He's a top bloke for sure.I emailed him and asked if he could do a video of the chef making a chicken rezalla.He actually took the time to reply and confimed the next one up will indeed be a rezalla!!

Emailed him this morning about filming my TA and if he had said no I will come in for a meal and thank him for the videos and to say that our Forum are much appreciated of them.
Got a lovely reply saying You can Film what you want bring a friend and the meals on me . I arrive at the restaurant about 6.30pm
How nice 
I will insist on paying as he hasn't seen my order  ;D
I was thinking of going tomorrow or Friday does anyone want to join me as Natterjak is busy

Why not enjoy a sit down meal, rather than let the dishes potentially deteriorate a bit in the containers? How far away did you say you live? 30 mins?

I always prefer sit-down over take-away. Does anyone here feel the other way around and why?

[Micky Tikka]

A good hour George
Your right better to sit down but will have everyone waiting at home for their tea 
I might be able to nick a bit before they put the lids on while keeping a steady hand
on the camera

I too prefer a sit-down George as I like to make a bit of an evening of going for a curry. I got a voucher for my favourite restaurant in Dundee (The Malabar) for my Christmas and I am going to save it until the end of the month then have a jolly good night out!

I'm all for  a sit down any day.  I like the complete experience rather than just the food    That menu puts your stanadard menu to shame SL. A bit up market me thinks and quite pricey which must really hurt for a Scotsman  : I mean, the price of the boiled basmati 
Enjoy your evening out mate as well as the food.  Maybe you suggest a couple of options they need to include on their menu going forward  ;D

It's really good that you're prepared to take the effort of going over there. I look forward to hearing what you think. I hope the Viceroy is still up to the high standard of several years ago, when I last went. If you video your own food being made and then declare it tastes very good when you get home, at least you'll know that each video is of the precise dish you tasted.

He really is a nice chap. I asked him a question about naga chillies recently, and after a detailed reply he offered to send me some fresh nagas by post. I sent him my address, and really wasn't expecting to hear any more, but a few days later a parcel arrived containing about 30 lovely fresh nagas.

I'm about 75 miles from the restaurant, but the next time I'm heading up north I'll definitely make a detour to pop in, say hello, and have a meal.
