I tend to avoid any town on a Saturday.
The town was busy, it seemed even busier than when shoppers out Christmas shopping or the January Sales.
Everywhere was packed.
I had intended to eat at Shanti around one, arrived at two.
It too was busy, two spare seats at a table for four.
I was asked to come back in forty-five minutes.
I took a walk up The Strait, Steep Hill and into Bailgate.
I noticed yet another business on Steep Hill closing. No surprise, one of the junk shops that is rarely open,
On the way back down, a chat with Fools on the Hill, fools with a table urging people to support a Second Referendum, only they lack the integrity and honesty to call it a Second Referendum and call it a People’s Vote. No surprise, entirely clueless the EU and having a hard time gaining any support.
No change at Shanti, but the couple on the table for four about to leave.
To my annoyance told we have to check our bookings.
It was then, ask a group of Indians on a table to move up to create space for me.
Begs the question, why not put me on table where there was room when I first walked in?
Half an hour before a couple of rostis served with a small portion of salad. I was asked vegetarian cheese or vegan cheese? In other words real cheese or fake cheese, fake cheese which actually cannot be called cheese.
A vegetarian cum vegan fake Indian restaurant.
I was looking forward to eating at Shanti, I was very disappointed.
I found it to be very cramped and claustrophobic.
The food was ok not great. Not sure what was dumped on top. It tasted like jam.
I have had a far better dosa off a stall at the Guildford farmers market, and far far better Indian food elsewhere. I have also eaten at far better vegetarian restaurants.
The irony was, I passed Curry Jacks by the river. I would but the fact a cold location, been better off trying their food.
Curry Jacks once a month an evening of their food at Coffee Aroma.
