Cheers mate, i really appreciate it, its all down hill after 30....ha ha
Ill be out in Holborn after work tommorrow, i dont know the area that well yet but we are determined to find a decent curry house....if anyone has any suggestions.....post them up.

Stew

Stew, I know it is not Indian but is this fantastic Thai restaurant in Holborn (Theobalds Rd behind Adastral House). It was run by a Thai family and they provided food of all different varieties, including Mega-Hot. I ran a megabucks-project from Adastral House and that restaurant was our preferred noshing venue, despite us being Indian curry lovers.

Failing that, why not try the Indian restaurant (not far)

India Club Restaurant
143 Strand
London, WC2R 1JA

Suoerb original curries and good real Indian beer, in a rustic Indian atmosphere.  I believe it is an offshoot of the Indian Embassy.  It is also a hotel.  Marvellous, but only open lunchtimes to 3pm I think, and then open evenings.  Also try Brown's in Old St afterwards for a good finish to the meal :.  Just have a bloody good birthday

Have a good one Stew 

Thanks again,

Went to a Morrocan Joint in Covent Garden - Souk Medina excellent atmosphere, great food...not spicy though.
If your in London well worth a visit just for the decor alone www.soukrestaurant.co.uk
We also tried a "Hubbly Bubbly" smoking thing, which i have to say is great fun.
