Tonight, we hit the The Rang Mohol. This has been a well over due target for us for some time now and I am so glad we have finally managed to visit. Sadly, thanks to geographical inconveniences, a lack of time and a serious lack of money,  it has not been a possibility, until now! The Rang Mohol is the sister restaurant of The Lalbagh in Bourne  and is located in the fine town of Sawston, just south of Cambridge.
