The service was friendly enough, even though it was a bit difficult to attract the server’s attention. I had a Bacon & Cheddar pasty. Not sure on what a pasty is? Let wikipedia show and tell you. I hope that the grossly inflated prices we paid here were reflective of the locale (Covent Garden ain’t known for being cheap), and not of the chain on a whole.

I had a traditional beef pasty and it was HUGE! The prices were atrocious, but the pasty was pretty good. Better than what I expected from a chain.

The main waiter seemed annoyed that we were there, and the entire staff seemed like they had something better to do. We got hit twice with upsell tactics and the food itself was rather weak on flavor. I had the Kabab Afghani and Funky Pie ice cream dessert, which was a joke. It was served rock-hard out of their freezer. I’d say skip this place altogether. We were only there because we wanted some Indian food close to the theater where we’d just seen The Producers.

This place sucks. Nothing else to say about it.

But seriously, how can you resist trying something called ‘Funky Pie?’

London

Hey all,

We made it to London. I felt sorry for the lady from apartments apart waiting for us to arrive, because our plane from Hamburg was delayed more than 30 minutes last night. So she had to wait long after normal business hours for us to arrive. Fortunately, walking to the place from Paddington Station was a snap.

I’m writing from an internet cafe down the street from our apartment. Sarah’s planning our shopping trip (she desperately needs lip balm) prior to our viewing of The Producers this afternoon. After that, our schedule is wide open. I want to take advantage of our three-day travel card and explore. Maybe the Salvador Dali art museum.

If you’re ever in London and bewildered by the public transportation options, step right up to the ticket windows at a big station like Victoria or Paddington and tell them what you need. They’ll very patiently explain the options to you and make a recommendation. Loved that. Much thanks to the guy who helped us last night!
