Curry Club - Thursday 7 March 2019 - venue TBC

[Michael Palaeologus]

See you this evening!!

[Floating Onion]

Looking forward to it!

I'll be there, not sure if I confirmed or not.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Great to see everybody yesterday.

11 people sat down for a curry at Curry Cabin. The food was a little variable, some enjoyed their food, some did not. The waiting service was equally variable and became increasingly amusing.

The atmosphere became rather smokey, down to a "gas leak" we were told, which was a comfort. We were not going to allow impending doom to spoil our meal.

As we left it became apparent why things had been haphazard. It was Curry Cabin's last night, the owner retiring and the place shutting down. Foxy had a bottle of Martini Rosso pushed into his hand because he is that kind of man.

Curry Cabin was established in 1970, it says so above the door. That was a good run and I am glad that Curry Club was there to say farewell.

I was there and nobody told me any of this :(

Most things go over my head any way. I was going to complain about the men's toilets which were a disgrace. Hardly matters now.

I had a great meal last night...All my food was lovely. It was a bit chaotic..

There is a notice on the door this morning saying the place needs to be emptied by 16th Feb.

I Spoke to the owner this morning who confirmed they were closing down.

He was 16 ? when I first starting using the place in 1971/2

Will be sadly missed. Was my Restaurant of choice for take away due to the proximity of my gaff.

You are a sensitive soul and so we kept the sad news from you. Anyway, the toilet issue might have been me.

I had thought that, but was too polite to say. Possibly explains the ?gas leak? too.

Unfortunately there's a notice on the door now saying the building has been repossessed.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Sorry.

[jimbo1964]

Shame. I think I remember it opening. My friend Michael Boult lived in the sweetshop next door but one. I went there for the first (and last time) about a month ago.

Sorry to hear that the Cabin is closing down, I liked it there. Did the owner say what was happening to the place?

[evea]

Yikes!

[Sue]

The last time we went to the Curry Cabin (and at one time it was our local Indian restaurant of choice) the reason given for a meal that let's say was not up to their previous standards was that the chef was drunk :))

It was all a bit Fawlty Towers :))

[cidersioux]

I remember it opening aswell Jimbo the first curry restaurant In East Dulwich and the first one I had seen... I also know Micheal Boils went to Primary school with him

[Michael Palaeologus]

So, anybody fancy a curry in March?

[Mick Mac]

Yes of course.....

[BrandNewGuy]

Yep

[DulwichFox]

[Michael Palaeologus]

[Mick Mac]

Is that in March, as promised?

[evea]

Yes, thanks.

I was up very early this morning, it has been cold all day and I am in Godalming.

Slips of the mind should be forgiven.

29 March. How's that?

[Mick Mac]

I'd hope to be able to make it - yes thanks Mike.
