A good evening with great company, 11 people came along to the Curry Cabin. It was good to see Dulwichmum who stopped by with her husband for drinks at the Adventure Bar. She looked lovely in the sack-cloth and ashes after her recent Jonathon Ross experience. I had Chicken Pakora to start and that was just piece of chicken tikka fried in batter and nothing to write home about. The Onion Bhaji that I did a swapsie with Lady Gooner for was light and flavoursome. My Lamb Tikka Dhansak was tough (the lamb not the lentils) although I sneaked a piece of Hannah6_6's Lamb Shank and that was tender and very tasty. My Sag Aloo seemed to be all Aloo and little Sag. I took a doggy bag home of Chicken Madras and Vegie Biriani, we will see what a day or so marinading in its spices does to the food. We paid ?24 each for starters, main course, sides, rice, nan, wine and beer - so good value, although with some reservations about the food. I havent rated Surma in the past as I have found the food rather unremarkable.
