Spice Guru, Reigate

Thursday 13^th June 2013

was my birthday last week so the missus and I visited Spice Guru in Reigate to celebrate.  The first thing you notice when approaching the restaurant is the funky signage which looks surprisingly old-school for such a posh area.

Jail Time for Curry Con Man

Following on from hair-gate at curry club last week - when curryspondent Murali found a hair in his lamb samosa – a man has been jailed for trying to get a free curry by putting pubic hair on the remains of his lamb bhuna!

The Papadom, Bickley

.

Though reasonably close to the town centre,  Bickley isn't an area of Bromley that is especially familiar to most of the club and few of us were even aware of this restaurant, so this was definitely uncharted territory.

Asha Tandoori, Hayes

Wednesday 15^th May 2013

Round 5 of the 2013 curry season took place last week at Asha Tandoori, in Hayes.  This quiet area of Bromley is not to be confused with Hayes in Middlesex which strangely enough, also has an Indian restaurant called ‘Asha Tandoori’.

Hayes’ small High Street on Station Approach, has three curry houses and to be blunt, Asha is the poor relation.

This week saw another successful meeting of the CCB, this time at Village Cuisine, Farnborough. The evening was a very good one and, although only four Connoisseurs were present, by the end of the meal there did seem to be a general opinion among us that the food and service had clearly been above average.

Spice Society, Beckenham

Wednesday 3rd April 2013

Another week, another curry house for the CCB as we visited the highly rated Spice Society in Beckenham.  Established in 2000 and recently expanded, the restaurant has a relaxed ambience and understated glamour.

Blue Bengal, West Wickham

The latest curry outing fell on a special week for me personally as my wife had just given birth to our son Louis,  so this curry club meeting also served to ‘wet the baby’s head’!
