Bring your own at Jaflong

Oh for fuck's sake 'breaks' what planet are you on?!

Regardless of your very poor sense of humour I am not suggesting anything other than IF I wanted to drink then I should probably do it somewhere where the owner has not expressed his anti-booze feelings for religious or whatever other reason any more than I would scoff a big mac staring in the window of the blue cafe or juggle pork pies outside a synagogue.

It's already been pointed out that one can have a perfectly good curry experience without alcohol and I would rather do that now that he has these feelings - stop trying to imply some anti-religious angle.

General question: when I was in my twenties I'd gladly neck any and all complimentary shots offered at curry bill time to make me feel special. Is it a sign of age when you start turning the bad brandy, generic brand cointreau down?

Second question: has anyone ever had the weird frozen coloured dessert at a curry house?

[KidKruger]

Not a sign of age possibly a sign of developing taste / discernment.

The frozen 'ice creams' are mass-produced gunk.

The kulfi, a kind of Indian subcontinent ice-cream, can on occasion be OK.

Gordon Bennett - Yes I read all your post! I said "a few bottles"!!!

If someone wants a small glass of wine, they can either take a screw top bottle and take out of it what they want, or take one of those tiny bottles of wine.

If someone wants a brandy or a liqueur, they can either take some in a small bottle or take the whole bottle and take the rest home.

Those options would be included in "a few bottles"!!

My reference to Cobra was a separate issue relating to the change to BYO and the difference it will make to the bill!!

Do you mean the ubiquitous ice-cream stuffed orange/lemon/coconut? I honestly don't know why they sell that crap, surely nobody buys it. Especially when proper Indian desserts can be so tasty.

Regarding the BYO argument... it's beyond me why anyone would actually want Cobra/Kingfisher, it's just generic bog standard lager. And if you want wine... buy a ?5 bottle and take the rest home. Liqueur coffee is a tougher one, but I can't imagine many people missing it.

Ate at Jaflong again last night with some friends.Food was excellent and we saved loads by bringing our own nice wine.A mate bought along a bottle of Armangac which went down rather nicely after dinner

[DulwichFox]

Was at Jaflong last night.. Was very busy....

I had 2 Poppodams .. Mushroom Rice .. Chicken Madras with added Green Chillies.. Peshwari Naan.

All of which were cooked to perfection.

Have been a couple of times since Jaflong stopped selling alcohol and the food has been very good on each occasion.

There was a few problems before Christmas but all is fine at the moment.

Well worth a return visit if you have stayed away.

I choose not to take my own alcohol and drink water. I often just drink water anyway with my Indian meal.

Of course you can still take your own alcoholic drinks if you so wish.

Give them a go.. You will be pleasantly surprised ..
