Neel Akash Indian & Bangladeshi Restaurant             A: I was very happy to receive an invitation to the new Indian restaurant last week, so I called my dear friend Louis and we went to the Neel Akash, which means ‘blue sky’, to see what all the fuss was about. B: The Neel Akash is near the town square at the end of Sussex Street, opposite the library. It is very central, so we walked there, but it is easy to get to from the train and bus stations and it also has its own car park. C: The restaurant has only been open for two weeks, so it still feels very new. The décor is traditional with a lot of wood and dark reds and greens. The lighting isn’t too bright and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. I particularly liked the flowers and candles on all the tables. There were already a lot of people there, so it was lively but not too noisy. D: When we arrived, a pleasant young waiter showed us to our table which was in the window overlooking the garden. As soon as we sat down, another waiter brought the menu and took our drinks order. He explained the different dishes to us, recommended the specialities of the restaurant and then gave us some time to make our choices. E: I love Indian food and wanted to taste everything, but in the end I ordered a selection of starters for us to share. We had shami kebab – spiced lamb, aloo chat – spicy potatoes, and egg akuri which is egg cooked with onions and served with bread. For my main course I had chicken tikka korma which is a mild chicken cooked in a cream sauce. I don’t like very spicy food so that was hot enough for me. This came with delicious boiled rice and nan bread. My friend ordered a very spicy fish curry which he had with a side dish of raita which is yoghourt with cucumber. Everything looked perfect and tasted absolutely delicious. F: When the bill came we were pleasantly surprised as it was very reasonable. We paid £20 per person which included drinks and a tip. For a cheaper option, you can have a buffet lunch during the week which costs £7.95 and you can eat as much as you like for that.
