We all seem to have such busy lives and it is important to try and make sure that you still manage to spend time with family.
In our home it’s important to me that we all endeavour to sit down to a family dinner. It gives us time to catch up on what has been happening during the day and enjoy a bit of family time.
With the children all but grown up now this isn’t always possible as they always seem to be out with either their partners or friends.
Regardless of what’s happening though, Friday night is family night and we always make sure we are all available.
Occassionally I make the effort to cook a meal, but usually if I can I will pursuade everbody to take a stroll down to our local Indian eatery. Luckily it’s only a short walk away so we can all get to enjoy a drink with our meal and then take a nice slow walk home at the end of the night.
We have been visiting the same restaurant for over 5 years and I will admit they have had a few refurbishments in that time.
When we first started going there they had a lot of worn out looking pub furniture. This was soon replaced and in came the café furniture phase. This was certainly an improvement, but in my opinion still not the right look for an Indian Restaurant.
Within about 6 months another refurbishment followed and out went the old and in came the beautiful modern furniture.
I think this look is great and it has certainly given the restaurant a lovely new feel.
They are always trying out new ideas and recently they have introduced a fantastic buffet area.
As well as an endless supply of popodams and accompaniments, they have about 20 different dishes you can enjoy.
It is good because you get a chance to try different dishes that you wouldn’t normally order and if you don’t like it, then it doesn’t matter you just try something else.
With all this thinking about food it has put me in the mood for a curry and even though it’s only Tuesday I might just have to suggest we all visit the restaurant today so I can enjoy a mouth watering prawn biryani!!
