Topic: Viceroy Brasserie Abbots Langley: Chef Imram

[DalPuri]

I've watched all the videos.
All i can say is they must have the best gravy recipe in the world because the chef and his final dishes look dreadful.

Also some of the pans aren't being cleaned between curries which doesn't really bother me, but might do for some.

I am ambivalent about that.  A freshly-used pan is essentially sterile, so I would not be concerned about cross-contamination, and if the two dishes are compatible spice-wise then I would do the same and not wash between.  I was rather more concerned with the fact that the dishes and pan look as if they haven't had a scour for months !

That place is a complete dump, discusting
im reluctant to have takeaways these days as the last one i had had a finger nail in it.

I must admit that the execution and presentation of the omelette was terrible but the recipe looks good though, don't you think?

Your post makes it sound like you've been there. Have you?

It also makes it sound like you found a finger nail in a takeaway from the Viceroy. Was it from there?

If not, I feel your post is hardly fair. You should have said it looks like a dump from the video, if that's your opinion.Unless that place has suddenly gone downhill since the last time I visited, perhaps 18 mths ago, I can confirm that the dining room and service are perfectly acceptable, and the food even better. My friends agreed.

yes your right looking at the video its a dump, would you really want to eat there knowing the kitchens looks like that on the video? i know i wouldnt!

The Jalfrezi/Prawn Puri vid shows more of the kitchen (and the chef).  All looks pretty good to me.  I'd be happy with that trolley shown at the end of the vid being wheeled out to my table.  And the naan looks to die for!

base pan was loasy so was the cooking range, total disgrace, needs leaving out for the scrap man!

Thanks for posting Rob.  Enjoyed watching them all.  Would love to see some of the many standard dishes being cooked.  As for the "state" of the kitchen, i think there many up and down the country like it and i dare say there are probably plenty a lot worse . I hope to see more videos from them.
