Planet Dosa, Milton Keynes (19th February 2014)

Today's outing was at Planet Dosa in Milton Keynes courtesy of a good value Groupon!

The evening started with a little confusion.....Mr Codd unsure of what was included and what was extra. On the third attempt to explain Lee gave up!

So, the Groupon included a vegetarian thali, but more about that later.

The boys took the Popodoms from the thali as their first starter and followed it up with a starter each. Lee going for a no-brainier Chilli Paneer, scoring a very respectable 9.5/ 10. Mr  Codd choosing Mushroom "delish" Manchurian, small ears with Chilli Mogo (potato in spicy masala sauce) and Simon Egg Dosa. Tony was hoping for generous portions as he hadn't eaten all day, and he wasn't disappointed, even commenting he would have been happy with half the portion presented!

The thali included chana masala, veg curry and a dhall served with rice, a chapati, raita and very limey lime pickle.  Lee ordered his hot, the other lads going for the safer milder option. The food was South Indian so a little different to the usual and received mixed reviews - Lee enjoying his but small ears was not so keen.

For scoring tonight the SLT went for an overall score, Lee with an 8, tony 7 and Simon 6. Small ears ineligible to score. Giving a 7 overall.

Sagar, Covent Garden (13th July 2012)

Harry had travelled down from Birmingham to meet up with the fellow members of the SLT curry club for a cultural pub crawl around London town.  Starting just off the Strand, moving into Covent Garden, Holborn and then the Kings Cross area the boys visited a total of 10 pubs, some of the party able to deal with the alcohol better than others - no names eh Tony!

After approximately 5 or 6, we decided to visit Sagar, a veggie paradise recommended by Lee as his local venue for a quick curry.  The boys all went for the Theatre Menu Vegetable Thali, an excellent choice of quality food, all for £6.

The meal consisted of a Biryani, Tarka Dhall, Channa Massala, Raita, Paratha and a dry Aloo dish.  The Thali also came with a rice desert.  Green chillies for Lee and Tony added the required heat to spice up the dishes, Simon ate his full Thali and then looked for left overs from others. 

No alcohol in the restaurant but a pub next door allowed the party to have a pre meal drink, service was quick and friendly, with really authentic and tasty dishes.

This is a no-frills Indian restaurant producing wonderfully flavoured dishes. Each one is beautifully spiced and balanced.  Everyone really enjoyed the meal, excellent food and exceptional value meant that this is a must visit restaurant.

Difficult to score the meal as it did not follow the traditional format the club are used to, but has to be up there with the best that we have visited.
