We last visited this restaurant almost two years ago, and then we wrote: "Overall, one of the finer curries that the city has to offer - right up there in the Premier League..." Well, we wouldn't be so lavish with the praise this time, but it's still a good restaurant, with a pleasant, laid-back ambience, which every self-respecting curry fan should give a go. The service is fast and friendly.

We kicked off with onion bhaji (£1.00), Potato bhaji (£1.50), mushroom bhaji (£1.80), and chicken bhaji (£2.00) - the same prices, it must be noted, as two years ago. We enjoyed them - the batter on the first three was crisp and highly spicy, and though the mushrooms were of the sliced variety, and not whole and succulent as in some establishments, they were still of a high quality. The chicken bhaji were a little disappointing, the batter being soggy.

I had mushroom and spinach as my main dish, an above average, medium hot dish - my only complaint being the rather tasteless tinned mushrooms. The dall dhansak was enjoyed, the dall firm and tasty, and the overall dish not over-sweet as in some dhansaks. The chicken dhansak contained good quality chicken, was highly-spiced and again not too sweet.

The fare scored lower this time round, and perhaps wasn't as exceptional as when we last visited - but the meal was still highly enjoyable, and just as cheap as two years ago. (The coffee, it must be said, was as poor as ever.) They do not serve barfi etc, but they had no objections to our buying a selection from the curry house next door and eating them with the coffee.

(All dishes are served with either three chapattis or rice.)

The Silver Jubilee is a long-established restaurant away from the town centre that has always had the distinction of serving excellent curries. The chefs have come and gone, bringing their own characteristic variations to the dishes, but over the years the standard has remained constantly high. We'd eaten here about six months ago, before the birth of the Bradford Curry Guide, and had a fine meal: we were not disappointed this time.

We began with onion bhaji (£1.00), Potato bhaji (£1.50), and mushroom bhaji (£1.80). Despite being on the expensive side, the quality was high, and though one of our party criticised the mushroom bhajis for being bland, everyone else enjoyed them thoroughly.

We were in for a treat when the main dishes arrived twenty minutes after we'd ordered. There was not a dud dish among the eight different curries: meat-eaters and vegetarians alike were satisfied. My dall garlic was superb, rich and full-flavoured without being too hot. The veg jalfrezi and veg rogan josh (unlike last week at the Westgate) were clearly individually prepared and distinctly different. The spinach and chick pea dopiaza was not actually on the menu, but another plus point is the restaurant's willingness to combine dishes. Several of us were teetering on the verge of awarding nine point - but that would have been just too generous.

The restaurant itself is spacious and atmospheric without having that over-the-top Eastern ambience fostered by some establishments. Our only criticism was of the coffee, of the dishwater variety - but then you can't have everything.

Overall, one of the finer curries that the city has to offer - right up there in the Premier League with the Kashmir.

(Each dish comes with rice or three chapattis.)
