12.9.17 Sunderban Ammanford

Out with Elton.
Pop music when we arrived but change to authentic later
No tablecloth but a nice friendly atmosphere.
Poppadums OK, Dips included coconut
Elton had a chicken tikka starter and a Lahore Balti speciality, he felt the Balti wa snot authentic. I had chicken tikka main with extra garlic. It was served on sizzler. I'll avoid the extra garlic in the future but it was quite nice.
7/10



19.8.17 Himalayan hot spot Tilehurst

Napalese music playing. 48 covers. Childs birthday party going on.
Popadums average. Yogurt mint a little strange.Coke warm and flat but beer OK
Alan had meat Samosas for starter. Nice and meaty, above average.
Chicken tikka quite spicy, served on sizzler with salad. Alan's Himalayan jalfresi  was average.
The strange mint yogurt spoilt it a little.
Haphazard service.
After mints and a complementary drink
7/10 just!
