19.2.17 Everest Tandoori

Visited Everest Tandoori in Tilehurst with our neighbours John and Chrissie. Evening started well.Crispy poppadums, delicious dips- mint, chutney, spicy carrot and onions. Warm ambiance.

Alan and John had chicken mom mo starters which although didn't look very appetising, I was assured they were quite nice.

Then the service became extremely slow. When the main meal came the plates were cold. the salad was disappointing but the portions were big. We had mints and complementary drinks to finish.

 7/10

5.2.17 Blue Ginger

Decided to return to Blue Ginger for the first time for a long time following our disappointing last visit. the photo is of Alan checking the booking. he had booked online to the correct restaurant with the correct address and phone number but there is a glitch in the system that sends all the online bookings on to a similarly named restaurant in Bristol!
Thankfully, the food was a lot better than last time but not quite up to the previously consistent standard of 9. I gave an 8 and Alan a 7 1/2
