Thank you for the address and phone number, which helped me to find some web pages of interest ahead of a hoped-for visit. I'm puzzled, though. Indications are that it opened in 2007 and several reviews talk about authentic dihes not found in your typical BIR, like following one from Feb 2007:

Do you or anyone else at this forum know of this restaurant, in Nottingham, I think they said?
Regards
George

Sorry George, I don't actually know this place
I believe it's in the town centre
I'm not happy going down there, these days
Things have got too rough

Anyone ever read the Tandoori magazine. Is it any good?

I subscribed to Tandoori for two years
I thought I might get some "inside" recipes
No luck
It does have recipes but these are upmarket new style curries
No mention of curry gravies
So I wrote to the editor (not Pat)
They were very pleasant but didn't really know much about cooking
I seem to remember that they thought most subscribers would know the "basics"
The magazine is packed with catering adverts
If you are interested, I have noticed that a lot of takeaways have a copy of the magazine in the seated area
Have another look, you might be lucky

HI,

I think the short verbal attack on the poor
young lad was disgraceful.

I will never buy any of his books.

Graeme.

I think the short verbal attack on the poor
young lad was disgraceful.

I agree. I wonder if not only the restuarant owners (employers) but also each and everyone of their staff have to sign a disclaimer that they are happy to be sworn at and told by an expert (GR) that they are useless at their jobs - all in public, in front of millions of viewers. For those episodes where the chefs have their work 'rubbished', how could they ever find another job? But can you sign away your rights? I mean, if someone signed a form to say they didn't mind sexual innuendo and harrassment in an office, would that make it OK and beyond the law?

[Graeme]

Spot On George,

I don?t think you can sign your rights away.

it's is up the Police to collect evidence (tv prog)
and then its given to the Crown P Service,
they now decide on any action.

I dont think the people involved have control either way,
they may have a say in the form of a statement.

If I was to hit you coz your curry was better then mine.
I don?t think you take me to court. The cps does (i think).
Even if you become my mate again and buy me lots of cobra
its still out of our hands so to speak.

would this come under corporate law then ? Anyone!

You would have thought the young lad and others
would have the right to see the prog and object.

Anyway on this occasion the joke was out of line,
but good for the production company as its got attention.

I also think he got a make over wrong big time a few weeks ago.

[Graeme]

Oh flip
I should not be down here, sorry.

I thought Gordon was positively subdued in this episode compared to what he usually deals out. The man's an out and out bully and that sort of behaviour anywhere other than in a restaurant kitchen, where for some reason it sems to be accepted,  would be grounds for instant dismissal. He was brutalised by his father as a kid and it seems like it has rubbed off on him.

[George]

Is it not up to Crown P Service - and not the
people involved to decide to take action.

I'm glad we all semm to agree on this. But, Graham, as a minor point, did you mean to say it IS up to the CPS?

Actually, it should be but I'm not sure it is. Like in your example, if you hit me, I thought I could say I didn't want to press charges, and then the Police would do nothing, and it wouldn't get anywhere near the CPS. I'm not sure.

TV in the 2000s concerns me a bit, in how it must rub off on children as an acceptable and normal way to behave. Other examples are The Weakest Link and the X Factor where people are told how bad they are, with no holds barred. I mean, in normal society, I always thought that was plain bad manners. But is this anything to do with Labour, like the Tories got 'blamed' in the 80s for a culture where everyone wanted to do well and drive a Porsche! They still do, and always have, so I don't know how such opinions get entrenched.

[Graeme]

Hi,

Sorry about the error, must be the Christmas spirit :-)
i have corrected it now George.
