RECOMMENDED

Following a successful journey from Stanstead to the beautiful island of Lanzarote we took Lee's recommendation for the first restaurant. Having had a relax around the pool, followed by playing some pool and a few drinks we felt it was time to eat.


PICKLES
Pickles arrived, limited selection, including all of the usual suspects, adequate but nothing out of the ordinary. Mid range scores from everyone, average of 5.333 accurately reflected the feeling on the table.

STARTERS

Starters only for Simon and Tony, Lee did not fancy a starter as well as the main meal. Tony went for Aloo Vada, fried potato dumplings, which Tony really enjoyed, scroing a well earned 8.5 Simon went for the curry club favourite ingredient, Paneer, pakora style - excellent dish and really tasty - well worth the 8.5

MAIN
Lee decided on Paneer Shashlik for his main, really pleased with the dish and the meal was of an excellent standard, scoring a deserved 8.5. Tony went for the Chicken Biryani, again another good meal, nice and tasty, scored 8. Simon decided on the Chicken Curry - good but not exceptional so scored a middle of the road 7 - average for main meals 7.833 .

No deserts appealed so they were not scored. Service was good - always on hand to replenish either drinks or pickles when required. Scored an acceptable 7.667.

The VFM scored highly, excellent quality of food for the price we paid, one of the cheaper indian meals we have had but still delivered a good quality of food which compares favourably with some of the others we have visited. Scored 9 for VFM.

If in the resort definitely one to try - good quality food at reasonable prices - well worth a visit.
