DEPA TANDOORI

First Impressions :

It's a men only restaurant or so it seems.

There is a party of comedy northern characters for our entertainment!

Starters :

The Papadums and pickle tray is below par.

The Bhajis arrive, announced by the orchestral hit from Stravinsky's Firebird suite! They must be great....they are not!

Mains: 

The Chicken Raga comes with a special watery sauce for that authentic taste of the river Thames!

The Lamb is straight out of Hammers, the horror of Frankenstein.. A comedy Horror, Kate O'Mara wouldn't be proud!  It's a mutation of fat soaked in a sauce that would only be suitable for embalming fluid! Pashwari lamb??!!

My stomach felt a bit uneasy after all this stress! A creepy mirrored toilet cubicle awaited with only a grubby hand towel to dry my hands!

The waiter's final word was that he wasn't a fan of Keyboard player Rick Wakeman, but he loved classical period music such as the Beatles!

The Verdict

Only recommended for fans of Frankenstein movies!

Likely to dine here :

Ant and Dec and the Halle orchestra.
