Re: Does anyone fancy a midwinter Melbourne curry night?
Tried the (other) Indian in Parkdale last night as a friend had recommended it and her and the kids had a sleep-over last night. It's called Mahan (sp) and don't think I'd be rushing back anytime soon. It wasn't BAD but didn't make me want to go back. The Onion bhajis mind you were the worst I have ever tasted in any country. Maybe it was the time of night we went it was first thing as we wanted to eat early then get back to our house for a good old natter (and wine ...not whine
).
The Sithara which is the other Indian in Parkdale is quite nice in my opinion - again I'm sure everywhere can have off days though.

OK clearly my original choice was the worst curry house in Bayside and we obviously caught them on a good night!
Let's go for this Zahia's in Balcombe road, August 2nd.
Would anyone like to eat earlier and bring kids? Or do we need to all find babysitters and have a later one?

Buzzy, don't feel like that at least you have made a pretty good effort to organise a curry night out. You shouldn't feel you have to explain your choice in food!!
Whenever we have people round for a meal or go out etc. We always say it's the company that's more important.
Good on you for sticking up your hand and organising something. You can't please all of the people all of the time remember!
Have fun! We'll pass as we've been here 5 years now and the kids are at the age we can leave them for an hour or so now so don't feel quite the need to go to everything. We'll be having a houseful the weekend after from the UK so we'll prob be decorating the last minute things in the house - oh joy!

Hi Simon, not for me with the kids - nothing against them but I don't have any and it also changes the dynamics of the evening IMO.

We're easy either way, we can do early and bring Harry, or get a sitter and come on our own!

Re: Does anyone fancy a midwinter Melbourne curry night?
Hello fellow poppadom conoisseurs,
It's been a long time since we had a curry night. I have, in my extensive and expensive research on the subject, found a reasonably "English" curry house in Bayside Melbourne, Parkdale to be precise, slap bang next to the train station. The decor is suitably shabby and out-of-date, the background music is suitably corny, the service is suitably slow and the food is pretty remeniscent of your average post-lagers-down-the-fox-and-ferrett curry, at least as near that as I've found here.
So lets start planning, and arrange a date for a winter warmer.
Anyone interested?
