Millsys is always decent. Food and atmosphere pretty good.
Also 'Street' is good. Its pan asain with some really interesting well cooked food.
Di Vincis is good but can get a bit pricey.
For Indian always prefer The Royal Bengal.
For a drink afterwards try The Royal Oak or Millsys. Avoid The City Arms!!!

If you’re walking out of town it’s just past Sainsbury’s and the little car park on the left.
Think it’s mainly a breakfast/lunch place but it is all freshly cooked vegetarian food and they have live music, harp playing etc. from time to time.
Looks very nice inside.

For curry, My Dhabba on Spon St was excellent. Complimentary poppadoms and great tasting food-missus and I had 2 courses with 2 jugs of drink for about £35 all in.
