Rang Mohol

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.

The only Indian restaurant close by is the Raja on King Street which offers more traditional British Indian style so is a very welcome addition to the city without stepping on anybodies toes. Hopefully there will be a time in our lives when we shouldn't ever have to walk more than 5 minutes for a curry in Cambridge!  One can dream but this could soon be a reality at this rate! The place is
