'The place is bursting with happy, noisy, lovely human life'
Murphy’s Pakora Bar – It’s a famous name from back in the day, sprung back to life
This restaurant reviewing schtick is not exactly like being in the movies right now, not even Ratatouille.Earlier tonight and for the second week in a month I rolled up to a restaurant that promises to be wide open and welcoming only to see shutters down, doors locked. Salty, crispy aubergine fritters with tandoori chaat masala batter soothe the pain; three-cheese pakora, dusted with grated mozzarella and filled with cream cheese and cheddar, put out fires.And the waiter is back with a jug of cooling water, no doubt alarmed by the prospect of the auld geezer with the beetroot coupon not surviving to the bill.
But they are open tonight when everyone else isn’t so double bonus points. And … as I previously said: they’re not just open. The place is bursting with happy, noisy, lovely human life. So high-five.The £9 Indian fish and chips is much better though, the haddock fillet here being obviously very fresh, and freshly cooked, steamy moist and fully delicious.I like this.
