19.12.15 Gurkha Chef Newbury

Last night we visited Gurkha chef Newbury. Food is an interesting twist on traditional Indian meals.  I had a shashlik rather than a dry chiken tikka. The dips were a lovely consistency, not too thick and not too runny. Food delicious.  Interestingly we had one cracker to share so I ended up with the hat and Alan ended up with the joke.We were in the back room where the decor  and atmosphere is lacking. This has led to a 7 rather than and 8 out of 10 for the experience.





12.12.15 Indigo Bay Newbury

Following the St Nic's carol service, we visited Indigo Bay. We have been here several times. The decor is bright and light. There has been a big turnover of staff, the new ones still in training!  the dips were a little stratchy. The main meal was good   enough, nothing outstanding. 6/10

5.12.15 Indian Lounge Newbury

Out to the cinema to see the latest Bond film followed by a visit to The Indian Lounge in Newbury.
Everything was greasy including the bill!
Poppadums were acceptable but it ended there. The chairs were uncomfortable. The door kept blowing open  The music didn't add to the experience. Everything we ate- the onion baji, the chicken tikka and the jalfrezi were all very greasy. The hot napkins were thrown on the table. Couldn't wait to get out of there. I'll give them a 1 for the poppadums. Will not be returning.

30.11.15 Blue Ginger

Back to our favourite Indian Restaurant in Whitchurch. Out with our neighbours. Food didn't dissappoint. Delicious. Good service. 9/10 . Coke a little flat.

Easily the best of the 40 or so Indian restaurants we have visited
