My favourite Indian restaurant is TOB , formerly Taste of Bengal in High Street , Standish , Wigan. The restaurant is small but the food is sublime. The best I have tried and that is a lot. Also they do a special offer 6 course meal which is fantastic value for money. That is NOT why I have recommended it.
