A Friday night on the Southside, most unusual. As Marg was also nearby, the Hector contrived to arrange a lift home. Just one more thing, a stop-off at Yadgar Kebab House (148 Calder St, Govanhill, Glasgow, G42 7QP).
Although 12.30 is the advertised closing time, the shutters were mostly down at 23.00 suggesting Takeaway only. The ever-present Naveed was in his spot. Two portions of Vegetable Pakora (£3.50/£5.00) were duly ordered. This could well have been the last transaction of the day.
The Bill
£4.50
I was also here to plant seed. It is a long time since The Company were fed – at Yadgar. A grand outing is in the diary for next week. Naveed suggested that 14.00 was a better time to arrive than the planned 13.00 opening time. Shkoor, Mein Host, will be contacted tomorrow. We shall fill the Yadgar coffers.
Fresh – said Naveed as he packed the Pakora. Only one pot of sauce felt necessary.
Twenty pieces of light coloured Vegetable Pakora, they still appeared to have been twice fried. Crispy, a full on delight, the Potato content was on the edge of perfection, another minute would have removed the need to bite in. Anyway, after the horrible Falafel had in Bamberg last weekend, there was no soggy mash here. The Pakora hit the spot, then there was the realisation that the Seasoning was the underlying determinant. Marg offered a few words:
I’m not used to late night snacks. Hot in temperature but spicy in flavour, a real treat.
Of course it was, I paid.
