I would prefer the Shahjan in laygate I believe it's still there today 50 years later

###under new management rob about 5 years ago caught with dead alsation in fridge and two swans from the the marine park lake .....

The Swan curry used to be one of the highlights along with Alsatian bajhis . In the middle 1960s it was the best of all the Bangladeshi restaurants in the area and then the bits you could see was scrupulously clean but in that time I expect the original owner has died several times

[cappy]

yes rob your right the original owner died several times they said it was his vindaloo .....but with the modern medicine today the brought him back to life .......but believe it or not back he went on the vindaloo......ah laygate lane ...street of a thousand delights sadly most of it gone now with new housing

##the only indian curry house on ocean road at the last count there was 27 in a row ......and that was just on one side of the road......more curry houses than weevils in your weeties on a british tanker in the 50s ..... cappy from shields,.....ps always got the feeling there was only one kitchen and the staff were running up and down the back lane in bleeding relays......best curry house in shieds THE RAJ ......but dont ask where it is we keep it for shields folk ...lol cappy

Aye Cappy, this was 1967, one Indian near the Marine pub and one Chinese, big change now though. I occasionally pop in Dolly Peel then up to that all you can eat place in Laygate.

Vindaloo is actually Hindi for 'where is the loo'.
A term used by many who have eaten it.
