I stopped using Curry Paradise over 10 years ago because it was crap. I'd imagine they have a new chef by now though

Used them a few times and found the food to be really excellent but the delivery time to be a bit variable. Also they forgot something once although they did get a replacement round pretty quickly.
That was a while ago though.

A few weeks ago I noticed that Curry Paradise seemed to have had a swish make-over. I've now been in three times over three weeks for a take-away and in terms of seated customers it has been busier each time - tonight (Tuesday) I waited 'till after 11pm (they open til 12). After 10% discount for collection a generous curry/rice/nan comes to around £10 and by timing it to avoid peak-time only takes 5 to 10 minutes. I'm not sure how long take-away would be as they seem to have got very busy. The new modern décor/graphics & friendly staff and manager seem to have struck chord with a local crowd and people who have spotted it while driving past. The food so far has been great - have had kurma, tikka masala & channa, so more sweet/creamy/mild - not tried hot stuff yet. There is a menu on their website: www.curryparadiserestaurant.co.uk

Don't get the feeling he is. It has indeed been done up and is now a restaurant instead of just a takeaway after they bought the old dry cleaning shop which later became a convenience store (which itself moved a few doors up last year) and it does look like they've done a decent job of it.
I'd imagine the owners have just asked people to pass the word on that it's now a restaurant as well.
I may be wrong.
PS: I DO NOT eat there so have nothing to gain

Yeah Curry Paradise is looking dead swish. I wonder if it's as cheap as it always was - we've had some really nice food off them in the past. Haven't ordered from them in aaaaages... so not sure if it's still the same, but used to rate it.
Spooky, innit! I do think we have very similar foodie tastes. Didn't we agree about the NEED for a nice little cake shop in Brixton? The sort of place that serves your tea in an old china pot with a strainer and does home-made coffee and walnut cake! Scrummy!
You have my support on this and also the paneer issue. Any other business?

Yeah, went downhill after Hakim left years ago I reckon, but now he's up The Hill
I've fallen back into love with Gousia to a large extent, us having two deliveries off them in the space of a month. And bloody nice they were too.
I must admit that they won extra bonus points by delivering in the snow, their poor delivery driver parking miles away and trudging miles to us. Impressively he even managed to bring the food hot, slipping and sliding to our place with a massive insulated box. And they still offer the excellent 'free balti' offer of the past if you ask nicely, which makes it all too cheap to buy far too much food. I'm a sucker for the chef's specials and some of the more unusual curries on their menu too - bring me omelette topped masalas and paneer festooned stuff by all means. Even a cucumber flavoured curry was surprisingly likeable
Curry Paradise looks much flasher, but it's been the best part of a decade and more since I've eaten there. I used to pop in all the time when we were in Fairmount Rd, but it was always more cheap, familiar and comforting than anything spectacular. Has the menu been updated to match the swisher surroundings?

It's written in a funny way but what they say is true about the increased custom and the makeover does look good. I'll try it some time and report, but after I've experimented with one of those crepe thingies a few doors up.

Actually, might as well flounce.
It's the acute accent on decor which clinches it. Why would such a brief post be written in Word first?
They also do a great spam curry.

How's it compare with him on the Hill near The Telegraph?
