Top restaurants in London for £25 pp?

[MrDickie]

Forgot Nandos…Needoo is the place to go.
Very East End but I promise that your taste buds will be blown away with the amazing flavours. Make sure you order the lamb chops or mixed grill for starters and byo plenty of cold beer.
I guarantee you will not spend over £25 a head either.

Haven't been to needoos but would definitely throw this one in the mix  http://www.tayyabs.co.uk/

DO NOT order a single curry... bloody awful!

DO - order tandoori hot starters, they just bring them out on sizzling boards, chops, tikkas, kebabs, salad, sauce, bread, and they will keep bringing them until you cry uncle, no expectation on you to order mains if you are spending freely (and the menu is very cheap)  BYO also.

In terms of remit "best possible place" -- is this highest end place possible for the money?  Oh no.  Is it a bit out the way?  Yup!  But £25pp you are going to eat like kings, just stick to the mixed tandoor dishes.

PS - did I mention don't order a curry?  Every time I have been with a group, someone always insists on ordering a curry, despite numerous recommendations not to.  To date, no such person has actually eaten their curry, but they all have coveted the 3 foot high pile of tandoori chicken balanced in the middle.

+4 to Tayabbs. Haven't been for a while but such good mixed grills.

Tayyabs is a great shout.  The Spanish place that Bobalike mentioned was actually the first one that came to my mind when i saw this thread assuming it is the same place I am thinking of.  It is very good authentic Spanish food.

That's the one. Square bar in the centre, with stools around it and tables round the walls.

WTF is this? Easy to go off people.

Went to Bodeans with claypole and free Rollin tonight, was good, a few of them in London, and was fairly cheap, well it was very cheap cos claypole paid, but it was cheap enough.
