Curry night - every Wednesday evening in Munich

I won't be there. But I was there yesterday evening and Kumar kept saying to me, "23", "July 23", "23". I couldn't figure out exactly what his point was but he seems to have 23rd July etched into his memory. So I'd recommend you reserve even if it's only you and lover boy Jordigo to go. Just to save poor young Kumar from wondering whether a mob is going to flash his restaurant that evening.

Incidently, the world's best ever Sitar waiter, Shoki, now works at Bella Italia on Rosenheimer Platz.

Hasn't July 23rd pretty much been and gone by now? Or maybe I should book a table for July 23rd next year (except that it's a Friday, so even if I'm still living in Munich I'll probably be down the pub instead)...

July 23 was the date that started it all. Remember? two weeks ago Merengue, 16 folks showed up, and we didn't get mango shots :-(

Aparently, He remembers the date that we were a pain in his arse and brought it up last night to us. Course, he still gave me a free beer, as always. Gotta love the guy.

Hmmm nope, that was the 16th (and although nobody else got free shots, I got a free nan bread!).

I'll be there tomorrow - as if you needed confirmation.
Will probably go for drinks before, but not sure where.

Said I could go for a drink beforehand: Can't

Gotta go discuss who gets to keep the dead cat's eyeballs with my ex.

O Joy.

I moved to Munich a month ago and I am desperate to find some English-speaking company! I would love to come to curry night. Is there room for one more?

for table reservation purposes (if required): I may be bringing a mate (american, but nice anway )

Star: no problem for you to turn up, so see you later. I'm sure you'll recognise a couple of us from the pictures we've posted before. Check the maps earlier in this thread to find how to get there.

Is there room for 1 more? I wouldnt mind coming along again, its just the weather for it!!

For possible reservation purposes: I'm a nice American who will come anyway.

Well we're booking the table at 4pm (when the restaurant opens), so for anyone posting up until then: No problem.

where are the drinks happening? I could come along for a cold one beforehand but will probably leave then...

AM: I don't know if that's when the restaurant opens, it just seems that they never answer the phone before then.

Bee: Drinks will be at the usual pre-curry-drinks venue, 8pm.

OK, I've reserved a table for 10 people at 9pm.

A turnout of 9 - not too bad. The curry wasn't as hot this week, but it still had a bit of a kick to it

And here's the obligatory photo collage:

A few new faces I notice! Nice! And noone wearing black - what happened AM?

It's too hot for black.

Correction, AM, its too hot for clothes. I hope you won't be going that far though. Gad, you've just reminded me - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3130817.stm

To be honest I'm not sure what the fuss is about - why did people complain (prompting his arrest)? Because he wasn't a young beautiful woman?

What about tonight for a curry? Or perhaps better a few shandys in a biergarten?

I just looked shandy up -- it's a Radler! And "Tristram Shandy" was written more than a hundred years before shandy as Radler made it into the dictionary... shandygaff too. What a word.

Can't come tonight though. Got a date with some hot'n'heavy metal.

The grill.

I'm definitely currying tonight, so if anyone else fancies coming please post here and let me know!

can't make it tonight, but could't pass up this opportunity to sneak in a cheeky comment concerning Radler

it is shandy! no more and no less! it says so in the dictionary! ha!

PS: patron, une stella artois!

okok I'll come to the usual curry *yawn*.

Had an Asda chicken Jalfrezi in the UK at the weekend and it tasted JUST like the real thing. Cost about € 3.30 !!! Bleedin eck! I'm going to bring a truckload back with me in a month's time... the tikka masala was good too!
Managed to sneak 3 of them back with me in a coolbag. They tested the damn things for explosives at Heathrow!!! The explosives girl (nice, indian) was very apologetic and hoped I enjoyed them when I got to my destination... I didn't ask for any cooking tips

Heh! Something similar happened to me, NoGo. Cardiff? Not sure if I posted this before, but...

Security: "Is that your case?"
Noddy: "I think so. Its a bit far away, I can't really see."
S: (fetches case)
N: "Yes, that's mine."
S: "Did you pack it yourself?"
N: "Yesss..."
S: "Did anyone ask you to carry anything for them?"
N: "Noooo..."
S: "So everything in this case is yours?"
N: "Yesss..."
S: "Something is showing up as explosives on our scanner."
N: "Say wha'?!"
S: "Open your case please, sir."
N: "Yeah. Okay." (opens case)
S: (rummages through contents) "Do you often carry a loaf of Tesco sliced bread and half a ton of choccies with you when going abroad, sir?"
N(grinning): "I can eat some of it now if you want."

