Badsha is a traditional looking restaurant on West Cross (which is the A28). There is plenty of on street parking nearby. Nicely lit and decorated, the traditional look continues with beams a plenty throughout the dining area.
The (alleged) Cobras arrived promptly with a short wait for the Papadums, Neither Phil nor Bob had ever seen a pint of Cobra - bottled or draught - with an inch high head of froth. It was also very gassy with torrents of bubbles and very un-Cobra like. Bob queried whether it was Cobra and was re-assured that it was but Phil was far from convinced. The Papadums were nice and warm but a couple were a little burned.
The curries were initially delivered to the wrong table! When they were repatriated however, both were very pleasing. Phil felt that his Dhansak was spot on. There was a good balance of heat and sweet and the flavour and texture of the lentils came through nicely. Bob enjoyed his butter chicken and it held his interest all the way through.
The rice was excellent, as was the muttar paneer. There was a little disappointment with the Bombay Aloo. It was a little cold and lacked seasoning.
The service was a little haphazard. The greeting was pleasant but the waiters seemed a little harassed. It was clear that there was a new waiter in training but the food was delivered to the wrong table, The usual checks during the meal weren't there but orange segments were served with the napkins.
