We went to Spice Lounge, Petersfield in May and enjoyed ourselves as usual. Pleny of choice in the menu, selected by the restaurant: achari lamb, chicken chilli massala, lamb korai, korai prawn, chicken korai, prawn dhansak, saag aloo, and the centrepiece dish was a superb kulchi lamb.  Good turnout again - our average numbers are well up on last year.

A big turnout enjoyed no less than 11 main dishes - chicken in the main (dhansak, CTM, chilli massala, korma, pathia), aloo gobi as a main course, something that had started with prawns in it (just sauce remaining by the time I saw it) but with some good lamb dishes too and a kulchi lamb to top it all off.  We were made as welcome as ever by Foggys beforehand, and Susie added a dimension of calm refinement to the evening.  John and Fiona arrived back from Mexico just in time to attend.  In one of the pictures, Fiona looks as though she's holding a Martian's goolies, but it's really not true, they're just a pair of maraccas.  A great time (and not a small drinks bill) shared by all.

The venue for 8th March was Petersfield - Spice Lounge, with Drinks at Foggys.  Malcolm was the organiser for the evening and reported a great meal with a very good turnout.

An excellent turnout, with food to match. Thank you to all the members that e-mailed to say Yes or No - it meant that we got the booking right which helps both the restaurant and us.  Kulchi lamb was top of the bill, with a wide variety of other curries and side dishes.  And a contribution from members and the restaurant of £32 to the Disasters Emergency Committee.

New owners, new menu - they cooked Indian Indian for us, including a Kulchi Lamb and a Kulchi Chicken - specials that normally have to be ordered 24 or 48 hours in advance.  They were both great, and other great dishes included pilau rice with lamb chops, dhal, and vegetables.   We really appreciated the effort they'd made to bring us something out of the ordinary.  Well worth a visit.

Upstairs in the half-timbered building where the Donkey Cart used to be.  Was previously the Tara Palace (was that up until the Great Fire of Petersfield?). Wide range of choices, within easy reach of Foggys.
