None of the spots around here serve rice. Dunno. Maybe that region is too arid to grow it? I don’t have any idea.

It seems they don’t hardly eat rice in Ethiopia but do eat a lot of Teff instead.

jonattonyeah I once went for an Ethiopian meal in North London and it was surprisingly decent. Pretty sure it was The Queen of Sheba in Kentish Town.

It was definitely presented in a more appealing fashion than that plate though.

In fairness, that’s a shared thing we had. Order ala carte and it looks better

Mustard!

Smallman1 did you have the Mustard Life cocktail!!

I’ve been to the one in Soho, and thought it was very average.

Will let @bosstrabs deal with this, I can’t be arsed

Unfortunately, I have no real expertise on anything outside Chinese cuisine, so won’t pretend to.

However, I do know an absolute CUNT when I see one, and that’s what Smallman is.

Smallman1

The confit duck leg was sublime!

And the tarka daal?

Mamma mia!

Dave FEWMIN as per, love it!

Mad_Cyril

Here you go Dave, this should help to soothe…

“Born in a shipping container at Pop Brixton and now located on the notorious Atlantic Road – Kricket Brixton is our home!”

That plus the shite menu tells you all you need to know.

bosstrabs

I’m absolutely raging, first of all that such a place exists, secondly that Smallman had an enjoyable time doing something.

ScottBailey

bosstrabs Not missing out on much, Dave. Brixton is a hole. In the last 24 hours there’s been a stabbing and a separate drive-by shooting. Par for the course round those parts these days. S to the werve!

whatever

ScottBailey

And they still failed to get Ed, even after two attempts? That’s just sheer incompetence.

bosstrabs

So you’re saying there’s a possibility the Brixton equivalent of The Crips (More Pussy Crew or whatever they call themselves) could deliver 12 shots to Smallman’s dome, spilling hot choc everywhere? Nice.

Smallman1

No wonder MC thinks the menu is "shite’ -

He doesn’t understand what three quarters of it is.

And admittedly there’s isn’t a lamb bhuna and chips option on there for him.

Edwand you BERK.

Any half decent bon viveur knows the key to a successful Indian restaurant is its “English Dishes” menu.

At a minimum this should contain both Chicken & Chips and Omelette & Chips.

I see neither here. The menu, the précis, the decor is all designed to render vacuous idiots wallets as empty as the insides of their cranium.

Good to see the ‘concept’ is working though. Fair play.

Smallman1

Brixton is fine, when you stroll round with as much joie de vivre as me, everyone loves you.

whatever

They’re probably thinking, “Ah, day release into the community, how nice for him.”

Smallman1

Whatever getting involved with the batns, great to see!

I hope the omission of the word goujons after chicken was a test for us all, mc.

Was on a stag do with a fucking pillock (didn’t touch drugs) who ordered chicken goujons and chips when we went to the indian. Not too bad given you could serve some of the tastiest sauces on the planet along with your chicken, just to dip in and enjoy. His side of choice, tomato sauce. You’re all very welcome and i feel better after sharing that.
