The English have a love affair with curry and there are no shortage of Indian restaurants in Dorking, but where's the best curry in this part of surrey ?
There are a 9 restaurants in and around Dorking, some long established, some new:
Zaffrons
Dorking Brasserie
Red Chilli
Tandoori Nights
Gurkha Kitchen
Chilli & Spice
New Curry Garden
Ali Raj (Newdigate)
Bay Leaf (Westcott)
In my own personal opinion, I have found the standard to be very average - I've had good and poor meals in most of them. ( I have not tried the Bay Leaf in Wescott yet).
I also understand that a lot of people would disagree with me and wholeheartedly recommend their favourite restaurant.....
The Dorking Brasserie is nicely furnished and always busy at the weekends.
Red Chilli - Just outside of town near North Holmwood on the old "Little Chef" site - very modern, comfortable & reasonably priced
Chilli & Spice - my current favourite is small so book up in advance to guarantee a table
The New Curry Garden has recently opened under new management (after nearly 45 years) and have expanded the menu with a lot more dishes including duck.
Please leave your comments - It would be great to hear your views
