Aziz Khan Restaurant
We watched this place develop from an empty shop-front shell to a fully kitted-out restaurant, and finally went to visit tonight, a couple of weeks after they opened. Now I wouldn’t call myself an expert on Indian food, but I am partial to a good curry. And I’m here to tell you they serve a VERY good curry!

I had the Lamb Punjabi, and it was perfect. Nice ‘n spicy but amazingly full of flavour. Not just hot-hot-hot, loads of taste too. Precious few Indian chefs seem to be able to manage this; they’ll either make it mild-and-tasty, or hot-and-hot. I’m happy to report Aziz Khan found one of these precious few! Others around the table had Tandoori King Prawn, Chicken Korma and Lamb Biryani, and they were all as happy with theirs as I was with mine. Poppadums with chutneys, two different Nan breads, two different Bhajees and two different sorts of rice accompanied. Again, all spot on.

Service was attentive without being intrusive or overbearing. The food arrived quickly, albeit with one minor mistake which was promptly corrected. Quality was very high. Good value too!

What would I change if I could? There is really only one suggestion I could make: when you come to take the drinks order, drop off some poppadums etc. right away. Add a quid onto the main course prices if you must, but get some munchies down quickly.

So full marks to Aziz Khan, I’m very impressed. We’ll be back.

You can call them on 01159 455 255. Or visit them online at www.AzizKhan.co.uk. Tell them I sent you! And then come back here and share your experience.

Me: “No.”

Telemarketer: “Errrrr” (this wasn’t in the script)
Me: ” ”
Telemarketer: “I think we have a bad connection.”
Me: ” ”
Telemarketer: “Can I speak to Kenndle Pimblekin, please?” (Why don’t these companies employ people who have at least SOME idea how to read?)
Me: “No.”
Telemarketer: (finally realising that I’m being deliberately obstructive) “I want to speak to Mr (mumble)ting.”
Me: “And I’m not going to let you.”
Telemarketer: ” ”
Me: ” ”
Telemarketer: “Please can I speak to Kimbon Penderton?” (or at least people who can mis-pronounce my name the same way every time? So far he’s asked to speak to four different people, none of whom are ME)
Me: “No.”
Telemarketer: “Who are YOU to tell me that?”
Me: “I’m the person who answers this phone.”
Telemarketer: ” ”
Me: “You known, the phone that you called, uninvited, despite the fact that I’m TPS-listed and you have broken the law?”
Telemarketer: ” ”
Me: “I’d like your full name, and the name of the company you work for, please?”
Telemarketer: ” ”
Me: “Your full name, please? The police can’t do anything without it.”

Wonder why he hung up? We were getting on so well.

It’s so difficult to make new friends these days.

This day better be worth getting up twice for!


This morning I woke up just barely on time, clawed my way out of bed and into the shower. Dried off, dressed, half-fell down the stairs and made my first cup of coffee (I hate it when the wife’s away). As I took my first sip, I woke up…

Don’t you just hate it when that happens?

And not a whole lot of fun, either. A friend pointed me at this video, and it blew me away.
