Yup, it's a pretty decent BIR. Portions are on the small side, The restaurant is a little small and 'romantic' and off the beaten path, not too far form kings cross st. pancras.

We booked a table for 5, but there were only 4 people in the restaurant the entire time. It's indeed a little gem. Everything I tried was nice, perhaps the small remark is that I'm used to fresh tandoori food and this was the typical reheated pieces of tikka, etc. All in all, I'd eat here again.

Many thanks for your very interesting and helpful review. It may have been a while ago but it's no less interesting. For him to have made

Unless by PM you mean "public message", you must have me confused, or perhaps you need to visit a specsavers as I haven't sent you any message privately - in fact, had I not authored this topic, I wouldn't even bother to read your message as you are in the ignore list for quite a few months now. But please, make it public. Get that out of your system.  ::)

As it is apparently old news, or "second hand news", both loveitspicy and ivan888, members of the other forum, certainly may have also noticed that I kept postponing the publishing of the review because I spent 3 months preparing for interviews, or as I sometimes called it 'tough exams', but this is not second hand news, right?  ::)

Posting the review was delayed until the 31st of January of the following year. There are things that have taken more precedence than writing a review of a training course. We both had already explained, back in November, that the training at Kushi was a fiasco in comments before the review was published, but I felt the need to provide a lengthy story, just so it doesn't come across as slander without facts to back it up and also for the inside perspective. After I posted my write up elsewhere, I was under the impression that Bob would write his own review of the training, using his own wording and view points, so I didn't bothered to post mine here. As it didn't happen, I pinged him recently if he would be OK with posting this here too and he agreed.

So, in short: It is a scam, whether it is late news for you or not. I also don't think I need to title this as "scam", as the review speaks for itself.

I suppose it's my prerogative when and where I publish information, regardless of my intents which I am entitled to omit and/or include if I so feel like. Now that that is out of the way, I am glad you are observant and understand I went on hiatus on this community, while I have remained active elsewhere. One doesn't need to go to a different topic to find out reasons for why I have not felt like participating here.

I can give you specifics without bothering myself to find the topics in which this occurred: I created a post where I was keeping my progress, in the form of a log. I'd normally post there my progress on trying to crack a jalfrezi and bombay aloo, instead of bombing new topics in the pictures section, given the rate at which I was cooking curries at the time and which would potentially drag out some of the other members pictures from the frontpage - I really didn't wanted to be in that position, I was more interested in my journey than on featuring the frontpage and it was important for me to keep a log while leveraging from feedback and/or opinions from other members of this community. You have been very forthcoming in noticing and because you are the leader of this community, you felt entitled to post a comment stating that "cr0 was turning to be a blogging platform" in your own wording in some follow-up comment in a different thread, which, again I am not bothered to try and find;  Garp has been on a number of occasions very forth coming in trolling every comment I make on here as well. I take it as a personal compliment in that he finds I am worth his time and effort, even though his comments suggest otherwise. Fair play.  ::)

So, yeah, that may shed some light into my decisions to be absent. And with regards to where I started or who helped me, that is besides the point, too.

I think you are going off-topic there. If you would like to know why this has been posted elsewhere and only posted here now, feel free to send me a private message and I will be happy to clarify accordingly. This has been posted here for widespread of information on a scam curry training that myself and Bob have been victims of.

As some of you may know, Bengali Bob and I went on a training course that turned out to be a fiasco. The lengthy post that follows is just a review of the training as offered by Muhammed Ali Haydor at Kushi Birmingham, a well reputed BIR/Balti chef and a little bit of story.

Sometime in October 2013, I called Ali (aka Mohammed Ali Haydor, of the

That is certainly akin of fine dining BIR! Not too shabby. Now that I know where you live, don't be too surprised if you find yourself among uninvited guests! ;-)

Your midnight snacks could very easily fit an upstreet curry house's menu. I like the idea on using unripe mangoes. :)
