Amazing Indian Lunch buffet Tamashah

Stumbled upon this place for Indian Buffet called Tamashah in Crawley for 13.95 for lunch and it was fantastic.

It was nice and quiet on a Sunday and there was no time limit.

Most of the usual suspects where there like Korma, Tikka, rices, breads and desserts.

The seafood, prawn options were really good with squid in it too.

Dessert was to my liking especially the rice pudding which was not too sweet and had a fresh jasmine aroma to it.

Indeed it was Schnitzel heaven

In every cuisine you will find something that is coated and fried like battered fish in fish and chips, chicken nuggets, Japanese tempura/cutlet, Korean Corndogs, Russian Kievs to the Austrian Schnitzel.
Enter Schnitzel Heaven and Schnitzel Forever which specializes in Schnitzel.

I decided to visit Schnitzel Heaven first and was definitely impressed.

Basically, it was a Schnitzel done right, the coating was good, meat quality was good and the frying oil was clean.

Simple as that!

Each bite was delicious, the meat was battered extremely thin but remained moist from frying and the Japanese coating was light and crispy and did not retain the oil or have a funny taste.

It was a good balance because the coating was not too thick or over powering in taste that it didn't really need any sauces but fresh lemon took it to another lemon.

On the menu, you will find some fancy Schnitzel with sauces and toppings but as it was my first time I had it plain so you can taste the meat quality and in general how good it is.

Dino's Cafe, New Spitalfields

Failed visit to Dino's Cafe, I knew I shouldn't of  trusted google but there was no number or other info online.

Just like Billingsgate Cafe, I should have guessed it would have been closed by midday.

Anyway, at least I got to see the New Spitalfields market and did my walking for the day!

kabul sheeryakh

Another place for Afghan Sheeryakh (frozen milk).

This place does authentic Sheeryakh as well but I went at the wrong time because they made too much of it so it was just scooped out from the container.

The tell tale signs because the shape was a round scoop but if it was made to order you will see them pushing and rotating the metal container vigorously.

Again, the location of this was off the radar located near Hendon Station.

As for the taste, it was just as nice and not as sweet which was good.

Authentic Afghan Sheeryakh, Hanwell

Finally got my dose of authentic Afghan Sheeryakh.

My quest for Sheeryakh (frozen milk) has not been easy as all the locations are out of no where and they all open in the evenings when I can't access them.

Out of the four I tried, I can definitely confirm this place is more than authentic and the same as how you would see it in Afghanistan on the internet.

You will see milk being poured into the metal drum and the drum is constantly pushed up and down and rotated in an ice cavity thing which is extremely physical.

Once the frozen milk is ready and scooped into the bowl, they pour clotted cream on top.

The pieces of clotted cream curd was delicious and reminds me of Mongolian Aaruul curds.

Overall, a really refreshing dessert that is not too sweet and Thankfully the rose water is not strong because I don't like rose!

Again, out of the radar for most like me but I would definitely recommend it.

The first Schnitzel specialist in London - Schnitzel Forever

In every cuisine you will find something that is coated and fried like battered fish in fish and chips, chicken nuggets, Japanese tempura/cutlet, Korean Corndogs, Russian Kievs to the Austrian Schnitzel.

Enter Schnitzel Forever which specializes in Schnitzel located in Stoke Newington right next to Hollywood Candy.

They started their amazing Schnitzel during the pandemic and now they have a successful restaurant with many diners.

I was lucky to get a table as I was early as they were fully booked on a Wednesday night.   
As a Schnitzel specialist, they definitely got it right from daily oil changes, good quality to to meat quality.
Simple as that!
For starters, the original Schnitzel is a good one to start on and for me Chicken was pure foodgasm.
Each bite was delicious, the chicken breast was battered extremely thin but remained moist from frying and the Japanese coating was light and crispy and did not retain the oil or have a funny taste.
It was a good balance because the coating was not too thick or over powering in taste that it didn't really need any sauces but fresh lemon took it to another lemon.
The fresh dill and parsley garnishing complemented it nicely and there was also dill butter which are all up my alley.
On the menu, you will find some fancy Schnitzel with sauces and toppings and I like the way they even have Saganaki which is three different types of cheese coated in breadcrumbs as well as the fried burrata.

Overall, I definitely recommend this and even Jay Rayner approves!

Returned a month later and had the fried burrata on apple & brandy apricot chutney and

pesto sauce.

It takes schnitzel to the next level when you add the gooey creamy burrata on to it and the apple apricot chutney tasted liked delicious McDonalds apple pie filling because of the cinnamon.
