Ruby's Lounge, Mirfield
On the spur of the moment we fancy a Ruby Murray. This place is new but very near home so we give it a go. Alternatives which we know and love are 10 miles away in Bradford but cheap and well tried.
Nice atmosphere, stark but modern decor (whereas the Kashmir in Bradford doesn't do decor) and an interesting menu which is freely available on the web (Kash doesn't do web).
Pickle tray with some ferocious lime pickle, sizzler, pint of beer and half of cider. All nicely served. Hashnaji Lamb and a dish called pride of Yorkshire (fairly hot) which was chicken, lamb and rhubarb in a special sauce. Both rather good. 6 chapatis and that's it.
It was much more upmarket than Bradford and the price reflected it. £7-20 for a pint and a half of beer rather than BYO; pickle tray and 2 popadums £3-10. Total was £32 and I had a strange feeling that I'd been overcharged. I asked if they did an early bird but they said no.
Good for taking friends out but not quite popping out for a cheap and cheerful Keema and mushroom with 3 chapatis for £4-50
