hi all was just wondering what had happened to our beloved sight for the last few days as i was not abel to log on ? any can shed some light on to it for I'm a incredably nosey git Ty ( Ivan)

took a Trip a long to curried away (19 Forbes road PE210pd Boston Linc's ) with my lady wife last night (16/03/13) a nice little place only as the 2 tables to dinne in at that I'm aware of . staff were very polite and gave us a warm welcome got to have a word with Adey a very nice chap to meet .we ordered starters of stuffed mushrooms (stuffed with a mix of keema and chopped chicken tikka) and onion bhaji the mushroom i had were very tastey , tried some of the wife's onion bhaji that was exalent. for main coarse thehad a new dish to me called chicken bohemian , bit like a korma come cross tikka Marsala with flaked almonds lychee's in it finished with a whirl of cream , Mrs loved it far to sweet for my taste but the chicken in it was fantastically tender . i went for a lamb Kari with extra fresh chillies ,was a nice dish the spicing of it was spot on, shared a lovely peshwari naan, top class naan bred.  the wife went for pilau rice that tasted amazing and i tried the plain boiled basmati which was fantastically cooked , both shared a mushroom bhaji side dish which was cooked well to. portions are very generous service exalent . to score  out of 10 i think a 9/10 is what i would give curred away. a full 10 / 10 i would give if the papper napkins where exchanged for linening 1s , but that's just my preference lol. all in all i would recomend a visit and shall certainly be going back again in the near future.
