The Nawaab, Magaluf, Majorca (28th February 2009)

Overall Score: 4.400
Cost: £25-£30

NOT RECOMMENDED

Sitting on the beach front in Magaluf did very little to please the member of the SLT Curry Club. The members were not sure if coming to this restaurant in the off season would make a difference to the food, but we were soon to find out. With a choice of three pickles to go with the popadoms, which were more flexible than the plastic in our wallets; did not create the best first impression. Things did not improve with the starters which were either very dry or bland. Main courses improved slightly with both Simon's Jalfrezi and Tony's Rogan not quite up to the mark, still a disappointment. To round things off just one desert(ice cream) which did not go down well with the group. Hopefully this venue will improve in the summer months, it needs to! Please let us know if it does.

The Himalaya, Santa Ponsa, Majorca (27th February 2009)

Overall Score: 7.600
Cost: £25-£30

RECOMMENDED

The Himalaya was traditional in decor, much to Tony's liking, beer all round whilst we contemplated our choice of food. Pickles tray arrived - very good red onion salad which had a bit of a kick to it - replenished happily by the attentive waiter. Lee's veggie vindaloo hot and very good, Simon's jalfrezi bit too mild for him while Tony's Rogan Josh was the "best ever" he had tasted. Decided against the desert but was given a schnapps to wash the food down. Very good curry and good service -if you are in Santa Ponsa go to this one.
