Anniversary Dinner

Story location: Home / food_and_drink /
10/Oct/2005

We were going to go to Habibi (on Far Gosford Street) - we'd been there before, for Emma's birthday. It was where we acquired a taste for falafel. Unfortunately, we got there to find that it was closed on mondays. We walked down the road looking for somewhere else, and decided upon the Nawaz (a Balti House upstairs from Gosford Wine).

We'd brought a bottle of champagne with us to celebrate our anniversary. Thankfully, the place was unlicenced so we were allowed (encouraged) to bring our own drink.

We shared starters: Onion Bhaji and chicken tikka. For the main course, I had the Prawn with Dall Balti and Emma had the Chilli Chicken Balti. They came served in the huge metal bowls, and the servings were very generous. For accompaniment, we had the chicken fried rice and one Giant Naan between us. The naan was indeed giant. We ended up taking most of it home.

Verdict: The whole meal came to less than £20 for both of us. The food was great in both taste and value. The staff are friendly. Initially we were disappointed that we couldn't get into Habibi but we still ended up having a good night out and some good food.
