Sorry guys but today I cannot be with you and enjoy the Curry Night! Have a nice evening!

Me + guest will be turning up later, probably around half eight. Save us a seat.

buhu! just found out that I have to work this evening. Sorry for cancelling on such a short notice. Enjoy the evening.

Hi,

How was the evening yesterday? Hope you had a lof of fun

It was a nice evening! I wouldn't recommend the restaurant if you like good Indian food. Cerise had a curry that was actually white!

Also they were not so good at coping with numbers

I'd second the not coping with numbers. My jalfrazi was so so, I guess they cook for the home market. I'd ask for it hotter if I went again.

It's not bad as a budget option but there are certainly better places in town.

I may be a curry philistine, but I was on the unimpressed side...

Hello PurpleMuffin et al

Are we still on for the next Frankfurt Curry Night to be at Banjara on the 23rd?

Will there be a sign-up sheet forthcoming?

Thanks for letting me know - and looking forward to it if we're on.

Historically curry night (and other restaurant meet-up) details have been posted around a week in advance of the event to save confusion with other things that have been going on. Curry night always has a sign up sheet. Can't speak for what Purple Muffin may be planning, but I'm up for Banjara too!

Yes still on for 23rd as soon as I have booked the restaurant (Banjara) I will adjust the thread and sign up sheet so watch this space

It says that there are 3 spots remaining but that online reservations are closed!

Yes that is because it is for last weeks event. As I said above as soon as I have got through to the restaurant I will update the sheet and thread!

Hi all and sorry for the short notice. This week we will be going to the Banjara.

See you there

Me can't wait also. Haven't had a decent ruby for months.

They don't call me "three plain, three spicy - and the pickle tray, Abdul" for nothing

With all the hype about the Banjara i have to give it a try sometime...normally i wouldn't venture into Furt on a school night but hey, if i'm going to get a decent jalfrezi or madras it should be worth it

well, if that means I don't have the journey back to Wiesbaden alone I might join ya.

Bloody hell, it's full already! Put me on the stand by list, please.

hi! If there is space, I'd like to come as well : )

Can I just point out that those of you who have signed up to pull out at the last minute should be afraid - very afraid. With a waiting list already I cannot be responsible for my actions. So if you are going to drop out please do so now!!!

@Silly Point I am sure we can squeeze you in! You don't mind sitting on my knee do you?
@Ocean I am sure we can squeeze you in too. I'd offer Silly Point's knee but we might be getting a but friendly then!

See you all Wednesday

Hi there

Is it too late ?
I just arrived in Frankfurt yesterday, it would have been nice to meet people just like that
Just tell me if there is a possibility, or then when would be the next one ?

thx

@ Rilana - I will almost certainly be driving so I can give you a lift back to WI if you need one

Rilana are you definitely coming? As you are not on the list. I need to extend the booking if I can blimey this one is full. Am sure it will be ok though.

Ok folks the good news is I have increased the booking so we should not have a problem. We might have to sit a bit close together though so hope you are all healthy

Yey! Perfect...

Nice
See you tomorow at 19h30 at Banjara then !

can't make it to dinner this time unfortunately but will be in frankfurt anyway at the theatre so could come and join you guys for drinks afterwards if you go on somewhere...
have fun!!

so just to make sure I don't end up in the countryside, I can take the U-Bahn to the Suedbahnhof and walk from there? I'm coming from mainz and am still a newbie when it comes to frankfurt transportation

Easier is if you get off the S-Bahn at Lokalbahnhof turn left and go under the bridge. Cross the road and you'll see Hainer weg and the restaurant on your left. You could get of at the Südbahnhof too but Lokalbahnhof is a bit closer

By the way everyone we should all do our best to be there on time since there are so many of us. Under the circumstances if people are quite late we will start ordering anyway. The kitchen is small in the Banjara and they cannot physically bring everyone's meals at once anyway.

Jen - I'll meet you at the Lokalbahnhof and we can head there together...or, if you want to come down to Frankfurt earlier, I finish work at 6 and we can go for a drink before dinner and make our way there together...

Anyone else welcome too of course!

edit: Rough idea of the price range of Banjara?

Deal I will call you ahead of time if I can be there then !

PS thanks for the infos Purple Muffin!

Most main courses are between 10-15€ depending on what you order. I cannot remember the beer costs but I usually end up spending about 20€ for a main and a drink or two.

Ta! Already looking forward to my curry!

Does anyone have any parking tips? Is it walkable from the Alt-Sachsenhausen Parkhaus??
Cheers!

No idea...but if it's near the Lokalbahnhof I should think so...?!

It is yes but I would just park at the top of Hainer Weg and walk down there are spaces further up if you don't mind walking. Otherwise sometimes get lucky outside in the street or there is a small car par in the Schlecker. It is pot luck really.

Do you think I could still squeeze in?

i might show up. if there is room to !

There would have been room. We had to sit on 2 separate tables anyway.

I still cannot for the life of me work out how we got 20 people though. My last count was 21 but then rozija and her +1 couldn't make it bringing it down to 19. So we had one extra anyway. They coped pretty well under the circumstances.

I spoke to them and we thought that for next time at the Banjara we could do it banquet style where everyone pays 15€ per head and they bring us a selected unlimited number of dishes - one or two chicken, lamb, veggie, spicy/non spicy, naan, rice etc. It would make things a lot easier on all sides so let me know what you think. I think even Prob+1 might actually decide to setup his own login to guarantee a place for all you can eat Banjara.

Lovely evening food as good as ever

I was considering coming along. Although I heard no word that there was room. Hope it was a good one ! Sounded like it was going to be!

I cannot now believe there was two no shows ! typical.

The 15€ banquet idea sounds good. That way everyone gets to try a few different dishes too!

Was absolutely delicious and hit the spot and a v. nice crowd too!

I am very sorry but I had left the office at 5pm when you posted and do not have constant internet access so didn't see your post until too late.

They were actually not no shows as Rozija told me she was stuck in work! So I call that a cancellation not a no show.

When are you organising the next one? Any chance it may be during fasching?

Yes I guess in two weeks time it will be. So next one will be an Ash Wednesday (6th February)

Still not decided on a location yet though.

You know what? I`ve been in Ffm for 4 years and nvr been to the TT Curry Night. Although been to nearly all Indian restaurants I shall now break the tradition and go with you TT`ers and try and turn up to the next one

I wish I knew... I just thought that Banjara is such a small place and it would be just impossible to fit in any extra people there... lol

Anyway, €15 deal sounds like a great idea to me. I always suffer from the fact that I can't try it all!

Hi There

New to Frankfurt and the curry night sounds like fun...I would love to come along to the next one. Can you tell me when it will be?

Hi Dublin,

Curry night normally runs every two weeks so the next one is this coming Wednesday.

I am a little busy this week however perhaps another curry enthusiast would like to suggest a restaurant and book a table?

Also interested in curry night... Just moved here so sorry I can't help with suggestions...
