Chokri

I don't know if it's because of Covid, a change of management or what, but my usual curry house has become a reliable source of dishes either too dry, too gristly, or both. I am loyal when it comes to curry houses but I've had too much heart-and-stomach-ache from my previous haunt. I thought I'd cast my net a little wider, and tried Chokri. Seen it many a time but its location had seemed just a bit too inconvenient for me to stop for. I always used to order a lamb pathia at every newly discovered establishment, in the name of calibration. I'm sure you understand: if they can provide palatable lamb and a good sauce, then I'll return and try summat else. This time... I was too weary of that process. I've had far too many disappointing lamb pathias recently. So I tried the white-fish Kata Miti as respite. It was delicious. I went back a coupla days later and ordered the lamb Kata Miti. The sauce had changed subtly and was less amazing. The lamb Kata Miti came with very little surface oil. The meat had little gristle but it was overcooked. They gave me an extra poppadom. And I got some salad. So not only YMMV but MMMV. Discourse with the bearded feller behind the counter is limited. Next time I go, I will attempt to learn his name. Value for money (for a special deal for one -- 12 quid) 10/10

After a many dissapointing take outs from Kingsmead Spice, we decided to hunt for another Indian take away. We chose Chokra due to being one the most highly rated takeaways on JustEat in Northwich, and we now understand why. Starters were lovely, poppadoms really nice and light, no oil whatsoever. The condiments were lovely as well, not over powering when ate with poppadoms. Their Bajis are nice and Crispy, not oily. I then tried a Chicken & Cheese Pasanda, normally in other places they only offer it as a Cheese but having the best of both worlds was heaven. The sauce was very flavoursome, just right, not to sweet or oily, the cheese was just was lovely, no rubber or squeaky feeling :) chicken was succulent and soft. Pashwari rice is gorgeous, not to overpowered by sugar. The nan was lovely unfortunately I couldn't finish it because I was to full. If your looking for quality food that's delivered quickly and still hot then I'd definitely recommend Chokra over most Indian take aways in Northwich. Will be coming back very soon.
