Dinner for Picky’s birthday was great. First, I treated myself to a pint of Abbott’s Ale in the nearby Wetherspoons (pub chain for tightar$es), while waiting for the others to arrive – Hammersmith is on the District Line so it only takes me 30min to get there from work in Richmond.<\/p>\n

I can’t rave about Sagar enough. Back to my favourite entree of Samosa having tried “Alu Bonda” on Sheila’s birthday. Going crazy, I tried one of their curries instead of the usual and scrumptious “Dosa” option. It didn’t let me down. “Alu Ghobi” accompanied by a HUGE “poori\/puri” (puffed bread thing almost the size of my head!) called a “Batura”.
