Different management now probably. It’s the same guy who owns it, him with the ill-fitting wig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,539 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 RobL, yes we’ve used Karikana quite often, can’t fault them, but on this occasion we thought we’d try a Saagar meal. Won’t bother again though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Another place I unfailingly visit when I am in Nottingham is the Bombay Sweet Centre on Radford Road. All the veggie stuff is amazing. The namak paray is worth going to the shop just for that alone. The aloo gobi is the finest I have tasted. Pakoras of course, which I eat almost as soon as I get out of the shop. Oddly enough the only thing they dont do that well is naan bread. Curry king just a little further up the road do it well, but get a bit arsy if you just want to buy naans without a curry dish. I usually buy 4 or 5 naans and freeze them from there. They sometimes do an elephant ear naan which is huge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,879 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Went to the Saagar last night, average meal, no air con or enough social distancing. Same owner with the syrup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,275 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Not been for over 15 years. It used to be a favourite but we never go in that direction nowadays. I’m a bit wary of eating out and going to pubs. The Saagar was excellent 20 years ago but no longer open at lunchtime I believe. A curry house with no air con yesterday is definitely to be avoided!

denshaw 2,879 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Was it once known as Paraquito? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,275 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I remember it being the Paraquito when I lived in Woodthorpe 58 years ago. They had a neon lit parrot in the window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same owner with the syrup. We ate in Saagar at the start of the year, before lockdown and enjoyed the meal and were surprised the owner still had that same wig. (He was very attentive and seemed to appreciate that we were giving them a go because we used to go in there regularly many years ago but got rather bored with them. During lockdown we had a takeaway from there, with friends (social distancing) in our garden. It was a dreadful meal, very greasy and extremely expensive for what we got, think it was £75-80 for 4 of us. A lot of the food went back into the very posh takeaway box they'd delivered it in and then straight in the bin. I've heard the same disappointments from other people and will not be giving them another chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
