Amaya

Right next door to real ale pub The Lincolnshire Poacher, Amaya is possibly the best, and best value budget curry house in Nottingham. Boasting a complete lack of a licence to sell alcohol, this place allows, nay encourages people to bring their own booze. A couple of doors down is an off-​licence where you can stock up.
Amaya usually has a deal on for about £10, which includes poppadums, a starter, main course, rice or naan bread. You can pay an extra £1 for mixed meat dishes, or £2 extra for king prawn. The food here is of a quality that reflects a more expensive restaurant. It is always flavoursome, portions are large, and usually they get the level of spiciness right.
I’ve only had one experience here that wasn’t great, when we had a looong wait between courses which I believe was due to some equipment failure in the kitchen. Apologies were offered eventually and a 10% discount given, so fair play.
Amaya is just what Mansfield Road, and Nottingham has been crying out for for a long time now. Quality curry at a budget price, one that is low enough for you not to mind when you end up leaving half of it because you’re too drunk to eat it all at the end of a night out.
