Sorry for the awful headline but check out Tikka Tuesdays at the pub chain Slug and Lettuce (there are over 70 of them, see Slug and Lettuce for a list of them). And as an added bonus small bottles of Cobra are £2.50.
Choose from Chicken Tikka Makani, Beef Bhuna, Lamb Madras, Goan Vegetable Curry, Chicken Korma, Thai Green Curry, Channa Dhal and Prawn Makani.
It’s also worth noting that it’s 50% off food on Mondays too for a more limited choice of curries.

It’s been a while now but for those who don’t know, the Taste of India has closed. I always liked the place, especially the lunch buffet, which gave a good opportunity to taste a few dishes in one sitting. But, it seems, central Greenwich, unlike the rest of the country, seems incapable of sustaining more than one curry house in the same street. Only one thing for it… eat more curry you lot.
Check out cobrabeer.com/nationalcurryweek for 2-4-1 offers when you buy a Cobra. There a few participating places near SE10 but the offer only lasts till 25 Nov…

After stumbling across the new Mongoose beer (see review on October 15, 2010) in Cambridge, Wells & Young’s has sent a list of outlets that sell the beer in southeast and east London. This list includes two of the GCC’s favourites, the Moghul Tandoori (see review January 8, 2010 and February 17, 2010) and Memsaheb on Thames (see review on October 15, 2010) as well as the excellent Mala in St Katherine’s Dock. Time to try a beer methinks…
Three cheers to anyone who produces beer that’s what I say. And an extra cheer to anyone who produces beer to go with Indian food. So cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer to the newest addition of ‘Indian’ beers in the UK – Mongoose.
It’s been out a while now but I’ve only just managed to find a pint of it.
Wells & Young’s (who used to make Cobra) launched the beer earlier this year to take on Cobra and Kingfisher in the Indian beer market. It won’t be lost on you that the mongoose and the cobra are well-known fighters. Cheeky name indeed.
A lager, Mongoose has got a much smoother taste than its super crisp competitors so the beer will go particularly well with creamy dishes like Korma, Pasanda and, of course, the old favourite Chicken Tikka Masala.
Meanwhile, another new beer, Monsoon, brewed in Christchurch, New Zealand, is also set to enter the same market, the excellent Curry Council in Manchester reports.
