Curry Club - Thursday 7 March 2019 - venue TBC

[Floating Onion]

I can only do the 17th. I haven't been for ages, but Dulwich Tandoori has always been a good place to eat in the past.

[hibbs]

17th works for me. Tx

[Michael Palaeologus]

It looks like its 17/7 at the ED Tandoori then.

[georgia]

17th ok for me

[AllyCat]

I'd be up for this one too!

[Marmora Man]

Is this open to all comers - may I join your club?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Everything is for all comers! Would be good to see you there m m

[Azul]

if I'm around, I'll show up with an empty stomach

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I can do Cowes with you Michael - it's all about the clothes darling.

[Marmora Man]

Regret 17th now clashes with my one and only chance to see Leonard Cohen live at the O2. Apologies to Curry Club but he's a better draw than Lamb Pasanda & naan.

PS: One ticket for LC available - but I paid ?160 for two!!

[Ladygooner]

See you there Marmora Man - although I think I would prefer to be at the curry night!

[Michael Palaeologus]

[AllyCat]

[Michael Palaeologus]

Well that was fun.

In attendance: Mr and Mrs Sean McG, Georgia and Mr Georgia, The Cat-Onions, Hibbs, Mrs Citizen ED and me.

The Dulwich Tandoori has been around for years and the signage and decor are of the good old fashioned curry house type, well maintained and rather comforting.

Service was very good, we were looked after well by the Head-waiter. I cannot remember his name as Hibbs dubbed him "Poppet" and that has rather lodged in my brain. He said that he was, within reason, willing to respond to any name.

Food was largely good. I had Prawn on Puri and some of an onion bhaji and both were tasty and of a good size. The Tandoori Chilli Ginger Garlic Chicken was very tasty and the Aubergine Bhaji was also good. The rice was .. rice although I found the nan bread rather stodgy.

A chicken madras dish was not brilliant, the sauce was rather bland and the chicken tasted as if it had been cooked separately and the dropped into the sauce immediatly before it came out of the kitchen, not coked in the sauce. This was described to Poppet who was mortified and organised a second portion as a freebie take-away and asked for feedback to be telephoned in at a conveient time.

We had some wine and beers although the draft Carlsberg was at the end of the barrel and tasted rather metallic, when this was pointed out it was replaced with bottled beer at no extra cost.

We finished with a round free digestifs courtesy of Poppet.

The bill came to ?20 each - no bad at all.

[KalamityKel]

I had tipped 'em off u lot were attending ;-) no male waiters in saris then? darn I tried!

[georgia]

Coriander for the next one?
