Do you eat at Tamasha? Best Indian around these parts by a margin, I reckon. Plus, Kenny Sansom used to live upstairs.Originally Posted by Maravilloso Marvo

I prefer Indian Essence in Petts Wood, Atul Kochhar's place. They do a great tasting menu for £30pp on a Monday which is really great value, if you can get past having a curry on a Monday night.
Oh yes, I keep meaning to try that and I keep forgetting.
Is that ridiculously good sushi place still there?
Yes. But sushi is a lunchtime dish and they only do take away at lunchtime. So fúck them.
I thought our League Cup winning left back was last seen living in a park surrounded by empty wine bottles.
I really wish the club would sort it out. We can afford to pay current players 350k a week, but we can't afford £200 to rent a former skipper a one bed in Hackney. Disgrace.
The real tragedy there of course was that he was drinking Mateus Rosé.
God, I'd forgotten that bit. Must have blanked it out. I didn't even know they still make the stuff.
As you can imagine, I frequented some really run-down offies in search of my Spesh, but I'm sure I haven't seen a bottle of Mateus Rose since the '80s. They all have vile Californian pîss, but none have stooped as low as MR.
I recently went for an Indian meal with a couple who were keen to show us their local.. as the poppadams were being served, amid a great shoulder of winking and grinning, the waiter proudly displayed the bottle. "Your special wine as usual madam!" She was positively squealing with delight.
Yes, it was Mateus Rosé.
I drank it. Fúck it, I have no pride.
When you say recently, did you mean 42 years ago?
p.s. a Dennis Bergkamp of grills? It could turn a Greggs sausage roll into a 3* plate of food.
