Best Curry In Sligo?

tulipandthistle

We would like to take a friend out for a meal because she has helped us out immensely by letting us borrow her car. I know she likes curries so I thought maybe we would take her to the curry..... Where, would you say, is the best curry in Sligo?

4 Lights.

Thanks! Where is that? I'm not too familiar with Sligo town

I think SligoBrewer is having a laugh. The 4 lights is a chippie which is infamous in Sligo town but may only be able to rustle up curry chips!
I would say Poppadum if you are looking for a good place. Mind you i dont think people expect those kind of generosities over here. (i am making presumptions on your username as Sligobrewer may have too!). Expect some turbulence in her accepting, but she is obviously a very lucky friend to have ye.

tulipandthistle

Oh I do expect turbulance in her acceptence, but hey I'll ride the storm.... Thank you for suggesting, I think I might also ask if she has her eye on somewhere to eat.

Sligobrewer, you are funny;)

tulipandthistle

Come to think of it, if there is turbulence, it will be the "4 lights"......;)

Best Curry in Sligo? Probably the one between Charlestown and Tubber:D

Try "Paprika" out on the Pearse Road if you like your nice and curries hot. It's my new favourite place.

I think Paprika & Mandarin Court are fairly poor - I've tried both & when I asked about where there meats came from (ie local / imported) & if they were free range, they didn't want to tell me. So they're obviously the cheaper options - if the ingredients are top of the range, you'll have no problem shouting it.

Poppadom is good for that, but I find their main courses seriously lacking in the taste department. Far too bland. I was in the Lemongrass in Carrick a couple of months ago & was highly impressed, so I was glad to see one open in Sligo. It's equally as good, though I don't understand their policy of employing oriental chefs only - it's a franchise, so the recipies are gonna be the same - so surely an oriental trained Irish chef would be as good as an oriental? Whatever happened to equal opportunities?

Popadums rocks, this gets my support!

did not like poppadom. lemongrass followed closely by paprika for me.
i cant believe there is not one decent chinese sit down restaurant in town though. the food in the mandarin is good but the place is in serious need of revovation and its like a lottery when its open. closed last weekend for the chinese new year!!!!!! i ask you

TequilaMockingBird

Classic India, Market Street.

YUMMY!!

Coriander Naan, dipped into Chana Masala, a little Mint Sauce...
and thats just the side dish....

What time do they open, is 10.30am a little early for an Indian...?

I agree - Mandarin is a dump. I only ate there once - the food was okay, but I felt like I was having a bad trip looking at the decor. Staff were a bit odd too. If the hotel in "The Shining" had a chinese restaurant, that'd be it.

And Seume- I think it might be a wee bit early for an Indian. Leave it till at least 11am.

Surely the best curry in Sligo is Tubbercurry?!?!

(yeah - crap, I know!)

I absolutely loved the Dragon House up in the market yard. I moved to Limerick and it was thriving and I moved back a year later and it was closed!

Best curry is a very broad question imo.
So many different curries, so many different restaurants.

My fave take out from any of our eastern cuisine eateries = a chicken vindaloo from Classic India.

TequilaMockingBird

Oh you just had to bring it up didn't you....

Okay its 11 now, is Classic India open yet??

Radharc na Sleibhte

I wouldn't put it past them....

I wonder do they open for lunch.
I'm getting hungry.

They don't.

They asked me did I think there would be call for it. I said YES.
