Synopsis
Amid an identity crisis and after having a row with her father, Indo-Scotswoman Nina leaves home. Peace and tranquillity is short-lived when she receives news that her father has died and that she must return home to run the family curry house. With the Best Of The West curry competition heating up and a romance with her father’s former business partner brewing, Nina must pull out all the stops if she is to win both of the prizes she covets. A heart-warming comedy with a spicy flavour.

SPICY BUT NOT TOO HOT!
This is just such a gentle romantic comedy. A feel-good movie which I would recommend to anyone who loves such films as 'Imagine Me and You', and 'Love Actually'. It has plenty humour, as well as more tender, moving moments.

Fun and frisky
Great feelgood film, nice performances from the female leads and a tasty smattering of humour. As with 'Imagine Me and You', I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this movie was and the way in which the director took heavy issues and lightened then like a souffle! (Get used to food metaphors if you're going to buy it)

Heavenly delight!
Lovely film!

It is sweet and tender, funny, camp and just great. It has a Bollywood flavour but it is also firmly in the chick flick, rom-com mould too.

As has been said, if you liked "Imagine me and you" then you will love this too. Shelley Conn is just wonderful, I adored her in the BBC's recent "Mistresses" and she is simply gorgeous. Laura Fraser is good too and the two of them are excellent together.

The supporting cast are great. the younger sister is perfectly pitched, a funny character and Art Malik (why do I keep thinking Smeeta Smitten, Showbiz Kitten?) puts in a dignified performance.

It is a sweet fantasy, coming out is rarely as easy as this but there is one truth hidden away inside this film. Your Mum always does really know.

It is nice to see happy "girl gets girl" endings too, more positive lesbian images are just what we need.

Almost heavenly
This cooking extravaganza with a lesbian twist has all the ingredients of a good film and the two leading ladies, Shelley Conn as Nina and Laura Fraser as Lisa, are delicious together. Very enjoyable.

A little gem
Nina's Heavenly Delights(2006)is a cracking little gem. Laura Fraser and Shelly Conn provide a superb and believable preformance. I discovered this film by accident on a movie channel, and just got totally engrosed. It is a clever mix of Bollywod Meets Scotland. The soundtrack is clever too. Lots of well known songs amid unknown tracks with a clever asian influence. I am not at all a bollywd fan. Bride and Prejudice was so bad I could only watch 20 mins before turning it off. But this film is a good mix. Its also about time that more Asian gay folk are recognised in main stream and given a voice. The character 'Bobby' is entertaining. I just enjoyed it emencely.Its light hearted with an intense love story - infact a few love storys!
