Just my opinion of course but Sangams always tastes like it's one big vat of the same sauce with your meat/vegetables of choice added, very underwhelming.
I don't eat that often in Stoke these days but have been to Mirchi in Shelton a few times with the in-laws and it's excellent.......

Ali’s Kitchen in Longton is fantastic, had a lamb tikka masala the other month and it was spot on.

So many options my friend.I have eaten curry alll my life and Im 59,Ive tried curry in the Uk from Cornwall to Inverness, Ive travelled to India on a few ocassions and eat curry at least twice a week every week. It all depends on what you like yourself traditionl/westernised/Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Afghan/Kurdish all of these are avaialable in North Staffs. Afghan = Afghan Palace =Dirt cheap and bob on feshly cooked food=Best value in potteries by a country mile.Best Tandoori Lamb chops too Kurdish = Kings as above little more expensive but similar to above.They dont do trad curry though but everything else =again very fresh Indian = Mariyas and Mirchi are about on a par,both do traditional south Indian styles dishes from Kerela = Both have faults but are certainly recommended for something different than your usual fare.Namaste(pricey) very good clean and modern.Never tried Oh India. Pakistani = Desi Moments Karahi House , Lahori Kebabish, New Royal Balti (the owner used to own Shalimar if anyone remenbers it )Bollywood good curries everything else poor. Buffet =Shaghir Express,very traditional and different. Bangladeshi = Ghandi (Fulford) Sapphire Dining is Bangla I think ,its very nice modern ,good service and the food is v good too.But its expensive for what you get portion wise. Im sure ive missed many recomendations off, but hope it helps.

Bilash in Newcastle was my fave when I lived up there.
London House Eccy not bad if you want to travel.
Crown of India Stone also a good un.
Oh India in Hanford also quite decent.
One to avoid, the one on A34 towards Stone...Fookin Shite

Just my opinion of course but Sangams always tastes like it's one big vat of the same sauce with your meat/vegetables of choice added, very underwhelming. I don't eat that often in Stoke these days but have been to Mirchi in Shelton a few times with the in-laws and it's excellent....... I was told by a Pakistani friend that that's the basics of a Bangladeshi curry ((poor man's food according to him))

Sangams taste as it does for the exact reason you give,all of the curries come from one blended stock/gravy.Madras same stock,Korma same stock.They aslo have no meat in their stock for obvious reasons.They are most certainly not alone in this,the vast majority of them do it this way. The best ones dont.

But if you want a decent curry full of flavour fir me it has to be South Indian every time, especially if you like a bit of heat....

There a really good one at the start of Cheetham Hill rd going towards Cheetham Hill on the right.Good pakistani food imo,Its called Chappati corner. www.google.com/search?q=Chappati+corner&rlz=1C1GCEA_enGB1069GB1069&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lpg=cid:CgIgAQ%3D%3D,ik:CAoSLEFGMVFpcE54Ym56UDBCTnB4NHJXNDBjdDVGWUZVbFRfYkZ6aV9CVEllMEgw

Got to be honest I love a curry but, living with a hiatus hernia I'm not overly adventurous. I enjoy Bangladeshi food very much too. I only ate with the guy once while we were on a set chaperoning our kids in Bolton....He was very rude to the staff of the restaurant....even slapping their hand when they went to take away our plates. Not sure if it was prejudice or just trying to show off infront of me.
