There is a Barrel Party this afternoon, Lunch is required afore. A Snack, nothing Heavy, but why compromise and eat Bland? Babu Bombay Street Kitchen (186 West Regent St, Glasgow, G2 4RU) should serve my purpose.
The Breakfast Deal: Bacon/Omelette Roti Wrap with included Coffee at £3.50 is good value, however as a weekend Diner I am always too late. Walking down the stairs just after noon, Mein Hostess, Kerry(?) smiled in recognition before I had opened the door. Two Diners and One Staff Member were the Co-diners. Four tables, nine low stools, two folding chairs. This is meant to be primarily a Takeaway for office workers in the hinterland, it’s Saturday.
I asked for something different and Vegetarian. Aviyal was the offer, a Vegetable and Coconut Stew. Rice was recommended as The Accompaniment. A choice of Salad on the plate became Raita.
The Bill
£7.00 with the Sparkling Water. Paid in advance, though there was the option to pay at the conclusion.
The Curry was brought, Turnip? Turnip is the one vegetable Hector has never bought, it does nothing for me. I last had Turnip when Mr. Anwar Sr. gave me a sample of the Yadgar version. That I ate, it did me no harm. There was nothing not to like about the Aviyal. The Coconut may have been present but thankfully did not dominate, there was a Slight Kick. The Dish was Wet, but that is no doubt its nature.
A Snack was required, a Snack was secured. Mission accomplished.
Was this worth £7.00? Maybes Aye, Maybes Naw.
