We first became aware of the Pakeezah Food2Go concept first simply through word of mouth, then through visiting the in-store eateries. Although kind of glorified supermarket cafes, the Pakeezah Food2Go ones were excellent. Pre-made curry heated up, but with fresh bread and grilled stuff. An excellent idea.

| Curry Deli Counter |
So, now, the new Food2Go cafe is now open on Manningham Lane, and has taken the original supermarket cafe a step further... basically by ditching the supermarket bit! On entering, a large deli style counter greats you immediately, and is stuffed full of say twenty ready made chilled curries! These can be either bought and taken home or heated and eaten in. Great stuff. Then behind are the tandors and grill etc. At one end (see picture above) are a few chiller and freezer cabinets with other stuff such as lassi, dips, chutneys, etc. No sweet counter though I noticed?

| Samosa Chat |
For this, our what I'm sure is going to be the first of many visits, we popped in for a basic nosy and a quick dinner, so rather than one of the tasty looking full blown curries, me and the Mrs went for our favorite Samosa Chat. It was fantastic here as it always was - not that was any reason it wouldn't be. Now presented on trendy rectangular platters, it remained the same very tasty crushed samosas smothered in chickpea and potato curry, yogurt and sour tamarind. I went for hot - so in addition had a generous scattering of chili and raw onion, and BANG! It was hot! Brilliant. We also had lassi and a Falooda. Izzy had chips. TUT!
So if you've not ever been to the Pakeezah cafes in the supermarkets before, then now there is no excuse. They really are worth a go. Not a restaurant experience, but very good quality, plenty of variety, and brilliant value for money. You can eat your dinner then take home another meal for your tea! Double bonus.