Apparently it just shows up as "organic material".

What time you currying tonight?

Is it too late to add a name?

P

We meet at around 9pm (although I'm occasionally a few minutes late due to my German course). It looks like it's going to be a small turnout tonight, so I've not bothered booking - feel free to come along!

I'm not going to the curry evening this week I'm afraid - my company is having a "don't let the door hit you on the way out" party, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to accidently pour a maß over the heads of some of the managers...

I just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to the Sitar! I went there last Wednesday with my hubby and I was thrilled! I have been here a few months but no one has been able to introduce me to a decent Indian or Chinese restaurant. Any tips on a decent Chinese restaurant...?

There's a nice Chinese in Sendling, but I can't remember the name. They've got a pond in the place with fish in it. Not sure if you can select your main course from there though...

try the restaurant guide mata...

I'll miss the curry this week too, as I'll also be attending the aforementioned "don't let the door hit you on the way out" party.

shame about that...I like to see see my dinner breathing just before it's fried and coated in sauce! Thanks for the tip...I guess I'll check it out shortly..

Where are you all hiding?

Yes, the board is hiding posts from me again. Anything later than my "nice Chinese" post, actually. Except I see they show up in the "Last 10 Posts" list..

Noddy, you're not the only one... I've suffering at the hands of that particular feature... if my memory serves me correctly Ed Bob claimed it was the settings in my browser ... but I think he was telling me porkies...

It's happened to me too - I reckon it's a bug in the forum software.

Koala! Long time no read! I thought you'd dropped off the edge of the world.

I suppose its "nice" to know I'm not the only one who couldn't see some posts.

Hallo Noddy,

I'm still here ... I've not gone far... just moved house (across town to Kolumbusplatz) and had a slight tussle with Telekom trying to keep my old phone number, Internet access etc... Amazingly enough I came out on the winning side. That has to be a first!

Then I've had the annual parental visitation these last two weeks so the closest I got to a computer was stowing my laptop in the bottom of the wardrobe once we'd finished putting the all the furniture back together!

The flat still looks a little as if a bomb has hit it... but I might just be able to make the infamous curry night this week!

Koala

I knew about the move, Koala, but not about the rest. Glad you got it all sorted anyway. Two weeks with the parents? Mine are restricted to a long weekend

Don't know how many will be there for curry this week - looks like Spud and AM are wimping out. Not sure about me. Probablz not.

Can't make it my dears, am away in outer space. Surfing the milky way...

I'm gagging for a curry this week, so I'll definitely be going again. Who else is coming?

Aye, I'll be there. Haven't been for a couple of weeks now...

Just found this thread. Never knew there's be so many others who share my excellent taste in cuisine.

Is the curry trip on this week, or wot?

And can you get Chicken Tikka Masala? Or is it like one of those places where you need to drink three pints just to be able to pronounce anything on the menu?

I'm grateful for any info.

Yes, yes, the curry is on, at 9pm as usual. They have a "tandoori chicken masala" which is basically the same as a chicken tikka masala, but they've also told us that they can cook stuff that isn't on the menu - all we have to do is ask.

Sound.

Is it 9pm every week? Because I've just realised I'm booked this Wednesday

What about these bevvies beforehand? That still on every Wednesday too?

Just to clarify, I won't be coming this week but next week (3rd Sept) if that's OK. For the drinks too. I just need to know where and when. Can I bring the missus? She's German but speaks fluent English.

Nice one

karambos

I think I'll be up for a couple of Apfel Schorles before the curry tomorrow, so if anyone else's up for it, let me know. I'm not going to be a Billy-No-Mates and sit there on my own for an hour...

Karambos, the pre-curry drinks aren't as regular as the curry itself, but they're usually at the Gewürzmühle, which is just round the corner, at 8pm-ish. Check the maps earlier in this thread to see exactly where it is.

No problems bringing the Mrs. along.

Count me in Malc, for both drinks and curry.
I've just got the 'kaution' back from my old flat - so I can afford to go out again!

See you at the pub, probably not at the curry though.

I'll come along but will have to jump on bike at 22:15 to go star gazing.
