Takeaway that's so good even Gordon Ramsay swears by it

He may be more used to the best food in his Michelin-starred restaurants, but chef Gordon Ramsay enjoys the odd curry on the sofa.

And here is the takeaway cook chosen to feed his family.

Madhav Bhujel, 38, who runs the Bombay Bicycle Club delivery kitchen in Battersea, appears to have met Ramsay's exacting standards.

There have been no expletive-filled complaints down the phone, just politely placed Sunday evening orders. Favourites include chicken murgh masala and lamb saag gosht, both of which cost less than £8.

Mr Bhujel said: "I never know who I'm cooking for at the time but I don't get nervous thinking that the Ramsays are sampling my food. I'm confident it's good. It's a great honour to be appreciated by such a highly regarded chef."

Tana Ramsay told the latest issue of the London Magazine that the Bombay Bicycle Club was a local favourite. "It has to be from the Battersea one though, that's the best," she said.

The Ramsays' home is slightly outside the Queenstown Road branch's normal delivery zone but it was happy to make an exception. Operations manager Nischient Sharma said: "They are good customers, ordering at least once a month, often on a Sunday night."

Like many of the other chefs, Mr Bhujel moved to Britain from Nepal, where he worked in five-star restaurants.

The Little Venice branch of the Bombay Bicycle Club has received orders from Jamie Oliver, Keira Knightley and Kelly Osbourne, said managing director Rob Kemp.

He added: "All of the firm's chefs are sent to train in Battersea under Mr Bhujel because he is know to demand nothing but the best from his staff. The Battersea branch is the most pressurised to work in.

"But Madhav runs a tight ship. I suppose he's a bit of a tyrant like Gordon Ramsay because he has high standards. But there's never any swearing - in any language."
