Day two of the Paisley Beer Festival, Hector has been on duty since before 14.00, at 18.30 it was time for a break. As decided yesterday, it was back to the Raja Tandoori (57 Old Sneddon St, Paisley PA3 2AN). Entering the side room, I spotted the Menu and serviettes on the table where I had left them, so no other sit in customers in the past twenty four hours.
Mein Host greeted me a greater air of confidence – You were here yesterday.
I left my Card.
The Curry-Heute Website was shown on the new LG phone, the Replacement Samsung is no more. The Panasonic Lumix which has been used to take most of the Curry Photos in this Blog has mysteriously packed in. It will be the end of the month before this will be addressed.
We are Takeaway, not Restaurant – declared Mein Host as he pointed to the other tables which had materials piled high on top.
I am working at the Beer Festival, I need to sit down.
He was not aware of this event – The Beer is free?
(Imagine) That would be interesting. Well it is free for those of us working at the event.
I asked for a Lamb Achari. This came from the – Popular – section of the menu. £7.00 was the expected price. The – Chef’s Specialities – clearly include Rice, perhaps the Lamb Achari would not.
A van pulled up outside, Delivery Men, bringing even more to be stored in the Dining Area. I heard – Raja – being used to address Mein Host.
The Curry came as quick as yesterday, almost in an instant. The water vapour rising from the Rice once again confirmed that the Food served at Raja Tandoori is Piping Hot, I abhor tepid food.
The Blast of Flavour from the Pickle was Wonderful! This was exactly what I had anticipated. The Spice Level was again Fine, the Seasoning less of an issue in Achari.
The Masala was once again in the style which has to be regarded as – Soup – this was Indian Curry. I felt there was less Meat in today’s portion, else I was hungrier and wolfed down the Lamb in record time. In terms of overall enjoyment, this was a much Better Curry than I was served yesterday.
If I find myself working at Paisley next year, I shall be back.
Mein Host came through to chat as I finished my meal. The problem of maintaining the consistency of Curry was discussed. He works hard at ensuring that what is served at Raja Tandoori is the same every day. Respect to a man who has been in business this long.
The Bill
£8.50. Same as yesterday.
The Aftermath
Mein Host was persuaded to pose for a photo, he insisted his Lady join him. Thank you.
