Used to be good, used to be fine ..
Windsor Pub used to be our favourite hangout while we stayed in Frazer Town. We have taken friends umpteen times to try the best stuff there .Once we moved , (even closer) we found we were not going that often.
Walk in to the small place - loud rock music , affable conversation and smoky haze and you feel at home. Two steps away from a collapsed miners lung ,perhaps, but still at home. Its the place I brought a PG Wodehouse to read , while my husband sipped on a beer and watched cricket on the large TV screens. Other guests played a convivial game of scrabble on the bar counter ( yes it was that kind of a place !) Great atmosphere, and there was always Reggie or Sudesh who owned/ran the place to make you welcome. But soon that changed , and while you see a surly face on the bar counter saying they are not sure when you could get a table , you know why restaurants are so much about people. And you know why great places are about making you feel welcome. Service is uniformly good, otherwise. Pleasant and matter of fact .
Cut to the food .
The Pub Lunches and Dinners are their mainstay . Absolutely excellent food. I have never had a complaint about the food except that their divine Pandi Curry coud have a little fatty pork at times. The husband says the draught beer is super , and dabbles in their brain fry which he says is great too. I say ee-yuck!
The Pandi Curry is their signature dish - black , sour , spicy, tempered perfectly . It is the best I have eaten . I prefer it with parathas rather than the sannas , but both rule. Its the only place where the kachumber salad served with the main course is crisp, fresh and lemony with the perfect hint of a chili . Also , the Ceylon Kheema and Egg Paratha is great . Bring a spare tummy though. Lots of other good stuff and starters, I know, but I am writing about what I keep going back for. And its super and consistent .
For dessert, the Tosca , crisp and served hot with melting vanilla ice cream is the best . A must have !
I still go back now and then.
If only I could go back and feel I belong there , again !
