I think I will have been about 14, 1985ish - growing up in Seaham I can remember when we got our first chinese (Sams) in about 1982/3 we used to get curry n chips from school for 30p, but I cant remember there ever being an indian takeaway, or if there was we never had it/couldnt afford it, did they even have indians around the northeast in the 70's?

i was 20 and had it in the Dehli Durbar in Chester Road (i think) around 1970
 
I presume that was a restaurant, did they have takeaways like they do now?

it was a sitty down restaurant, dont know if they did takeaways, but they always asked if you wanted chiken off the bone. if you did you got breast if you didn't you got a leg.:eek:
 
I was 18, first year of uni after about 10 pints. Lamb bhuna somewhere in sheffield. Never looked back.

I just meant takeaways in general like could you just say reet I fancy an indian and get on the phone and order it in like you can today, I'm just trying to work out when they became really popular really

Was eating curries in restaurants in mid seventies.
 
mine was a korma and I never liked it, are there many curry houses in Ireland?

Fair few now, though woefully under-attended by most Irish people... When I've been in it's mostly English customers. Possibly different in the cities tho.

Couldn't stand a korma now, way too sweet, more of a jalfrezi person
 
About 18 or 19 in that place on the corner in North Bridge Street that's been about a hundred different eateries since then.
We went clubbing afterwards and I remember feeling frigging stuffed.
