I looked into the Indian restuarant concerned, the Raj Mahal, which is on the corner of Worcester & Manchester. Many of you probably will have dined there.
It is owned by some relative of my secretary (relative being a verrrry broad term in the Indian community it would appear!). However she has been unable to get hold of either of the owners, and they may be out of town or something. Undeterred i have sought out and found their website. http://www.rajmahal.co.nz/ - the menu is http://www.rajmahal.co.nz/rest_menu.html I have loved every meal I have had there. I usually find that if weach person orders an entree and a main, and it all just gets shared around, then you get a great meal with an interesting variety of tastes. Actually instead of ordering individual entrees there is a starter platter which would probably work out cheaper. I think we would probably get away with under $25 per head for food, plus whatever you drink of course (a few lagers does wash it down well i find!). Thats on the basis of one main ($13-$18) , plus share of a starter platter (say one between two or $6.75 each) lus a few extras like naan bread, poppadums etc if this is to everyone's taste and budget, I suggest we: 1. fix a night 2 tentaively book 3. establish numbers 4. confirm booking with correct numbers. 5. eat drink & be merry! If any of our younger members want to come, i think they will be ok to be on licensed premises with the adults. i won't personally guarantee their welfare to their parents, but I think as a whole we would be able to say to parents that we won't let them drink, and will try and see that they get to the appropriate bus stop, or whatever.
