The Cambridge Curry Community

A little while back I mentioned that I was working on a little side project with a friend to tackle the appalling disabled access in our area. Click here! One of my best friends is currently on a crusade fighting for better wheelchair access around Cambridge. It would mean a lot to him (and me) if you could check out his blog and support him in his fight!  I think its a fantastic piece of work and he has been working damn hard on it over the past few months. It is great for highlighting the every day struggle of being in a wheel chair and really makes you appreciate how we take being able bodies for granted every day.  The blog really highlights how simple things like going for a meal or for a coffee can actually be a real challenge in some of our biggest high street names. He has done it in a way which really makes you see what it can be like through his own eyes. I personally feel poor wheelchair access should be ancient history in this day and age and I am sure after re

Woo! Back in Brighton on an absolutely stunning and sunny bank holiday! Naturally the first thing we do is head straight indoors for an Indian! Though we were heading out of the sunlight, I thought we might at least try and keep in the theme of the summer fun and head for a very popular restaurant called "Indian Summer", a multi award winning restaurant with a fantastic reputation all over the city. It is also one of only two Brighton restaurants which were named in the  2014 Best In Britain Restaurant Awards (BIBA) .  Appearing quite small from the outside, it is easily missed in the very busy central area of Brighton, not too far from the famous Lanes and the sea side. Once you walk inside however the place opens up to a very modern and atmospheric restaurant with plenty of seating.  We were greeted by two very friendly and energetic young people called Tim and Asta who gave us a choice of seating. We decided to sit in the back so we could get a good look a

We decided to take a break from the usual traditions of the Easter weekend and have a curry instead of another boring roast dinner. So my dad, Jack and I headed to a place which was well over due for a visit - The Basmati in Ely.  I always order my take away's from the Basmati as they are incredibly punctual and quite consistent with their food. Not only that but they are on Just Eat and during the week have 20% off orders over £18, so there are some good bargains and set menu deals to be had too, what's not to like?  Yet for some reason I have never managed to actually visit the place despite cycling or driving past it numerous times during my shenanigans around Ely, so I was really looking forward to this! From the outside the restaurant is hardly a sight to behold and can be easily missed on the busy street outside. Upon entering you hardly get blown away by its interior decorating either, but overall the place has nothing offensive about it. Its just a very
