Score: 7.125

Price: £20

NOT RECOMMENDED

Tonight's restaurant was the first restaurant on the boys latest overseas trip, this year to Torremolinos. The restaurant is the Raj Mahal and was a conveniently located a 100 yards from the hotel!

Although only their second night away, the evening started a little subdued, probably accounted for because the boys were battered on their first night with beers, cocktails and gin, plenty of gin!

Ian and Lee decided some Faustino VII Rioja would be a good accompaniment to their spicy food, whilst Simon and Paul stuck to the large beers and Mr Codd wimping out with a diet coke!

Poppadoms started and were quickly followed by the starters, Tony selected the vegetable platter, including pakora, bhaji's and a samosa - a little dry! Lee, Simon and Ian chose Paneer Tikka, paneer served in a flavoursome yogurt sauce, extremely tasty and scored a 10 from Lee and Paul having the large portion of chicken pakora.

Mains followed, Lee and Tony going for mixed veg curry with nan, Lee's being very spicy, chicken bhuna for Paul, Ian chicken jalfrezi and simon selecting chicken balti with a cheese nan

Most enjoyed there food although commenting that the mains were nothing special. Tony struggled with his food....not a statement regularly made about Mr Codd, but he said he didn't like it, but I feel the previous evenings drinking played a part in his lack of appetite.   

Overall a pleasant evening!
