I MADE a mistake at my latest visit to a curry house in High Wycombe. I ate too many poppadums. I just can't get enough of the things and while absent mindedly picking at them while talking to my friend I overindulged which led to me struggling with the rest of the meal at Bombay Palace.

Poppadums are my favourite part of a meal at an Indian restaurant. I love the crispy, fried discs of salty goodness and the ones at the restaurant in Crendon Street did not disappoint.

I was particularly pleased as there was a choice of five dips, including my favourite- mango chutney. Poppadums are 50p each.

The restaurant is very spacious with subtle décor and we were seated next to the window by the friendly staff.

For starters I went for the mixed kebab (£4.95), which was chicken tikka, lamb kebab, shish kebab and an onion bhaji.

It was well presented with a touch of chilli and tamarind sauce at the end of the rectangular plate, along with a fresh salad.

The chicken tikka was by far my favourite- a delightful cube of tender, garlicky chicken. The lamb kebab was also very succulent and the meaty shish kebab was tasty, yet a bit salty. I really liked the onion bhaji, which was flat, crispy and not at all greasy.

My friend, Lara, went for the Monk Fish Tikka (£4.95), which was also nicely served with four cubes of the tender fish, delicately spiced.

For the mains I had the lamb rohani (£7.75), which was lovingly described on the menu as a yummy flavoured barbecued tossed garlic and tomato with medium creamy sauce.

Anything which has yummy in the description wins me over. It had a strong garlic flavour with a wonderfully mild sauce with slithers of crunchy vegetables in it.

Along with this I shared a pulao rice and a meaty keema naan (£2.25), which was delicious.

The staff treated us to a special dish, which they described as a roast chicken, and is cooked on special family celebrations.

It was delicious- I love the leg meat on chicken as I always find it more flavoursome- and it was served with a very creamy, tomato sauce, which had a smooth consistency.

Lara went for the Lamb Passander (£7.75). She said it was a good alternative to her usual choice of Chicken Tikka. She had it with a lovely fluffy garlic naan (2.25), which she could not stop eating.

My trousers were feeling rather tight now and the staff kindly offered to put some of the remainder in containers, which we appreciated. The service charge is added on the bill at the end, which I know can be a sticking point for some people.

This is a good curry house and one I would recommend- just make sure you ease off on the poppadums.
