I KNOW some people who solely measure the quality of a takeaway on the size of the portion.

Now while I'm as keen on good value as the next person, there's no point having a mound of tasteless mush.

The Spicy Grill will disappoint those who have Deserate Dan-like appetites but will surprise those who like a nice tasty curry.

My chicken tikka massala was perhaps slightly lacking in the chicken department but I wasn't in the mood for a big tea'. And the pieces that were there very nicely cooked in a lovely creamy sauce.

The better half's chicken jalfrezi was a fiesty little number with some fresh chillies lurking in the sauce to inflict damage on the unwary.

At £8.50 for the main dishes, rice, chapatti and delivery it still had to represent very good value.
