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?

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.

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 ..

      This Wednesday 17th SEptember - National Demo Against Trump's State Visit

      By IlonaM · Posted

      In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
