Stumbled upon this and assumed it would be the usual expensive, London-centric thing, then looked to see if I knew any of then from outside the capital.

Turns out I have even been in one of them! - even if it only Adil's in Sparkbrook.

I've been there too, Jack.

Is that the one where you have to take your own drink as they don't have a licence?

Yes, you certainly used to be able to take your own - similar to many in the Balti area.  It was a long time ago that I went there and they have probably spruced it up a bit now, but they used to have the menu under the glass on the tables. 

Another heavily curried area being Lye.

I clicked on two restaurants that are near to where I work, and both seem to have gone out of business. That article was only published in April.

Without even looking that's incredibly subjective.
I've had fantastic meals from my local indian, completely unimpressed by whatever has been tossed my way by posh chef types.

.. sh*t I suddenly want to eat curry :)
